More information on the Easton Event. As you prepare for your
pilgrimage, remember to arrange cell phone numbers, meeting places if
you get separated from travel companions and get plenty of sleep
before you come and on Friday night. Don't forget your cameras, your
pledge manual so you can recognize fraternity dignitaries and/or have
them autograph it and your chapter photos to show people your events
and service projects.
If you have not already registered, please do so as soon as possible
to reserve a place at the Easton Event, the 75th anniversary
pilgrimage to LaFayette College. Join 250 of your closest APO
brothers, friends and guests to celebrate 75 years of leadership
friendship and service. Vegetarians and others with special dietary
needs, please contact me to arrange special meals. Please also feel
free to email me if you are concerned about campus accessibility (not
all buildings are wheelchair accessible - we will plan to assist
brothers and guests for full participation).
Registrants should receive a schedule, campus map and letter. The
campus map is also on the web site www.lafayette.edu. There is
on-street parking around the edges of campus and we plan to post large
yellow signs which say "APO event" directing you where to go for check
in and overnight parking. The first official event is the Walk in the
footsteps of our founder on Friday evening at 7pm. The board of
directors will be meeting in Philadelphia during the day on Friday at
the Mariott Hotel.
