LX Z, Pierce Stock 2005:

Annual gathering at One of the Brothers House with a lot of land!!!!


Had a fantastic turn out, a Brother # 104 was there, snagged His email addy!

Food galore brought by the wives and fiances, ooom, good.

Alum Band, (ROX TARS) say it fast, did outstanding job!!!

Played My Two Fav Songs, Looie-Looie and Black Magic women while throwing shoes.

We also have an Alum Golf Tourney yearly and is well attended!

I know there are many others across the Country and LXA Land who do things.

What do you do to keep the Brotherhood Blood pumping?

Our (Georgetown's) Alumni Org has been more active in the past
2 years than it ever has (well, at least in 30 years!).

- We have a lunch in Louisville about every 2 months.
- We had an alum event at Keeneland racetrack in Lexington
(though it was rained out this year)
- We're having our first annual golf tourney in about 3 weeks...
several signed up already
- Alums published their first ever newsletter in February
(done by alums instead of actives)
- Alums established an Educational Endowment Fund for the
active chapter (donations tax deductible!) last year.
- We have an annual "day at the ballpark" in May
(Lexington Legends, local pro minor-league team)
what includes catered food.
- Alums organize Homecoming activities every year along
with actives

We have a great AA president (Bill Beams) as well as
other members of the AA (Alum Assoc) who do alot.
The AA usually meets once a month.

Kevin, glad you mentioned the Minor League Base Ball Game.

We have the T-Bones in Kansas City Ks. I did a thing last year and was a big hit. Not expensive like the Majors.

One of the other Alums picked it up from last year when I did it and had a great turnout.

This can be a Major thing, Costs. Some new Alums feel like they cannot afford a lot, but the idea is to make it available so that as many can come and not feel stopped by money.

We had a lot of Alums still living in the School area who did tail gating at each game and not with the rest of the Alums. I have worked to try to coordinate it so All Alums can and Will be there for Home Comings in the future for a closeness.

The PITT (PSU, Ks) have played for the last 3 Years at Arrowhead Stadium, (Chiefs) and We do a Tailgate and try to tie it in as I started last time for The Food Drive. I had a trunk full for sure + checks.

Had our Golf Tourney again this year and had a great turnout, not for the golf, but just communing with Brothers and Nature. Some Great Prizes were donated and the director did a fantastic job.

Kevin, great ideas, and Give B B My Very Best!

Having a Hold 'em tourney here in August with a few alum friends and work buds, etc....

Still a good way to reconnect.
