candidates for National President

[Senusret I]

[Professor]

Did anyone receive an official notification. My line brother received an e-mail saying XYZ is the winner but I have not received anything. However, I did receive a call saying many ballots were not counted because they were not submitted by the deadline.

[Professor]

Sorry Brothers - could not view the last page for some reason but now I see it. I hope to see many of you in Atlanta.

retooling intake, retaining membership, lowering the cost of conventions

Mason that has not been happening but should be, or has been happening but shouldn't? (that last question probably is a little stickier).

that would be splendiferous. (not that the others wouldn't be, too). I would like to see a 'sliding scale' or per-diem rate (max. 3 days) for partial registration, for the brothers (like myself in '06) who could only make part of the week (2-3 days) and therefore didn't/don't consider it fair or worthwhile to pay a silverback sized sum of money for a chimp's worth of participation. I realize that if this was put in place, a lot of people might not go for the whole week, but it would be more honest and might actually boost overall registration, since you might have brothers who wouldn't ordinarily go that could come at the reduced rate (particularly undergrads, people who own their own businesses, and/or other folks who just can't get away).

If you knew what I know, you'd save the money and go see Skip instead.

DC will be INSANE.

[Phrozen1ne]

I bet it will be! Folks will be swarming DC.

[Phrozen1ne]

I am going to need details on the General President inauguration, since I didn't get a chance to go. I will just live through your experience.
