Brother Lynn, as A Brother and I hope a good friend of yours, I will defer to your explanation as being better and more knowledgeable than most of us.

No, we are not "beer monkeys", I never heard that before, LOL.

We are trying to be more followers of ideals that were set out at the very beginning of LXA and even more so with the merger of LXA and TKN.

I think a lot of feelings stem from the fact of ignoring Alumni except for getting donations that you and I have discussed before.

We as Alumni have gotten promises before and are still waiting. Granted it does move slowly with amount of people who have to be contacted and included in all of the proposals that have been introduced over the years that I have been inolved as a Brother of LXA.

We are not the "Grand Knighthood", but young men who continually come to LXA for a reason for what we professed from time one.

We have our ups and downs, but we as Alumni would like to see more ups for a change instead of the downs. Whether this new program will change things, I cannot say. Whether it changes things for the Alumni, I have no clue.

I only know that the Brothers who post on this site and others do so for a reason, not to argue, but discuss our feelings.

While I have had good relations with IHQ, others have not and no one can deny their feelings or mine.

But, one of my main worries has been and will always be the fact that when some Brothers graduate, they are lost and gone from us and LXA.

So if this Program is instituted, is this supposed to help in the future alone? Can it or will it help for those in the past that ahvfe been lost?

Maybe Yes, maybe No.

I guess time will tell is all I can say.

Dever, when you read all of the info, please let me know and lets discuss it.

In ZAX,
