Delta Kappa Gamma is an international society for women educators. This nonprofit organization's mission is to enhance the professional and personal growth of its members and to promote excellence in education worldwide.
Last month's meeting featured a program by member Becky Johnen, author of Facing the Sunshine and Avoiding the Shadows.
Dr. Johnen's topic was strategies to manage stress. Calling on her deep knowledge of the subject, she explained causes, types, and effects of stress on humans. Members became actively involved in a lively discussion of practical skills to reduce chronic, negative stress. Johnen helped the group gain new insights and methods for stress reduction that are vital to being a healthy, productive, and fulfilled individual.
The next meeting of local chapter Alpha Phi will be held Saturday, May 10. It will include a business meeting, luncheon, and installation of new officers as well as a program by Barbara Tray. Delta Kappa Gamma meets at the Youghiogheny Country Club, Elizabeth Township. Women educators who are interested in attending may call 412-896-1640. A society member will be able to answer any questions.
