Hello, members!
What a joy it was to see so many DKG members at the ADSOEF Annual Meeting and the OSO Convention. Thank you to all who participated in the sixth ADSOEF Annual Meeting on April 14, 2023, supported the ticket auction, and contributed so generously during the 85th Birthday Luncheon. Reports of the election, the ticket auction, and the contributions are in this issue of Foundation Matters. Check out the website at adsoef.org for a copy of the Report for Annual Meeting and view the PowerPoint used in the Explore ADSOEF breakout session.
Gratitude is extended to all the dedicated volunteers who served in numerous ways for a successful experience. You made a difference! We appreciate the student teachers and A. Margaret Boyd Fellowship recipients who were able to attend.
Looking forward to seeing many of you at the Biennial Seminar, History in the Hills on June 8, 9, 10. See the links below to register and send your check by May 25.
With heartfelt gratitude,
ADSOEF Directors

And the Winners are….
Certainly, one of the highlights of the 2023 State Convention was the ticket auction sponsored by ADSOEF's Fundraising Committee. The amazing $914.00 profit will be added to the committee's goal of $8,500.00, in honor of the 85th birthday of our state organization. Thanks to everyone that contributed the prizes and to everyone that purchased the tickets (winning or losing) for our super-duper ticket auction.
Here are the twelve lucky winners:
