It is such a great honor to be able to represent Psi Iota Xi on a national level.  In October, Janice Stagg, National President and I traveled to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.  I presented our check for $4000 to Dr. Ann Tyler, Chair Department Speech Pathology and Audiology.  Psi Iota Xi is the sole sponsor of the Van Riper lecture series; a two-day lecture series that brings nationally recognized professionals for exceptional educational experiences to Speech and Language Pathologist and Audiologists in our four state areas.  The lectures are now web cast to reach an even larger audience of professionals.

The first Sunday in November, Beth Keeney, West Central District Officer, accompanied me to Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.  Past National President Pat Kugler and Northwest District Officer Cindy Fairfield joined us.  We enjoyed the competition performance by the ten finalists in the Central Region for the Metropolitan Opera.  Pat and I went on stage to award the second place finalist, baritone, Norman Garrett, a check for $3000. The first place award went to two finalists Elizabeth Baldwin, a soprano, and Paul Scholten, a baritone.  This was the 39th year of presenting the second place prizewinner of the Metropolitan Opera Central Region Auditions in the name of Psi Iota Xi.

Faithfully yours, Susie
