Chapter Update from Ryan Lovell OSU Senior Cordinator

This was taken from the a message from OSU on the current status of the Alpha Gamma Chapter, this was sent to Alan Zink
***************************************
Alan,

Thanks for the voicemail and phone call.

I would be happy to put a few quotes in about your chapter.

The chapter currently has 56 members, though this does not include any new
members they have for this winter. I am still awaiting new member cards
from most organizations. I would anticipate the chapter to take at least
10-15 men, as they have done well with recruitment for the past several
years. In Fall 2008, the chapter had a quarterly GPA of 2.78, The chapter maintains a cumulative GPA of 3.02 which ranks above the All-men’s Cumulative GPA on campus (2.97).

The chapter consistently meets the expectations of my office as it relates
to programming, social event management, and attendance at events. Chris
Pletcher, the past chapter president, was one of our seven student
facilitators for our Chapter President’s Leadership Initiative, the retreat
we do for all new chapter presidents. The facilitator selection process is
very competitive.

If you have specific points you want me to comment on, let me know. Again,
sorry for my delay Alan.

-Ryan

Mark Dornfeld -Chili Contest 1/17/09

Friends,

It is that time of year again, I will be entering in the AD Farrows Harley Davidson Chili Contest this Saturday 1/17/09. AD Farrows is on West Broad Street about 1 mile from downtown before Mt. Carmel west hospital. This is the first of 3 contests that they hold with January being Chili, Feb. is soup and March is Stew. I have placed in the last 6 contests and have won the last 5 in a row. This year they will have a panel which will pick the top five ( an obvious effort to thwart my winning ways) but they will still have a fan and dealer favorite. I hope to win all three categories. The event is from 12-2 and it is free but they do take donations and any money raised goes to Children’s hospital. I look forward to seeing many of you there.

Thanks,

Mark

For those of you that have not heard Elizabeth had brain surgery on 10/15/2008 in hopes of stopping her seizures. Since the surgery she has had only 1 post op seizure on 10/19/2008 and has been doing well since then. We have learned a lot about epilepsy and the effects it can cause since her diagnosis at 11 months. We pray our journey continues to improve for Elizabeth and one day soon she can be seizure and medication free! We appreciate everyones’ support over the past years and hope to see you at the Stroll!
