Thankfully, the office at Epsilon Theta was spared from the flood waters
and we have not lost anything that is chapter property. I would like to
thank everyone who is thinking of us. Our e-mail system is back up now,
however, there are few students here to use it. We appreciate all the
support given to the Grand Forks area. Epsilon Theta held a fund raiser
at the end of our year for our 50th anniversary banquet. Since we did
not have our banquet, we have tentatively planned to donate our excess
funds to the Red Cross and/or Salvation Army. If there are any chapters
who would like to participate in this donation, we would be happy to work
with you. It is amazing how everyone around the country has pulled
together to help us out. If you have any questions for me you can e-mail
me, call me at (701) 772-2903, or write to the chapter at:
Alpha Phi Omega - Epsilon Theta
University of North Dakota
P.O. Box 8385, University Station
Grand Forks, ND 58202-8385
Thanks again to everyone for the overwhelming support.

Service VP - Epsilon Theta
