Registration and Hotel Room Reminder

Brothers,

This is just a reminder that the deadline for registering for National Convention at the reduced rate is tomorrow, November 15^th. After tomorrow the price for Active registration rate goes from 65 dollars to 85 dollars, so be sure to register by tomorrow to receive the reduced rate.

Additionally, the hotel will only be holding rooms for the National Convention until November 26^th. After this date, the block of hotel rooms that have been reserved for National Convention will be released to the general public. If you register for a hotel room after this date you will still be able to get the convention rate of 69 dollars per night plus tax, but there is no guarantee that hotel rooms will remain after this date. This information is especially important to consider to those who are planning on staying through New Year’s. So remember to book your hotel room as soon as possible to ensure that you will be able to stay in the Galt House with all of your brothers.

As always if you have any questions regarding anything involving convention please send an e-mail to sgoldman@alumni.purdue.edu.

See you all in a few weeks at convention!

In Leadership, Friendship, and Service,

Events at Convention

Hi everyone! I just wanted to fill you on some exciting details about the events at convention. First we are having an APO Carnival on the 27th. This is a place where you can buy carnival type foods and enjoy carnival games. At the APO Carnival, we are giving you an opprtunity to socialize with other brothers, a chance to play games, and time to sign up for different projects going on throughout the convention.

Opening ceremonies will be a great way to kickoff convention. There will be a fireworks display, activation ceremony, and time for role call. So bring all your brothers and check out all the chapter's role calls and the president's state of the fraternity.

The fellowhip banquet will be a time to hang out in the ball field. With this baseball themed banquet, we will be having 9 innings of fun. Come dressed in your best baseball outfit and take a swing at the night's festivities with an all star line-up at the plate.

We have thirteen socials at convention. From a fitness class every morning to karoke and games at night. We have a time to meet your brothers with speed fellowship and a time to relax with brothers and watch movies. We even have a chance to crash a wedding that will be happening on December 29th.

Close your convention experience with a night at the races. Join all your brothers for some derby action on the track. There will be good food, great speakers, and a night of awards in the winners circle.
