•	Terri Sullivan Named New Century Scholar
At the American Association for Community Colleges annual conference held last week in Phoenix, AZ, Terri Sullivan was named a New Century Scholar. This is a great honor as Terri represents Oregon for her scholastic and leadership achievements. 
•	2009-10 Chapter Officer Elections
We are currently looking for chapter officers for next academic year. Benefits of being an officer include organizing campus and community projects, learning leadership skills, and making positive improvements within the chapter and the region. Applications are at http://www.lanecc.edu/ptk/Officer%20Application.rtf 
Applications are due no later than the May 4 chapter meeting, and candidates are encouraged to speak to the general membership. Elections will be held following the candidate presentations.
If you have questions, please ask Velda.
•	Regional Conference
The regional conference will be hosted by Clackamas CC on May 1-3. At the conference, chapters will be voting on regional officers. This is an excellent opportunity for you. If you will be enrolled at Lane through the academic year, consider running. The leadership trainings and experience with the regional team will be very helpful. 
Our hope is to have at least two positions held by Lane students. Contact Velda if you are interested in attending the conference or in running for a regional position.
Information about the officer’s duties is on the regional web site:  www.rmcptk.org

Our next movie discussion will be on Monday, April 27, at 4 p.m. We will be watching Million Dollar Baby and discussing affluence as it relates to health issues. Please bring snacks to share and your own beverage.
•	91st International Convention
Three chapter members, one alumni, and the advisor will be attending the International Convention in Grapevine, Texas from April 15-18, 2009. The first Honors in Action Academy will be held on Wednesday, April 15, and it will be a large effort to help beautify Grapevine. The project was Dee Lauzon’s idea, and we are very excited to participate. 
Photos of the convention will be posted the following week on the chapter’s web site. Please view them. 
•	30th Avenue Cleanup
The next road cleanup will be Saturday, May 16. As usual, we will meet at 9 a.m. in Lot N.  After the cleanup we will meet in Building 2 for a potluck (an optional activity). In case you did not know, 30th Avenue is a main route for south Eugene residents to the dump. We find many interesting items along the highway. 
Pictures of some of the items may be seen on our chapter’s Web site at www.lanecc.edu/ptk. Also, please notice the bulbs blooming at the entrances to campus. Over the last two years, Sigma Zeta planted those.
•	Spring Wellness Fair
As we are continuing our research on the Paradox of Wellness, the committees are learning many things. Our research will be presented at the Spring Wellness Fair on Tuesday, May 12. Local organizations will also be available to share their knowledge and services with Lane students. 
•	Formal Induction
The formal spring induction will be at 4 p.m. on Monday, June 1 in the Board room. It is a formal induction as this is when our chapter installs new officers for the year. Any member who has not been inducted may participate. Family and friends are encouraged to attend.
