ALPHA DELTA KAPPA DECEMBER 2010 - Gedung Kuning

Stars Reflecting
Excellence
International President Jane
Miller’s Address to the 2010
Regional Conferences
It is my sincere pleasure to
be with you as we are sharing
“Reflections of Excellence” in
the seven regions of Alpha Delta
Kappa, and tonight we share
reflections from the stars. Many
individuals have stars named for
them. Some of you may be able
to set the axis of your telescope
and at a specific alignment, view
your star. I would like to name
a star for each member of Alpha
Delta Kappa, and then when I
gaze into a star-studded sky, I
could reflect on your endearing
qualities. One of my favorite
quotes is, “good friends are like
stars—you don’t always see them,
but you know they are there.”
This awareness prevails among
Alpha Delta Kappa members.
Vincent van Gogh once stated,
“For my part I know nothing
with certainty, but the sight
of the stars makes me dream.
When we ponder the stars, when
we reach for our dreams, we
are never bothered by how far
away they seem. Instead, we
are inspired by the beauty of our
vision. Dreams are like stars—
brilliant and permanent.”

Stellar “Reflections of
Excellence” have been observed
among the membership in each
of our seven regions during the
conferences. “In a sky full of
stars, there are always some that
shine a little brighter.” My dear
sisters of each region, you shine
brighter than our brightest star
in my heart.
