On The Road Again--Promoting Delta Kappa Gamma Wherever We Go
Delta Kappa Gamma Illinois is reaching out to educators throughout Illinois to spread the word about the many opportunities that we have to offer. We will be going on Road Trips to Springfield, Mount Vernon, Naperville, Schaumburg and more. Yes, DKG will be exhibiting in several locations in Illinois. Our purpose is to reach out to as many educators as we can. DKG has a lot of offer and we want to provide support wherever we go--think of all we provide and all the educators we can reach if we are willing to hit the road.
Last week we were in Springfield and got to share about our Zoom workshops, our scholarships, our stipends, and the support we can provide to educators. It was invigorating to be in a room full of educators ready to return to school.
While we are concentrating on statewide conferences, all of you have the wonderful opportunity to promote DKG at the local level. How you might ask?
1. Look for Teacher Institutes in your area and ask if you can have a table to promote DKG. Make the table attractive with a tablecloth, a vase of artificial roses or ink pens that are roses, DKG Illinois bookmarks, your local chapter brochure, candy, and have participants stop by and register for a raffle prize by putting their name and email and location down and putting it in a basket.
2. Health Fairs are another possibility where you can ask to have a table, after all DKG Illinois offers terrific mindfulness activities on Zoom.
3. Farmers' Markets provide the opportunity to meet many people from your geographic region.
4. How about putting a few DKG bookmarks in the teachers' lounge?
5. How about putting your chapter brochure or bookmark up on the public bulletin board in the grocery or your local coffee shop?
6. Consider asking your local librarian if you can put a few bookmarks or chapter brochures on the bulletin board or at the desk.
The sky's the limit on where the road to promoting DKG can take us. Don't delay. Take that DKG road trip.
