Founders' Day Weekend Schedule

[via Cory Atkins ('01): cla348@umkc.edu]

Kappa Epsilon,

Here is the last reminder you'll get from me about Founders Day- though I suspect Ferd, Tucker, or Andy will drop a note in your inbox sometime next week.

At the bottom of this message is the schedule for Founders Day, nothing has changed.

I have heard from about 15-20 guys about dinner, and it would be nice to get a more definite number (there are 300+ alumni). I spoke with chapter president Tim Opitz last week and the entire chapter, plus pledges, plus dates will be attending the dinner. This is going to be a great opportunity to meet the chapter. Fr. Curran will be there as well.

Last week I received an email from Aaron McDonald and you may or may not know him - but his email reminded me of how great it is to be a Pike and how much Pike has changed the course of my life - from small things as meeting for happy hour to things as big as networking for careers or help with family emergencies. We really are an elite group of men! Unfortunately as we get older and take on careers and families our time dwindles and we loose contact with some of these people. My point is that we all have people who have really influenced us through our connection with Pike. For me those people (to include a few) are: Andy Axsom, Mike Watts, and Kyle Huelsing. I will be contacting each of these people this week reminding them about Founders Day and just generally catching up with them - because for some its been way too long. I would encourage every one to do the same - call or email your big brother or the people who made a great impact on your Pike experience and reconnect with them (and remind them about Founders Day).

Founders Day is going to be great and to steal a line from Brother Matt Nickson - "It's a great time to be a Pike."

PPKA,
Cory
