General Assembly 2006

[EM1843]

I look forward to meeting you. I won't be staying at the hotel, but I'll be around almost all the time.

Any comments on the bills up for vote at GA this summer? You can find them at http://www.lambdachi.org/conferences...veworkbook.pdf

Something that stood out to me was Bill 12, the elimination of the "eight semester rule". This rule allows brothers to elect to alumni status after 8 full dues-paying semesters as an active. The justification for this was that with more students staying five years in college more of these guys are hanging out with the actives without the liability insurance protections of dues-paying actives.

In my opinion, this seems to be another way for nationals to raise more money from the brothers. Just because alumni are active in the chapter's activities doesn't mean actives should be forced to stay in a failing chapter or one that has lost respect for the values it was founded on.

But that's my opinion, what about everyone else?

Greetings from rainy Orlando--we had a pretty good downpour about an hour ago. So far, no GCers have show up--most alums will arrive this evening, I hear.

RE: our photo op, I'm picking up Mrs. Boz @ the airport around 11:30 Saturday morning. As Tina from IHQ has pointed out to me, that means I'll miss the luncheon when all of the winners are announced (scholarship, alumni communications, etc.). All may be fair in love and war, but there's no way I'm not gonna be there to p/u my bride.

The reason I note the timing is that, as I recall, we've gotten the photo shot after lunch on Saturday. If y'all want to go w/that time frame, groovy--however, I won't be back until sometime after 1PM since we're not staying @ the Buena Vista Palace. Let's try to nail down an actual time pronto--

In ZAX (and Kissimmee),
