Lambda Pi Brothers of 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s & 90s:
Great News! Your BOG has your Lambda Pi Alumni Association in GREAT financial shape! They have paid off the house, and the rental income from the house continues to grow the Association's account.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Your BOG has decided to throw a huge reunion party in Chico the first weekend in May to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Lambda Pi's founding at Chico State in 1944.
Many alumni feel this event will be an important reunion as we are all unfortunately getting older and we have lost a number of great brothers recently. Therefore we need to get together sooner rather than later and share our Lambda Pi memories.
So mark your calendar to be in Chico May 2-3, 2014, as we will have golfing, brotherhood, memories, and a huge reunion party at the Butte Creek Country Club.
NOTE: The BOG has designated the first Saturday in EVERY May as the date for our annual Alumni meeting and reunion (note that is mysteriously coincides witth the weekend Pioneer Week was held every year). So also mark your calendar to be in Chico the first Saturday of EVERY May. You can even mark it in your Outlook calendar as a reoccuring event every first Saturday in May.
AGENDA:
- Friday, May 2, 2014
- 1:00 PM: Golf Tournament at Butte Creek Country Club ($70 includes cart)
- 6:00 PM: Traditional Beer and Burgers at The Oasis Bar & Grill
