On 17 NOV 07 at noon, the Spiders will play William and Mary for the true championship of the Commonwealth. We will secure some tailgate spots and have already received clearance from the University and the Undergrads for an ALUMNI EVENT at the lodge following the game (roughly 4 PM). This will be a family-friendly affair, so feel free to bring the crew. We are extremely interested in knowing who may want to be part of this event in order to plan the logistics. Local alumni will coordinate the catering and beverages and to cover the expenses will collect a relatively nominal per-head fee at the event. Any funds collected that exceed the costs of the event will be put into the alumni board's account for management of the chapter. More details to follow, but at your earliest convenience k indly express interest by replying to this e-mail if you are planning to attend so that we may plan accordingly.
The alumni board is also looking for volunteers (ideally one from each graduating year) to help disseminate, and contribute to, an alumni e-mail newsletter. Not a big deal or a burden to any individual, but anyone who can help us assemble the requisite e-mail addresses for each class would be rewarded by Richard Spurgeon Owens in heaven. We are very interested in having a greater level of communication and participation in alumni events by brothers. Information is available on www.sigeprichmond.org and my lame-ass blog at www.spebros.blogspot.com Posts at the blog are very welcome, as long as they do not offend Jim Monroe. If interested in volunteering just let me know via e-mail.
In addition to trying to provide some events worthy of fraternal reunion, we want to try to help get brothers in touch with distant friends. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please call or e-mail with any questions, concerns, or points of personal interest. Finally, if you are in touch w/ any brothers who are not on the address list for this e-mail, please forward to them with a "cc" to me.
HFF,
