Stuff-A-Truck Update

OTTO-stuff_a_truck.jpg

In recent weeks we have concluded that U-Haul will be donating a 14 ft. truck for us to fill. At this point, the location is still tentative as we are waiting to hear back from Clarkson, but we are hoping to use the lawn of Old Snell due to it’s location so near the center of town. As mentioned, it will be taking place on the weekend of November 12th, the active brothers along with any alumni that would like to come up will be camping out on the lawn there until the truck is filled. SUNY Potsdam sorority Phi Kappa Pi will also be helping plan and organize the event, by getting flyers up far in advance all around town and on all 4 campuses of the local colleges we are hoping that there will be a huge turnout; the bigger we make this the better. There is a chance we will have live music at some point during the weekend and McLovin and myself may talk to the fire department about doing a bar-b-que on that weekend as well since they are right across the street. In addition to lots of advance notice, we’re hoping to attract a lot of donations by offering a prize to the student organization (greek, athletic, etc.) from any school that makes the largest contribution.

Mark you calendars! Lets make it a big weekend with LOTS of donations!

Omicron Pi Omicron Presents Stuff-A-Truck

We are starting an annual Stuff-A-Truck can drive. The actives of Omicron Pi Omicron will be at Downtown Snell, Old Clarkson the entire weekend of November 12-14, 2010. We will have a box truck that we need to fill before we can leave.

Please bring canned foods and other non-perishable household goods. Toiletries are also welcome. Come out and help a great cause.

Recap on alumni weekend

Thanks to all those who were able to make the trip to potsdam for the Spring 2010 Alumni weekend. For those who attended, i think we can all agree to say it was fun to be had by all. Thanks again for the insight by the elders to the current actives on what steps to take in the relative directions. Hope to see everyone at Pig Roast.

Rush BBQ

This past saturday we had a rush Bbq. A few brothers bought some lawn games before hand which turned out to be a huge hit. Horse balls were fun for all.

Faculty Dinner

Well we just had our faculty dinner with nearly 10 faculty coming including President Tony Collins and all our favorite faculty from class. I think it was a big hit as all our teachers loved dinner and were suprised at the house. It was a big hit when we had faculty showing up even before the 6 o clock time line we set.

All around it was a great success and I think another faculty dinner in the future is a must.

UPDATE: Donation

I went to the bank yesterday to cash in all the money and cans we had collected. It all added up to a few cents shy of $450. Thanks to everyone who donated to make it possible to deliver a nice check to Amy Schroh who lost everything she owned in a house fire.

We plan on giving her this check at our upcoming faculty dinner in front of the rest of the Clarkson faculty.

Dorm Storming for Amy Schroh

It hit 7:30 pm on Tuesday the 11th when all the actives poured out of the house headed for the hill campus to dorm storm. They split up into groups to cover a majority of the dorms on campus to collect change and cans/ bottles. After meeting back at the house about an hour later, it was evident our goal to be able to donate a lump sum of money to Amy Schroh, the unfortunate Clarkson faculty who lost all of her belongings in an house fire, was succesful. After a few hours of sorting and counting, the total came in. Just change alone, without any cans we earned a total of over $390. Were estimating about $450 total after the cans are redeemed.

I just want to say thanks to those who helped us make our goal to help an important member of the Clarkson community.
