Boutique Treasure Stipend |
Oregon’s Unique Boutique was created by former OSO President Janet Walsh in 2007, with the goal that the profits support Oregon DKG members so that they will “catch DKG fever.” Originally designed to support our members’ participation in regional and international conferences and conventions, over the years it has expanded to include state conferences and conventions as well as international seminars and workshops.
The Boutique is funded from the profits from its sales at OSO-DKG events and online. Additional funding comes from the Gamma Fund—the treasury residue when Gamma Chapter in Eugene/Lane County dissolved on June 23, 2020, as well as contributions from monies donated at OSO conventions/conferences.
The Boutique Treasure Stipend is intended to help partially defray the cost of participating in Oregon State Organization and DKG International activities. The amount awarded varies and depends on the number of applicants and the funds available in the Boutique account. Typical stipends for OSO conferences/conventions have been $100 with DKG International workshops and seminars participants being awarded $500. Sisters wanting additional support should investigate other scholarships in addition to the Boutique Treasure Stipend.
Deadline: 30 days prior to event. Send your application to the Media Sales/Boutique Chair.
