History

In Memoriam

The Yett Seminar has its origin in a bequest from the estate of Alleen Yett. Miss Yett was a member of Alpha Chi, serving as president during the 1943-1945 biennium. Upon her death, the Chapter placed the bequest in a savings account and later in CDs. What has evolved is the Yett Seminar -- an enrichment program for members using interest from the CDs.

Originally the seminars were planned by special committees. The first Yett Seminar was held in September, 1987, at the Post Oak Inn in Burnet, with Dr. Barbara DeShong as the guest speaker. In September, 1989, the Seminar was held at the Horseshoe Bay Country Club. In September, 1991, we visited Delta Kappa Gamma International Headquarters in Austin, followed by lunch at Green Pastures and a visit to an art gallery on the UT campus. The 1993 and 1995 Seminars included a meal at the Tropical Hideaway in Granite Shoals with time spent in chapter committee planning for the bienniums. In September, 1997, we relaxed on the Vanishing Texas River Dinner Cruise on Lake Buchanan, accompanied by several spouses as guests.

In 1998 plans for the Yett Seminar were assigned to the Personal Growth and Services Committee. In September, 1999, we traveled to San Antonio where we visited the San Antonio Museum of Art, lunched at the historic Menger Hotel, cruised along the Paseo del Rio and visited the McNay Art Museum on the way home. In September, 2001, we toured and lunched at the Bob Bullock State Museum, followed by a tour of International Headquarters, where we met several International officers and committee members working on programs for the Society. In September, 2003, we toured The LadyBird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, followed by a buffet at Serrano's Restaurant. In September, 2005, we toured the Museum of Western Art and the James Avery Store in Kerrville, with a buffet at the Inn of the Hills. In September, 2007, we toured the Blanton Museum in Austin.
