Area VIII Conference Each year we attend the DKG CA Area VIII conference (the photo is from 2018 when we were honored for our charter, 50 years!) where we hear an inspiring speaker and share lunch with members of other chapters in Area VIII.
World Fellowship At the PCPA fundraiser in Solvang each summer we make around $400 for the World Fellowship Committee. It is a fun event for a good cause. We have booked the PCPA Solvang Theater for this summer, 8-7-20, (Something Rotten) for another fundraiser event.
Community Service Projects Jared Boxes, for children in the hospital, is a project we've been doing for many years. The members supply and stuff small boxes full of books, crayons, coloring books, games, puzzles, etc. which are taken to our local hospital and are kept there available to be given to a child who is hospitalized. The hospital staff loves to have these boxes at the ready when a child comes in and those boxes often help the child overcome his or her worries about being there. Our local food bank is the recipient of many boxes of food over the course of the year. We provide books and magazines to the local veterans center, as well.
Annual Convention Each year California DKG, aka Chi State, holds a convention in early May attended by around 500 DKG members from around the state. We hear several great speakers as well as attend interest sessions and hold our annual meeting. It's a great time to network with friends, make new friends, and share ideas that we can take back to our chapters.
