Meeting Minutes
December 2012
Delta Kappa Gamma Society International
Chi State: Area XII: Gamma Zeta Chapter
December 12, 2012
After a wonderful dinner, with a beautifully set table and buffet by Co-President, Jackie Wayman, our meeting began with a welcome from Jackie. Guests included Alysen Royes, our Grant-In-Aid; Shirley Lampear, Angela Loya’s guest; Laura Diego, from Whole Child; Kim Gilforth, Jackie Wayman’s guest; and Alpha Chi members and guests.
The Inspiration, “On Santa’s Team”, was read by Sue Lance.
Our speaker, Laura Diego told about children experiencing homelessness and how they face mental issues like adults do. Whole Child helps families coordinate resources, i.e. housing, social services, education, and counseling, and they average an 85% success rate with families. Only 24 families are accepted into the program a year. Whole Child is on the apartment lease with the family to guarantee success for the landlord, and Whole Child subsidizes that for a period to help the family stabilize.
Treasurer Karen Bowen explained that our CD was closed and the money was transferred to the savings account since the CD was producing so little interest.
