LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT


Dear Tri Delta Sisters, 

With the weather cooling off, it is a great time to get out and join us for some of our upcoming events. From Fall Fiesta to lunches, dinners, book clubs, and movies, we have something for everyone and every schedule. Cookies & Castles is open for registration. We hope you will all attend and plan to volunteer in this extremely fun and important event. 

Founder's Day is Nov. 6 and we are honored to recognize our 2022 award winners: Erin McCarthy Higgins for the Pearl Award, Brenda Bailey Latman for the Pansy Award, and Katherine Perot Reeves for the Pine Award. The 2022 Cookies & Castles Exceptional Volunteer Award winner is Shawn Dunn Blagowsky. Please join us at Royal Oaks Country Club at 2PM to honor these exceptional women for all their years of service to Tri Delta.

A special thanks to the 2022 Dallas Alumnae Board of Directors and Committee Members that make the year so informative and fun. There are too many to list here, but you can see the whole list at dallasdeltas.com in the members only section.


Delta Love,

Patti Ellis Winstanley (Mississippi)

2022-2024 President, Dallas Alumnae Chapter of Tri Delta

LAST DAY for our Refer-A-Delta Program

Do you know any Deltas that have recently relocated to the Dallas area? Sisters who are Dallas locals, but aren't yet involved with our alumnae chapter? We want to include all local Deltas in our alumnae community!


Members who Refer-A-Delta will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 NorthPark Gold Gift Card. Each referral is a separate entry. The prize drawing will take place TOMORROW at our Fall Fiesta!  You do not have to be present to win.


There are two ways to Refer-A-Delta:

Send an email to dallasdeltas.welcome@gmail.com with the name and contact info (if you have it) of the sister you are referring. Our welcoming committee will take it from there!


Reach out to the sister yourself! Just email us the name of the sister(s) you reached out to and we will include you in the drawing. 


Our 2022-2023 calendar year begins June 1, 2022 and ends May 31, 2023. The deadline to register as a member is October 15 to be included in the directory. If you have any questions, please reach out to dallasdeltas.membership@gmail.com.
