Willemssen Reception
A reception was held Saturday September 12th, to honor our National Grand President and Alpha Phi alumnus, Cal Willemssen and his wife Lynne, from 12:00 to 2:00pm at the chapter house. A pulled pork dinner was served. We had a good turn out and all the alumni that came had a great time getting to see old friends. Brad Garrison the Director of Development from the national office was able to join us in this celebration.
Alumni Newsletter
Previously the last time the Alumni published a newsletter was in 1970. With the Alumni President John Wiese spearheading it we are working to improve communication to all of our alumni, and one of those ways is the plan to mail out a semi annual newsletter to all of the alumni. We mailed the first one out at the beginning of August and there will be a second one coming later this fall.
