{IBA Meeting}

This year at the IBA Fall Regional meeting (held the beginning of October in Saratoga Springs, NY), Dad received a 5-star Sales Recognition Award for 2011!!!! We are all SO proud of him!!

With the President of IBA, Dan Belsito

At the Awards Ceremony - this is an IBA blazer that dad received as an award a few years ago.

There are about four other 1-day IBA meetings

held throughout the year,

and mom usually goes with Dad on these trips.

 

The Gideon Putnam Resort where the meeting was held.

Congrats, Dad!

We're really proud of all your hard work!

(It's kind of a joke around here that we always like when mom and dad go to a business meeting, because that means there's "only" 5 people in the house, so we won't need to cook dinner!!

Not that I don't like to cook, but everyone needs a break every now and then!) 

{Phi Theta Kappa}

Phi Theta Kappa is a National Honor Society for 2-year colleges.

Two-year college students who have completed at least 24 credits

and have maintained a GPA of at least 3.5 are eligible for membership.

Less than 1% of all 2-year college students in the U.S. are Phi Theta Kappans.

There are around 900 students at Garrett College and 23 were

inducted in the society this semester,

Kelley being one of the 23!!! 

The induction ceremony took place last Thursday, October 11th.

The words "phi theta kappa" are Greek letters that

 stand for wisdom, aspiration, and purity.

 

We're very proud of you, Kelley!!!
