Nu Chapter held the annual Treasured Roses ceremony on Tuesday, April 27, honoring members for their years of service. Michelle Shelly, Leadership Development Chair, and Regina Propst, second vice president, led the ceremony held at Beth Eden Lutheran Church in Newton at the outdoor pavilion.
During the ceremony, the following members were recognized for 15 years of membership: Stephanie Calderon, Shawn Clemons, Marsha Fanning, and Sarah Wallace. Yvonne Hilderbran was recognized for 20 years, and Linda Fisher for 25 years of contributions to Delta Kappa Gamma. Betty Blackburn and Phyllis Parsons were honored for 35 years of dedication to Nu Chapter and DKG.
Each treasured rose was presented with a service pin, certificate, and long-stemmed red rose. We value each of these members for their talents and skills that they bring to Nu Chapter and the Society.
Nu Chapter was excited to recognize our first 50-year treasured roses —Brenda Eckard and Pat Gibson. Their contributions to Nu Chapter, Delta Kappa Gamma, and education in Catawba County are innumerable. To celebrate reaching the 50-year milestone, Brenda and Pat were each honored with a $50 donation to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. We appreciate their dedication to Nu Chapter and the way that they have served as leaders and role models for chapter members.
