And the Beat Goes on
Membership The LiIeblood oI DKG
"Initiate, reinstate,
maintain, and energize our
membership!" These are the
words of our state president
and Beta Zeta member Joanne
Davis in the FaII Lone Star
News. It's a chaIIenge given to
each chapter to reach out to
prospective new members
and invite former members to
come back to DKG.
Membership in DKG
is a gift that keeps on giving
in terms of friendships, per-
sonaI growth, and opportuni-
ties to serve. New members
give our organization new
energy, vitaIity, and ideas
and insure that the organiza-
tion wiII remain strong in the
future.
We are thriIIed to
initiate new members in De-
cember this year in a cere-
mony at the Christmas sociaI
on December 5th. It's not too
earIy to Iook for more new
members to recommend for
the coming year. Who can
you ask? Let's start with your
teaching partner or someone
who teaches down the haII, a
teacher who is new to your
schooI or town, a retired
teacher you met through
another organization, or
someone who is just starting
her career and needs us as
mentors.
Then Iet's think
outside the box-what about
a nurse educator Iike EIiza-
beth Bispo, who has so en-
riched our chapter with her
knowIedge and voIunteering
By Jerrie DooIey
spirit? Or a coIIege teacher, a
teaching assistant, a schooI
administrator, or Iet's not
forget the educators who
work at one of Fredericks-
burg's many private schooIs.
Let's take up the
chaIIenge and expIore the
possibiIities. Bring one or
more prospective members
to a monthIy meeting begin-
ning this month Give the gift
of membership in DeIta
Kappa Gamma to someone
you know.







Nancy Stevens grew up |n the Wh|te kock Lake
area of Last Da||as, and p|ay|ng schoo| was one of
her favor|te past|mes. As she |m|tated her k|nder-
garten teacher mom and |ater her favor|te Lng||sh
teachers, she cons|dered ||terature and grammar
the "cat's meow." She earned her 8ache|or's de-
gree |n Secondary Lducat|on w|th Lng||sh and
Speech cert|f|cat|ons and |ater her master's degree
|n Gu|dance and Counse||ng at the Un|vers|ty of
North 1exas. ner ent|re 40-year career as an edu-
cator was spent at k|chardson ISD, the f|rst ha|f as
a m|dd|e schoo| Lng||sh teacher and the second
ha|f as a counse|or. She |oved the honesty and
frankness of students and the var|ety |n each day's
work. "I a|ways knew that support|ng k|ds and
he|p|ng them grow was an extreme|y worthwh||e
[ob." Among her favor|te act|v|t|es was gu|d|ng the
peer med|ator team who he|ped c|assmates re-
so|ve conf||ct s|tuat|ons and fac|||tat|ng an after-
schoo| program, "G|r| 1a|k," wh|ch taught g|r|s to
be se|f-advocates |n s|tuat|ons they were fac|ng.
Now ret|red, she en[oys danc|ng, 8|b|e study, read-
|ng, and enterta|n|ng fr|ends. ner message to new
teachers |s "1hough the [ob |s demand|ng, there |s
noth|ng more |mportant than |ov|ng and gu|d|ng
our ch||dren."







2a|a koym grew up |n Centra| 1exas
attend|ng schoo| |n L|ano, San Anton|o, Lu||ng, and
Shertz. She started her co||ege career at South-
western Un|vers|ty |n Georgetown but transferred
to Southwest 1exas State Un|vers|ty, earn|ng a
degree |n Lducat|on. A |ong career teach|ng 2
nd

through S
th
grades fo||owed. ket|red after 23 years
of teach|ng, she en[oys keep|ng |n touch w|th
fr|ends and fam||y, genea|ogy research, home
construct|on, sew|ng, photography, and tenn|s.
1each|ng was a fam||y affa|r |n 2a|a's
home. ner mother and four o|der s|sters had
teach|ng degrees, and 2a|a was |nsp|red to fo||ow
|n the|r footsteps. (Note: 2a|a |s an aunt to Amy
C'Ne||---another teacher |n the fam||y and 8eta
2eta's current correspond|ng secretary.)
As an educator, 2a|a says her greatest
reward was "to |nsp|re or |nst||| a |ove of |earn|ng
|nto a ch||d's ||fe or make a ch||d fee| va|ued." She
encourages young peop|e to become teachers
because "even the most d|ff|cu|t day w||| prov|de a
teacher w|th a pos|t|ve exper|ence." She says
he|p|ng ch||dren rea||ze the|r dreams |s the u|t|-
mate reward for a teacher.
8ecky We|nkauf spent her ch||dhood |n the co|d
country of M|nnesota on a |ake |n M|nneapo||s.
She stud|ed 8us|ness and L|brary Sc|ence, gradu-
at|ng from the Un|vers|ty of Nevada |n keno. ner
career as an educator has spanned 21 years so
far. She |s the ||brar|an and techno|ogy spec|a||st
at Stonewa|| L|ementary Schoo|. She and her
husband, Iohn, moved to G|||esp|e County as
empty nesters n|ne years ago and are very happy
w|th the dec|s|on to make the|r home here. She
en[oys horseback r|d|ng, garden|ng, read|ng,
genea|ogy, sw|mm|ng, and trave||ng to v|s|t fam-
||y.
8ecky's dec|s|on to be an educator was |nf|u-
enced by her |ove for ch||dren, schoo|, and the
schoo| year. W|th three ch||dren of her own, she
spent many hours |nvo|ved |n schoo| act|v|t|es.
ner favor|te part of be|ng an educator |s observ-
|ng the "Aha" moment when a ch||d makes a
d|scovery or catches on to new |earn|ng. She
cher|shes the|r sm||es and says they "keep me on
my toes."
1o budd|ng teachers, she says "Do |t because |t |s
your pass|on!"
