 * APRIL PSI STATE CONVENTION: Beta Nu will receive several awards at this convention!**

 * **Webmaster honored**
 * **Perhaps someone in the chapter will receive a Forward Mover Award or a Shining Star Award!**


 * What is up with the sisters?**
 * President and Vice Presidents attended the February Executive Board Meeting of Psi State in Macon, GA. The new venue hosted by Goodwill Industries was great!
 * Betsy Box, Vice President, just won Starr Miller award for outstanding achievement and leadership for Georgia schools from Georgia Accrediting Commission. She knew Starr Miller and feels very honored to receive the award. Betsy has served on the Georgia Accrediting Commission for 10 years. Betsy is also an advisory board member for Southwest Christian Preschool.
 * Peggy McNash, President, is staying very busy in her 36th year of teaching and in participating in the E. E. Ford Foundation's Brain and Learning Cohort, facilitated by the Center for Learning at Westminster Schools. Her capstone presentation is coming up in May. Her research question is "will direct instruction and practice of guided breathing and of the benefits of growth mindset improve the focus, time on-task, and completion rate for a class of challenged writers?"
 * Carol Speir, Sunshine Chair, is having some difficulty with her vision even after surgery. She may be facing more surgery. Be sure to give her a call or send her a card. She will most likely miss the March meeting.
 * Maureen Wheeler regrets that she has had to miss so many meetings this year; professional and family issues kept her away, but she hopes to be back "with a vengeance" in the fall.
 * Jane K was not out of town at March meeting; she had just returned from Australia, however, and was not quite up and about due to jet lag. Jane and Wayne left the same week to follow Baylor's women's basketball team in the NCAA tournaments.
 * Replace me, sister!
