January 2000 Meeting Notice

Get Your Coyotes Tickets From Bud at January Luncheon!

The monthly luncheon of the Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter will be held at noon
Tuesday (January 11) at the Arizona Club atop the Bank One building in
downtown Phoenix.

Guest speaker will be state Sen. Harry Mitchell, former mayor of Tempe.

Brothers will also be able to get their suite tickets to the Sunday, Feb.
20 hockey game between the Phoenix Coyotes and Atlanta Thrashers at this
meeting.
Coyotes president (and Kansas Sig) Shawn Hunter is providing us a suite
and 40 complimentary tickets.

So far, half of those tickets are spoken for. By vote of the alumni
chapter board, we are asking for a $25 per ticket donation so that the
suite may be stocked with refreshments. A food and rink order must be
placed several days in advance of the game.

Feel free to call 602-493-1886 or e-mail me
budw@aol.com in advance of Tuesday’s
meeting if you’d like to reserve tickets to the NHL game at the
"Coolest Place in the Desert" – America West Arena.

Also, with new ownership taking over the Arizona Club, the Sigma Chi
Alumni Chapter needs a new home. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
New ownership has done away with the buffet, so the board has ordered a
"deli" lunch for Tuesday. The price is nearly $15 (excluding
tax and tip), an increase of $3, so we’re asking, if possible, if
brothers could chip in an extra $5 this Tuesday. If not, the difference
will come from the treasury. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Coming up in February: Ritual Meeting. There will be no speaker on
Tuesday, Feb. 8. As per bylaws, the monthly luncheon will be devoted to
Sigma Chi ritual — a great opportunity to remind all of us what Sigma
Chi is all about and to strengthen the bonds.

Coming up in March: Keven Willey, editor of the editorial pages of The
Arizona Republic will be guest speaker March 14.
