Pilgrimage Event! Team Development Workshop! Celebrate the 75th Anniversary!
I'll be happy to take any questions about this event. Yes, there will
be vegetarian or other special meals - please send requests through
the National office so we can be sure to arrange for the kind of meal
you need. We will be staying on the historic LaFayette College campus.
Events kick off Friday evening at 7:30 with a Walk through history
in the founders' footsteps. I have been hard at work researching this
event and I'm looking forward to sharing what I have found with you.
We are putting the final touches on the re-enactment of the first
ritual to take place at Brainard/Hogg Hall (a simulation that we can
share with guests) and I'm especially looking for actors to play/read
for Frank Horton, Ev Probst, Slick Cooley and Dobby Dobson.
Please join us Saturday for the new Team Development Workshop. You
never thought games would be so educational! We will also have lots
of alumni on hand so we are planning an all-active group as well as an
all-alumni group. Dr. Fred Heismeyer, a former board member who is
volunteering his time will be leading trained alumni in giving this
workshop.
At noon, we join the Alpha Phi Omega National Board at a luncheon
celebrating the 75th (included with your registration). This lunch
will include the presentation of a gift from APO to LaFayette as well
as participation from the LaFayette administration. Show your pride
and gratitude to the College that made it possible for us to have the
experience in APO we have today!
In the afternoon, actives from every region in the country will be
presenting their vision of Alpha Phi Omega in the future. What do you
think APO will be like in 25 years? As a national fraternity, in
1975, we were still technically all-male, separated from our
Phillipino brothers and sisters, and based out of a decrepid building
in downtown Kansas City (ok, it wasn't decrepid when we first moved
in). How has APO changed on your campus over the years? What do you
expect it to be like when your children go to college? We can't wait
to find out!
After the presentation, we will have an outdoor barbecue on the campus
of LaFayette. Here's your chance to meet the people behind the faces
in your pledge manual and a few others that make Alpha Phi Omega so
great. Our National Executive Director, Patrick Burke will be on hand
as well as President Jack McKenzie and Vice President John
Wetherington. Meet Kay Krenek, the first woman to serve on the
National Board and Shawn Boyle, the 2000 convention chair. Take
once-in-a-lifetime stories back to your chapter of Pat's midwestern
jokes, Jack's southern charm, John's warm smile, Kay's infectious
laugh and Shawn's insider tips for visiting Philadelphia. Plus meet
brothers from around the country in a forum that will allow you to
bond with people you will see in December at the Convention where
instead of 100 people, you'll see thousands!
So, who could resist this wonderful opportunity? Make plans now to
join us for a wonderful weekend on the hill above Easton on the
Delaware River. Come to LaFayette college for an experience you'll
never forget.
