Psi Otes Walking and Running into May

Spring Roses bloomingWhile our flowers continue to wonder if spring is truly with us, the planning for the 2012 Convention is blooming into full swing! Your 2012 Convention experience will have you to networking, sharing, challenging yourselves and yes, even some pampering and fun. The PIX Puzzle Quilt featuring the fabulous puzzle pieces each chapter sent to Iota Tau is in the making. Whomever is the lucky winner will have a heartfelt treasure to take home. Hope you are planning your convention weekend and have chosen your delegates and reviewed the suggested projects so your chapter’s vote will voice your chapter’s opinions.

Be sure to use the PIX Social page/calendar of events to share your May is Better Hearing and Speech Month activities. Each chapter can upload a photo or two, share your ideas and read about other chapter activities. Also, it has been quite exciting for Council to see your calendar postings. Check it out today, and if there is an event within easy driving distance – please take the time to go and support the chapter--an awesome networking opportunity. This method of keeping in touch is unique and “fun."

As Helicon articles and PCRs are arriving, Council is excited with the number of chapters that are adding new members. There is even a rumor we may gain a new chapter. Please remember that along with all the hard work Psi Otes do, it is important to “pamper” each other and have “fun” along the way.

It seems “Walks” and “Runs” are becoming a wave of fundraising trend for many of our chapters. Remember, even if your chapter is not sponsoring a specific activity, feel free to attend as they offer Psi Otes an opportunity to network by passing out business cards, fliers, and bottles of water. At minimum, be sure to have something with your contact information and a little information about PIX and all the wonderful things you/we do within your community, state and nationally. Be sure to take pictures of your events and seek coverage in your local newspaper (just send some photos with a note about what's going on to the local editor--they are always looking for stuff to fill spaces [in print and online publications]). Recently Psi Iota Xi was honored with a “FRIEND” award from the Indiana Speech and Hearing Organization – this was publicized in several newspapers along with local chapter contact and information. We must take every opportunity to share our wonderful contributions!

Well, ladies – back to the planning of convention, chapter visits, attending meetings and building that puzzle for the 2012 National Convention. We can't wait for you to see how it all comes together!

Loyally,
National Council
