Psi Iota Xi, Gamma Xi Chapter Meeting

February 7, 2023 | The Paper of Montgomery County |

Eleven members and one pledge attended the business meeting of the Gamma Xi Chapter of Psi Iota Xi held on Feb. 6, 2023. President Tonya Michael called the meeting to order with the Opening Verse and attendance was taken. An anniversary, a birthday, and Happy Bucks were announced. The treasurer’s report was given by Pam Karle. The proposed budget for the 2023-2024 year was reviewed. Members will vote on the proposed budget in March. The minutes of the last meeting were sent by email and summarized. Plans are being made for members to enjoy a social evening at Sweet Pickin’s making a welcome sign.

Committee reports were presented. Plans are being made for our Everyone Reads in Montgomery County on March 18. Elementary children in our public schools will receive information about this fun event around the first week of March. Please bring your family anytime between 10 – 1 to the Crawfordsville District Public Library. This event will be a celebration of books and spring. Children will choose a book to take home thanks to our wonderful community donor, Penguin Random House. Plans are complete for the spring geranium sale. Geraniums will be sold until April 3 and delivered in late April. Our chapter is greatly appreciative of our patrons and alumni that supports our projects. Through our fall campaign, over $2500 was donated to the Summer Speech Clinic and local projects for children in our community. The Elizabeth Backe Scholarship Fund received over $450 in the campaign. Each year our donors and chapter add to this fund that provides a yearly scholarship to a Purdue University student in speech and hearing.

Two delegates and members will be attending the Indiana State Meeting on Saturday, April 22, 2023. Our chapter will be hosting the 2024 State Meeting with our member, Jennifer Hunter, who will be the 2024 State President. The next meeting of the Gamma Xi Chapter will be held on Monday, March 6 at 7 p.m. The meeting was adjourned with our closing verse by President Tonya Michael.
