Webinar
COMBATING A PANDEMIC OF MISINFORMATION: Teaching Media Literacy
CTAUN is pleased to announce our first online event - a discussion about the way we receive and share information, and how we can help our students - and ourselves - to tell fact from fiction
In this age of Covid-19, the rapid spread of misinformation may be as dangerous as the virus itself. We will examine why people believe and spread misinformation, and we have invited media professionals to offer techniques and resources that help students and educators recognize "red flags"of misinformation ("fake news").
We will direct special attention to Social Media. We will hear from UN Communications experts about special initiatives underway to stem the spread of misinformation, and how educators and students can participate in this effort.
Please mark the date on your calendar. Registration will open next week and will also be posted on our website. There will be NO CHARGE for this event.
A second webinar "United Nations and Indigenous People" is planned for January. Details will be posted on the CTAUN website.
If you would like to revisit - or see for the first time - CTAUN's 28 February 2020 Conference at the UN, go to http://webtv.un.org/ - and enter CTAUN in the Search Box at the top. That will lead you to both Parts I and II of our conference "War No More" with its renowned speakers. And of course you can find summaries of past conferences, along with Teacher Resources and other information on the CTAUN website. www.teachun.org

Message from our State President
July 14, 2020
Dear Sisters,
What a week!
I thoroughly enjoyed attending the 2020 DKG Virtual Event in the comfort of my home. It is not every day that we are blessed to be the recipients of so many carefully planned events and activities -- free of charge.
If your schedule did not allow you to participate in the virtual event and partake of the information and activities so carefully and professionally planned by our international organization . . . all is not lost.
During the next year we can attend these special offerings by virtually joining in and gleaning the information presented during the virtual event week. Yes. With just a click of your cursor, we can experience the 2020 Virtual Event on our computer or phone. Enjoy!
Many thanks to all for continuing to communicate with our chapter members on a regular basis.
Know, as your President, I do miss our personal interactions and that I look forward to the time when we will again meet face-to-face. In the meantime, please stay well and safe during these uncertain and difficult times in our history.
Be blessed,
President Lorraine Johnson

Dear Sisters:
I am hopeful that you, your family, and loved ones are well and following the recommended
guidelines by those in leadership positions.
Sadly, our nation is in a health crisis. And, unfortunately, many of our members fall into the
major high-risk category.
So reluctantly, it has become necessary to protect our membership by cancelling the 2020
Leadership Development Conference.
I will send more information as I converse with the Executive Committee.
Again, please follow the instructions of Governor Hogan and the Center for Disease Control
(CDC) in order to protect your health and that of your loved ones.
Stay healthy.
Until we meet again.
Your DKG Maryland State President,
Lorraine W. Johnson
