A Work Weekend by a Dust Bunny

First of all, it wasn’t a weekend, but two full working days. The Gamma Phi Chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi and the Beta Zeta Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma from Stephen F. Austin State at Nacogdoches, Texas, came up to help.

As a dust bunny, well hidden under a desk (I’m not telling whose!), I have seen “work weekends” come and go. Some

are short, some are long, some are very effective, some are “party-time.”

This one was WORK! After two snow/ice storms, there was five inches of ice on the sidewalk outside. Matt Stuckey and Donny Warner pounded ice into chips for seven hours – they got almost all of it.

And the stampin’ party was LOUD but productive. Angela Penkauskas, John Bobbitt, and Dusty Brown stamped “First Class” and the Headquarters return address on about 1100 envelopes, getting ready for the MidYear and National Convention mailers. Then they stuck mailing labels on all of them.

Holley Floyd typed away updating the Chapter addresses for two days while wood-

work and windows sparkled under Laura Kahn, Jennifer Beard, and Amy Nelson.

Angela Sledge and Suzanne Ray embossed initiate certificates and packaged membership pins. Stephanie Robinson stuffed packets for both the Chapter Field Reps. Casey Johnson photocopied all Fall Activity Reports for the National Councils to review.

These kids bought breakfast the first day, including the Headquarters Staff. Total roundtrip mileage was 1,088 (or so I overheard).

And the most amazing thing is that I’ve seen some of these kids before! A couple were here in January last year and one was on his third trip. I guess I will see some of them next January,

too (unless they vacuum me up!).

A great big dust bunny THANKS to all of them!
