Second trip to The Pitt in a week!
Had an Alumni Advisory Board Meeting today, but other Alums showed up as usual. ELC Jason Holt held the meeting to give us some ideas and get feed back from us.
He said He and Josh Lodolo were extremely pleased with the turnout of Alums and what We have actually accomplished while they were there. First, I must give thanks to these two fine Young ELCs and Members of LXA!
After a two hour jaw session, we adjourned to the New House. While still under construction, thank goodness there was heat in the house. Chef Sparky Narrell stayed to do the BBQ cooking freezing his rear off.
We had @ 20 Alums from all over who came in and a huge surprise was in store for us.
@ 20 Actives from Drury, Springfield, Mo. and 3-4 from Kansas State came down. No small road trip for sure!
Drury will do the Ritual in April,7-8 weekend. Jason said the Brothers from Kansas State were upset as they wanted to do it too.
(Drury Colonized LX Z in 1966 and Kansas State Chartered us in 1969). Brothers from both will be down for Ritual and cannot wait. Drury invited the New Associates to Springfield for Sat. Night and Jason was taking them over. What a great chance for Our New Guys to see what an outstanding Chapter is really like.
At present, we now have 18 New Associates with more to be Associated Sunday at the meeting. That will bring us to @ 25 and not totally done yet.
The electricity is still in the air and growing. Alums who have not been around are now on the Alumi Advisory Board, more and more will become more active once again.
To be truthful, if not for the change in Leadership of LXA and thinking, We would have been closed. As I was told , this was unprecident in LXA History and every effort was being done to Rejuvinate Lambda Chi Zeta. We are maybe The First real test case, but hopefully not the last!
One funny incident that happened, was as We all know is a Cell Phone ringing in a meeting and guess whose did? Jason Holts! I asked Him is that Your phone buzzing, oh it is.
None other than Brother "Biff" Holloway was calling and He was put on speaker. Heck, I didnt even know that those pesky things could do that! Everyone yelled Hi Biff!
Well all from LX Zeta Update for now!
Looking forward to April 7-8 weekend.
Any Brothers in the area who see this are welcome, just let Me know.
Ritual will be Sat. and a Founders Day Dinner and Auction will be held.
IN ZAX,
