The Alumni Board would like to thank everyone who was able to join us in celebrating 110 years of OTTO this past weekend.
We connected with some great alumni and raised some money for the house as well as the OTTO Foundation. (Our charitable organization responsible for education related expenses and scholarships).
There were many a story swapped, many a beverage drank, and the old timers won the wiffleball game. (regardless of what the younger guys have to say on the matter)
A special thanks to Mickey Booth and Brian Callaghan for helping put this event together. As well as Mickey’s fiancé Keri, Canaan Nelson, and Andrew Dion for helping setup before the event.
Our thanks also to everyone who signed up for recurring donations. This small monthly donation of $10-$15 (really whatever you can afford) a month is crucial to the ongoing success of OTTO. Whether it be at 14 Leroy St or on the Hill, there are upcoming expenses that the active chapter simply cannot shoulder on their own.
We have ~600 living alumni, we are working every day to get back in touch with more of them. If we could get just a fraction of those signed up for a $10 recurring monthly donation, the difference made would be immeasurable.
On to the specifics.
