Being a graphics-oriented kinda guy, I'd have to question the validity of the .pdf. A few things stick out...

*There's no C&C appearing anywhere. Our IHQ has consistently used this symbol for years.

*While the color scheme checks out, the C of A appearing below the copy's washed out and not terribly distinguishable.

*There are various GLO's that go by, "The Fraternity of...". We're not one of 'em.

*The "phone number" is actually the primary fax number @ 8741. In addition, the "fax number" hasn't got a "-" to separate the prefix & suffix portions of the number. It's also not an IHQ #.

*You KNOW that somebody would've had their signature & name on this thing, either from the EF or GHZ.

Given the timing of this missive, I'd guess we're being April Fooled. Then again, who knows? However, if you're able to help out the EF by making such a donation, please do.

In my dealings w/other GLO IHQ's, I can vouch for the "de-centralization/regionalization" spoken of in the 4th paragraph. These organizations have a small office staff (sometimes using an office suite as IHQ, rather than a whole building). They also place a large degree of responsibility w/non-paid alums ("region directors" or "regents").

This is a critical time for all of us who bleed purple, green & gold. I have a feeling that the discussion of our financial picture will be held in a larger meeting room @ the Wyndham/Disney in July.
