Brothers, putting this Career Day together is for a qualified cat herder. Here is the latest info and schedule. This isn’t in concrete yet but it is current as far as I know. Depending on the interest I will try to get us overnight reservations at the Comfort Inns and Suites right off I45.

Career Day times: all times are for 24 Sept.

• 12:00 luncheon for alumni and wives - am asking Spot to set up a luncheon for those who wish to attend. Please let him know if you will attend asap.
• 2:00 Career Day at the Lodge - dress casual. The Career day will be conducted in three sessions.
  

There is an active wildfire burning near Midway (Walker County)… about 14 miles northwest of the ATO lodge in Huntsville. To keep up with the latest developments on this fire and others in the State of Texas, go to the Texas Forrest Service Daily Wildfire Situation page which contains links, info and a plugin for viewing the Wild Fire activity on Google Earth .

I got an email from Bruce Evans wanting to make sure everyone underdstood he was not affected by the storm and the community he lives in had very little damage. At the same time Brother Evans indicated there was a lot of need for assistance in Alabama. Brother Evans is involved in relief efforts and the MedMission suggestion is a good way to help. If interested please follow the instructions below.

This is the online home of the Texas Zeta Mu ATO Alumni Association (Sam Houston State University, Huntsville). We have an online database of alumni contact information, chapter & alumni news, events, reference materials and more.

We’re putting out a call for volunteers to assist in making this site more useful to our brothers. Can you help? We need:

• Brothers to create ‘how to’ articles and screencasts
• graphics talent
• help updating the alumni contact list
• volunteers to write short articles of interest to the other brothers
• photographers to upload photos
• photo editors
• event editor
• people to buy drinks for the web team

Most of these roles do not require any special skills. For example, if you can call a “lost” brother and gather information to update the contact list, we need you! If you are willing and able to help Zeta Mu grow its online presence, please sign up for an account. If you have any questions, please use the contact form to send feedback or call David Matocha at (281) 201-4470.

I have been trying to recruit new (within the past 5 years) alumni to the association, but I have little information to offer them other than the dates of which Medina will be this year and the approximate cost I have been quoted by various older alum. I refer them to the website every time I talk/see them, but I assume they either forget to check the website or when they do write it down it gets lost throughout the night.
