Letter From Chapter President Dennis Joyce
Posted: 5/10/2021
The past year has been an extended dark ages. Our football TV viewing days with the parents were sparse and the covid screwed up our first Thursday of the month lunch meetings. Now that we see light at the end of the tunnel, it may be time to look over the organization of the chapter and develop a five year plan for the future. Our regular members are loyal but are “getting long in the tooth” and the 60’s dominate.
I have been Sacramento Chapter President for 18 years and I am thinking it is time to pass on the job and at the same time generate some activity from the younger classes. Our parents club rocks and we enjoy their company. Our next real event is on June 6th when we recognize the incoming plebes and their families. Save the date and email me if you are interested and I will forward details. We have a tent at the Dante Club to accommodate a larger gathering.
I am off to my summer cottage for the next two weeks. Send me an email if you are interested in chapter leadership or becoming more active.
