President's Message
Dear Sisters,
At the beginning of July 2026, the term for the newly elected officers and executive committee members began. It is with great excitement that Barb Dolan has stepped up as President, Linda Wood as 1st Vice President, and Pam Martin as 2nd Vice President. This is the first time in many years that we have a full slate of officers. Again, thank you to Pam Richmann Recording Secretary, Dianne Cross as Corresponding Secretary and Annie Zahradnik as Treasurer. In addition to the Executive Board, we have great leadership in our committee leaders. Our Chapter is in good hands!
As their term begins and the 2024-26 term ends, I want to take this time as past President for the Gamma Theta Chapter to give a huge “THANK YOU” to everyone that made the four years serving as President of this organization a success. The former Executive Board was outstanding, bringing enthusiasm and excitement to the Board Meetings. Our membership remained steady with members willingly lending their hands to make our meetings and events successful. Remember it is because of the members that our Chapter is successful.
We also need to give a shout out to the following ladies that have taken their talents a step further and are serving at the State level either on the ADSOEF Board as a Director or Non-Director or on the OHSO Board:
Sally Rogus- OHSO State Membership Committee Member
Annie Zahradnik- ADSOEF Director, Fund-Raising Committee Member and Finance Committee
Barb Dolan- ADSOEF Non-Director member of the Fund-Raising Committee
Carol Vargo- ADSOEF-Non-Director member of the Educational Service Committee
Hannah Fairbanks-ADSOEF Director and member of the Nominating Committee and Finance Committee as well as a member of the OHSO Personnel Committee
Again, with many hands, make light work. Please lend your services to Barb and the Executive Board so that our Gamma Theta Chapter can only get better! Read and post the calendar of events. (See the last page.) Attend meetings. Find ways to extend your hand to present classroom teachers. Remember it’s our year hosting Tri-Chapter. Having Danita Harris as speaker is wonderful news!
We hope to see you all at the Kick-Off Meeting September 8th at Stonegait Winery!
Sincerely,
Hannah Fairbanks-Past President
Barb Dolan-President- 2026-28
