>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.
