Hello, members!
We hope you attended the 2023 ADSOEF Annual Meeting last night, April 14! Five new Directors were elected to fill the openings on the Board occurring at the end of June. Committee Chairmen communicated efforts and outcomes in meeting the ADSOEF Mission and Purposes.
The Fundraising Committee made a heartfelt announcement: Many generous hearts opened as you exceeded the goal of raising $8,500.00 for the Open Your Heart for the Future of Education campaign. Definitely, we honored the 85th Birthday of OSO DKG (formerly Alpha Delta State Ohio). Donations continue to be received and are welcome. The 2023 ADSOEF Report for Annual Meeting lists donors and beneficiaries. Find the report on our website, adsoef.org (click here).
The May 15 edition of Foundation Matters will provide an update regarding the meeting, share information about the fun of the ticket auction, and give the donation total from the traditional Birthday Luncheon gifting. Attendees, remember your small red heart reminding you of your Heartfelt Gift for Education!
Join the next EVENT! - “History in the Hills” Biennial Seminar on June 8, 9, &10; find the details and register by using the links below.
With heartfelt gratitude,
ADSOEF Directors

KIND WORDS…
J. Michael Evans, the attorney who represented OSO/ADSOEF for the Jane Brundige Stein case, had the following to say, “It is a rare treat to represent an organization like DKG, and each and every DKG representative who has been a part of this effort. It is even more rare and uplifting to be appreciated by such perfect clients pursuing such an important and laudable goal. In my view, education is the most important goal of all.
P.S. I received a very nice handwritten thank you note. These days, handwritten notes like that are especially nice.”

Project Awards
The Educational Services Committee is happy to announce two new Individual- Classroom-Community Project Awards! They were approved at the March Board of Directors meeting. The Beta Rho Little Free Libraries’ Project, submitted by Marcia Smith, was awarded $500 to purchase used books and painting supplies to stock and maintain four free little libraries in Circleville, which are located at key sites to help people in need: a food pantry, woman and children’s shelter, church, and Head Start.
Secondly, the Inspiration Station Library Project, submitted by JoAnn Krock, Zeta, was granted $500 to purchase new nonfiction books for the Inspiration Station, which is a free afterschool tutoring program focusing on students from the Hispanic community in Norwalk. It provides homework, English literacy, and reading comprehension help. Volunteers also offer speech intervention in the summer and piano lessons!
Thank you to the generous donors who have opened their hearts for the future of education and helped make these grants possible! Look for more details, letters from the recipients, and pictures in future editions of Foundation Matters!
Respectfully submitted,
Chris Snoddy
