Gentlemen - 

Well, we’re closing in on about 4 months out from our return to the scene of the (many, many) crime(s).

 We’ve got over 50 people signed up through the KA website and AU will still be sending the letter out to all of our alumni which I’m sure will drag a few more into the festivities.  So, numbers are looking great, but people aren’t really locked in until they put their money on the table, are they?

 

So, it’s time to start collecting the cash.

The contribution is $150 per brother.   The plan is that gets you the following:

Locked in:

- Your contribution to paying the band.

One Last Band Party t-shirt (which includes design costs, etc)

- One wristband/handstamp that gets you an open bar at the band party.  (This should be KA only, as far as my discussions with AU)

-  Some things to make the band party feel a bit more like a Klan Band Party

In the works/TBD:

-  Etched KA pint glasses

-  A KA happy hour at Alex’s (C’mon Mr. Sember- you can make this happen…)

-  Possibly something for Alan Griffin to thank him for letting us do pictures at the house and all the work he put into something we all have great memories if.  Maybe we make him the last honorary KA brother and get him a sweatshirt with the Crest?  Maybe a plaque to hang at the House?  Both?

 

The only cash in addition to the $150 that I am collecting would be $30 additional if you have a spouse, etc. that’s coming and you want them to have open bar at the party.  That’s the cost we’re paying AU catering.

 

I’ll keep track of all the cash in and cash out.  Everything will be accounted for.  If there’s extra funds -well, I may be buying a few drinks at the bar.

 

So, here’s your options to get the $150 cash to me (along with your T-shirt size)

1. Venmo:  @Christian-Billman-2

2. PayPal:   cbillman632@roadrunner.com

3. If you prefer the good old US Postal Service, send a check payable to me at:

Chris Billman
