Gamma's 80th Birthday!
Hello fellow brothers!

As you may or may not know, Gamma chapter, the longest continually running chapter in APO, is celebrating it’s 80th anniversary and we would love it if you could join us for this celebration!

***THE EVENTS LISTED WILL BE ON SATURDAY, APRIL 21ST!*** Sorry I forgot to mention this the first time I posted, showing how silly I can be....

Here is a list of some of the events we will be having throughout the weekend that we would love to see you guys at!

Speaker Event

This event will be at Kauffman Auditorium in Goldwin Smith, and the tentative schedule is as follows:

2:45 Introduction
3:00 Speaker 1
3:20 Speaker 2
3:40 Speaker 3
4:00 Q&A
4:20 Networking (mingling)

This event will be open to the Cornell public, and the topic will be how leadership skills and other skills that are not directly related to school come into play in the real world. For speakers, we will be having some of our very own alumni : )

Formal Dinner

The banquet will be held at Ramada Inn, and the schedule is as follows:

6:30pm: Guests start to arrive, and the bar is open.

7pm: The food is served. (Dinner buffet: Fruit salad, Cucumber dill salad, Tossed spinach salad, Green beans almondine, Oven roasted potatoes, Chicken marsala, Top sirloin fillets and a vegan dish)

9:30pm Closing of the event (and the bar closes.)

While the speaker event is free, the cost of attending the dinner will be $35 per person, and there will be a cash bar as well!

We’re also looking into having some big name speakers come, but I’ll leave who as a surprise, at least until we get confirmations ; )

If you would like to attend, please RSVP to the event as soon as possible, and send checks (for if you attend the dinner) to Box 26 Willard Straight Hall; Cornell University; Ithaca, NY 14853 by March 20. When you are writing the check, please specify that it's for the formal dinner (since we’re also offering baby sitting services for our alumns and staff so this will help us keep track). Also please RSVP to Jess Park, jp357@cornell.edu, with what chapter you’re from and specify whether you are a brother, pledge, or staff (we want to keep track of who’s who ; ) ) and your contact info!

Thank you for reading this post, and I hope many of you can join us in our celebration! It’s going to be a lot of fun and, as I get more info, I’ll relay it to you ; )

In LFS,

Johanna
