Next Stop: Kansas City

Semesters are finally ending, though to me, this semester has seemingly flown by at a rather rapid pace. I have to imagine, if you are still in school, that it might have dragged on longer than you would have liked. For myself, and possibly many alumni, the first few months have been fast-paced and frantic. Either way, May is here and that means finals, graduation, and setting up summer plans until August, when we will congregate in Kansas City for Convention and make return plans to our respective universities, or return back to the coming Fall workloads at our offices and the like.

Okay, so, it's another May.

Right now, the Council is working closely with Zeta chapter in creating programming for the convention this summer in KC that will be educational, informative, entertaining, and provocative. It has been a long road to the mid-west, but I'm ecstatic at the efforts of the alumni and actives at Zeta for their long hours, hard work, and dedication in making this event one that will be truly memorable for years to come!

How often does one get the chance to watch the Yankees at a stadium, ticket prices being what they are in their home town? (Not that I'm a Yanks fan, mind; quite the opposite, but I love baseball in general, so I'm still stoked). It's not every day that we find ourselves in the middle of the country, and there is so much to do and see and experience there. You've heard of Kansas City Barbecue, but have you ever really tried it? What about the country's only National World War I Museum and Memorial? How about the largest shuttlecocks in the world? Ever been to the Plaza in downtown KC? It's an experience to say the least!

Be sure to register soon, though. The faster we can find out how many are attending, the more able we are to properly craft programs and events around you. Also, be sure to get your hotel room booked soon, before the block is sold out! Remember, you can cancel at least a week out if something were to come up, likely closer than that (24-48 hours, typically), so it's better to have the room reserved and not need it, than need it and not have one. All details can be found on the convention website, http://www.adgconvention.com.

Hope to see everyone there as always! Stay safe this summer, enjoy the time off, spend some time catching up with friends and family, and bring your letters to Missouri in August!

Ad Dei Gloriam
