This is our 2023 Grant-in-Aid winner, Madeline Tubbs.  Among her many accomplishments is the winning of the Girl Scouts Gold award.  Her project for that was an educational website, ​https://www.lets-bee-friendly.com/.  She is a bee-keeper as well!  Here is what she says on the website:
Let's Bee Friendly
Hello! In December 2022, I earned the Girl Scout Gold Award for my project Let's BEE Friendly. This website is a part of that project. If you want to learn about honey bees, why they are important, and how you can help them- you are in the right place!

Theresa Messineo, Emily Blumberg, Andrea Ritacco, Gina DiMaggio, and Laura Perrius
We also inducted our next two members, Emily Blumberg and Andrea Ritacco.  Andrea is a Business Education teacher at Whippany Park High School and was named the Morris County Teacher of the Year.  

Emily is the Passaic County Teacher of the Year.  She is a science teacher at Passaic Preparatory Academy. As the first female physics teacher at the academy, her goal is to make science more inclusive. We were so glad Emily could attend the meeting, since she has a seven week old baby girl!

The Bergen County Teacher of the Year, Gina DiMaggio, has taught English at all levels at Lyndhurst High School. She was inducted into Alpha Chapter at the DKGNJ convention in March.

We also recognized and congratulated Laura Perrius, who was our Key Award winner this year.  The awards were made at the DKGNJ State convention in March.  Congratualtions, Laura! 

Among all of the reports and announcements was the information that Chapter Dues are now $80 for active members and $40 for those who have been approved as reserve members.  Dues need to be to Cathy Cleenput by June 15, 2023.  You can pay online here or snail mail the check payable to Alpha Chapter DKG to her at her address in the directory.
