SIGS NEEDED FOR CHANNEL 8 FUND RAISING

It’s your chance for fame! The Phoenix Alumni Chapter of Sigma Chi will
be manning the phones during on-air fund-raising for KAET-TV (Channel 8)
later this month, and we need your participation.

We’ve committed to supplying 12 brothers the afternoon of Sunday,
November 26th. Not only will you get your face on TV, you’ll also get a free
lunch. Please call Bud Wilkinson at 602-493-1886 as soon as possible to
reserve your spot on the phone bank or for more information.

Time is running out. We need to let Channel 8 know the names of
participants by the close of business on Friday.

Soon a form will be put up on the http://www.phoenixsig.org/ website
for you to sign up for the Mentor program at ASU.

Greetings Brothers,

As the Chapter Advisor to the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter of Sigma Chi at
Arizona State University I am putting together a Mentor program for
the Active Brothers and need to find Alumni Brothers in the area
interested in participating in this program.

I am trying to keep the time commitment to a minimum so that both our
busy work schedules and precious free time are not severely taxed.

I plan on the program starting off with an introduction dinner for
the alumni and active brothers to be held at the ASU house at the
beginning of the semester/school year and concluding with a weekend
BBQ at the end of the school year to cap off this program. During
the school year I would like for the Alumni Brother and the Active
Brother to schedule times of their own choosing to get together for a
few meetings as they see fit. These meetings could be
evenings/weekends or better yet held at your place of employment (if
possible) to expose the guys to your professional work environment.

The main emphasis for the Mentor program will be to provide an
experienced resource for the Active Brothers to use in obtaining
advice on the direction they need to ensure that their college
experience leads to a successful kickoff to their professional career.

We have, in addition to the numerous brothers in the Business School
and other colleges, Brothers in the Cronkite Journalism School and
the Architecture School. Please email (dave@microworks.net), fax
(480-649-9231) or call me (480-610-8234) if you are interested in
participating in this new program.

—————————————–
On a personal, although related, note I have been approached about
selling my company, but before I make any decisions on this I would
need to explore options for employment. If you would be interested
in reviewing my resume or know of someone who might please contact me.

In hoc,

“Spirits” Lure Us
To New Location

With the holidays approaching, it’s only appropriate that we get in the
spirit of the season. The Phoenix Sigma Chi Alumni Chapter will do that the
evening of Wednesday, Nov. 8, with a program devoted to wine at our new
meeting location — Phoenix City Grill!

John Scremin, proprietor of Epicurean Wine Service in north Scottsdale,
will give brothers a short course in Wine 101, complete with a wine-tasting,
and provide us tips on what’s right to serve at the holidays.

Our new gathering spot — Phoenix City Grill — is conveniently located
off the Squaw Peak Parkway (SR 51) at Bethany Home Road. It’s situated on the
SW corner of 16th Street and Bethany Home, facing 16th Street (and just south
of a Pizza Hut store).

Phoenix City Grill will provide us with a more upscale environment and a
choice of entrees: Stuffed chicken breast or meat loaf are the options in
November. As always, there will be a cash bar.

Date: Wednesday, Nov. 8

Time: 6:00 p.m. Happy Hour, 6:30 p.m. Dinner and 7 p.m. Speaker

Place: Phoenix City Grill, 16th Street and Bethany Home Road

Upcoming meetings:
