2005 Founders Day Theme
May 17, 2004
Dear Brothers,
The upcoming 2004 Summer Issue of The Shield will feature a great article on our recent nationwide 2004 Founders Day Observances and inaugural theme undertaking which was based upon the success of the 2002- 2003 Sesquicentennial Celebration. Our 2004 theme '' Tribute to America's Greatest Generation'' has received many compliments in which we experienced a huge spike in Founders Day attendance and in the quality and creativity of Phi Kappa Psi Alumni Associations Observances. Among these included the Washington D.C. Alumni Association Arlington National Cemetery Blessing, Beloit Wisconsin AA ''USO Canteen Show'' , and Tucson AA Pima Vintage World War 2 Air Museum reception.
Our Founders Day theme for 2004 was announced at the 2003 summer WWLS in Ames Iowa which allowed many undergraduate chapters and area alumni groups adequate time to organize plans and dates early enough to meet an early Fall Shield submission deadline that would in effect be in the hands of our member readership at the end of the year in time to publicize the February dates....
We have already received many great theme suggestions for the 2005 Founders Day nationwide observances and plan to utilize the summer 2004 San Diego Grand Arch Council and our large ''captive'' undergraduate and alumni Phi Psi audience to announce and maximize a selected theme to initiate good planning and encourage Speakers Bureau keynote participant schedules.
The Executive Council will review an Ad Interim Motion in early June that will include a summary of submitted theme suggestions in which we openly encourage your ideals and suggestions. Please forward your recommendations to Director of Alumni Services Mark Solomon ( mos@Phi Kappa Psi.com) and Director of Alumni Associations Tryon Hubbard (John@jehubbard.com) by May 25, 2004
We look forward to receiving your suggestions!
Fraternally,
Chic...
