Melody Wade, Eta Rho, Derby gave an educational this year on infant CPR and choking relief techniques. The Infant CPR Anytime Personal Learning Program is a self-directed learning product that allows families, friends, grandparents, childcare providers, and others caring for infants to learn the care skills of infant CPR and relief of choking techniques in just 22 minutes.   After giving demonstrations, each member was able to practice the techniques on the inflatable mimi-baby.   Pictured to the left is Sherry Marlow taking her turn at the practice. Each member was given a reference guide to take home. This was an excellent hands-on program.   Many Eta Rho members have infants in their care.

KANSAS EDUCATIONAL LIBRARY

The Kansas Educational Library was established by Debbie Davis, the 1987 Kansas State Educational Director. The purpose of the Library is to preserve and share educational programs. Any chapter may contribute and use the library.

The programs contained in the library are available at no cost to any chapter desiring to use them. The chapter using the program need to update the materials in order that current information is given. These updates would be most welcome so please send them to the webmaster for posting.

Any chapter may submit programs to the Library. The programs must be well written, typed and should contain a bibliography. The report should not be written on the report form!! Please include the NAME OF THE PERSON who wrote the program or NAME OF PERSON contributing the program, CHAPTER NAME, and TOWN on the program; this way each chapter will be given due credit. It is hoped that the Library will grow and be used by all chapters.

The following is a list of programs currently available:

ASTROLOGY
  • "Constellation Legends" - Karen Stinson, Delta Delta, Ulysses--Greek/Roman myths surrounding stars and star pictures.
  • "Moon Moods"- Ellen Chalk, Zeta Phi, Junction City--Recap of studies concerning lunar influence in everyday life.

  • "Women and Alcohol" - Linda Schmidt, Zeta Epsilon, Overland Park--A report on how women can get help with alcohol dependency
WOMEN

Library Continued: 

"In ancient days, when students from many lands first sat at the feet of philosophers, they were able to meet on a common ground by speaking the classic language of learning - "Greek". It is fitting therefore that we should have chosen the Greek alphabet and our three watch words from the Greek language. Epsilon Sigma Alpha, translated freely, means "Pursuit of Learning."

"Our members often say the letters ESA stand for Education, Service, and Association. Each member is encouraged to participate in a balanced program of activities focusing on all three aspects of the Epsilon Sigma Alpha experience. Most chapters work to develop a common program for the year; however, members who do not belong to a chapter can also participate by using web site resources, leadership training sessions and state, multi-state and International Council events."
