PRESIDENT

Any of your possessions from either Boston Marathon or Relay for Life that you
didn’t get back yet are in the closet in the office. Feel free to grab them at
your convenience.

Since we are a brotherhood, it is important to treat ALL BROTHERS fairly and
with respect, as if they are part of your family (we are a brotherhood after
all).

SVP

“Loaves for Love” is this Thursday, April 30th at 8:00 p.m. at the Chabad House
is Southwest. If you’re interested and didn’t sign up at the meeting, contact
Jacob ASAP, as he needs a head count to know how much dough to have prepared.

Fil-a-bus will occur during Finals week(s). Elizabeth will send out a form for
days of your availability to volunteer.

Emily has started to receive donations for her washcloth project. It is likely
that we will continue to collect donations throughout the remainder of the
semester and over the summer, and fully begin assembling and distributing the
kits upon commencing the Fall 2009 semester. There will be a thank-you card in
the office this week; please you’re your appreciation to those organizations
that have already donated supplies by signing the card.

ALL BROTHERS MUST have their twenty (20) hours of service completed by Saturday,
May 2nd (at Cabin).

MVP

Pledges’ books are now handed in to Erin. Congrats to you all for your hard work
this semester! However, just because you are done with your requirements and
your books are done, DOES NOT mean you should stop attending events. THE
SERVICE DOES NOT STOP!!

Cabin will start Friday night; let Erin know what day (Friday/Saturday) you plan
on showing up. All should be there by 9:30 a.m. on Saturday to begin our service
project for the day.

to the Southwest Beach for a 10:00 p.m. showing of Animal House, as part of
Southwest week. It is free.

OLD BUSINESS

All nominations for awards are due by 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday. There is an
envelope in one of the mailboxes in the upper right row in the office that you
can put your nominations in. There are no official forms, due to our printer,
so please include the following on your choice of paper: Your name, the name of
the person you are nominating, the award you are nominating the person for, and
the reason you are nominating the person. Reasons should be more than “this
person is awesome and does a lot of service” Anyone, (this includes pledges) can
nominate anyone for an award. Please respect the honor system, and your fellow
brothers/pledges, and don’t look at other nominations in the envelope.
