He will be talking about HR 3371 BUT it is not gonna just be the normal talk, he is gonna talk about how he doesn't see it passing congress but that the FAA has issued an NPRM dealing with the issues of HR 3371. He is also gonna be talking about his duties as his flight school and airport in Allegan and his position in NAFI (National Association of Flight Instructors) and the state of the industry as he knows it. This is gonna be very informative!

2. Everyone Please Go! This is gonna be a very informational meeting and GO TO BURDICKS after the meeting! Just dont eat dinner and we can all go eat after the meeting and have a fun time!

3. Go to the pledge meetings! Yes we only have 3 pledges right now but I still want to encourage you to go!

Initiation Update

2009-12-10T16:45:00.001-05:00

I just called and confirmed that the Bernhard Center IS open for normal hours. We are having Initiation today. It would be hard to schedule another day to have this as i was told that the Bernhard Center is all pretty much booked up and i don't want to bother everyone on exam week.

If you have any problems please call me at (269) 350-3502.

Also, if you decide not to go because of the snow, call me or Josh Jackson (i hope he doesn't mind.. lol) AHEAD of time. If we are to give you a ride it would be earlier to be able to get there and make sure the room is all ready.

Again, please do not hesitate to call me, i don't have classes today! and am up to nothing but cleaning my room and lounging around.

Thanks,

Chris

Initiation Information

2009-12-10T11:59:00.001-05:00

AS OF NOW (11:53) we ARE still having the pledge meeting. The Bernhard Center is still open!

I still have to call at around 5 to double check everything. It is still possible we might have to cancel.

Please keep checking on here for more information.

If this isn't updated by 6 then start calling me!

If you have to drive to the meeting and don't want to because of the snow please also get a hold of me ((269) 350-3502 or (989) 948-4802 yes i have 2 numbers!) or Josh ((248) 255-3372).

I hope all of your classes are going well! I hope everyone is using our service and I want to try something new. I am setting us up with a number, which is 1-269-350-4AHP (4247). This number will be automatically forward to each driver for the night. I believe this will make things easier for everyone, because no one will have to call around asking about who is driving, all you will have to do is call this one number!

Dean how many people are coming.

We also need to know how many people are planning on coming to Oshkosh

with your intentions. Say if you would like to go for a week or a
half week and which half of the week. Here is a schedule of events

I hope your summer started off well! I also hope that this past Spring semester treated you nicely! This is going to be a great fun summer unless it happens to rain on all the events... but that wont happen because i am thinking positively!

Alumni Dinner

Keep a look on here or your email for more info on the alumni dinner. Robert is working hard on this and it should be a blast! It will also be a great place to meet former members and also get the inside scoop with the organization they are with.

Red Bull

Everyone should book their hotel rooms before May 22 or find somewhere else to stay. Good luck to everyone going to Canada, just make sure you have plenty of gas in the car because your gonna be sitting for a while. I have an email sent out with all the ticket information i have at the moment. It should be a blast!

Get your Red Bull shirt thoughts over to Nick Garrod!!! if you are reading this and have an idea but dont say anything..... Well click here nicholas.s.garrod@wmich.edu and email him NOW!!!!! :-D

Student Involvement Zone

This June is the student involvement zone where we will have a table set up and talk to new students who could be prospective pledges. Check your email for the dates and try to go to as many as you are able! Its a good time to chat and hang out with members and meet the new students

Cedar Point

Keep a lookout for more info on a Cedar Point trip, we are looking at a weekend in June to take a trip over for a day of fun, and yes Diana it is better than Six Flags!!!

Oshkosh

Ready for the greatest aviation adventure?... well its at the end of the summer so your gonna have to wait. We are going to have an Alpha Eta Rho trip over to Oshkosh, WI so keep the last week in July open!

Well, Spring Break is almost here, wow is the semester flying by.

First of all, if you haven't heard, our GBM on March 8th will not occur as it is the last day of spring break and the Bernhard Center is blacked out. Look for our next GBM on March 22nd.

Second, IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID YOUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. They are due or a schedule to pay them is due TONIGHT AT 8PM. After tonight a $5 late fee will be assessed.

Third, our xbox/pizza night was well attended and all seemed to have a good time. Look to possibly have more of these in the future!

There are many exciting events coming up after spring break. All of them will be announced at the meetings first before they are posted online.

GLIAC and other fun

2009-02-01T19:06:00.002-05:00

Well, January is gone...wow that was fast. Even though the first month of school is almost over, we are on path to have one of our most active semesters ever!

First of all, GLIAC at Rock Financial Showplace in Novi was a huge success for all involved. The college's booth was busy all the time and we were well represented. Completely by accident, we also happened to stumble upon a large contingent from Sigma Chi Chapter (EMU). We look forward to working with them in the future on events and other activities that both chapters members can benefit from!

Planning is well underway for several events to include Paintball, several possible day trips, a charity event and Polar Plunge (yes, I will be going swimming...thanks Mark)

Stay tuned for future updates as we get closer and closer to the end of the school year!
