Brothers,
I hope you have all safely returned back home from The Gamma Psi Experience
(GPE) 2018 in Plano, TX. I additionally hope you found value in your
registration fee. I know the fee can be a problem depending on all the
obligations we have to those who depend on us and thus tried to deliver
relative value for your investment. This year was a little different
because we decided that even as we got together to reconnect, we wanted to
do something good for GSU, which was a significant undertaking for us.
Please remember *"No Student Left Behind (NSLB)" *as a moniker for GSU Gap
Fund future activities and recognize it as something the Alumni of Gamma
Psi are conducting. That said, I have a few special thanks:
Thanks to Brother *Broderick Miller* for his leadership through this whole
process of the NSLB fundraiser and for "compelling" brothers from his era
to consider participating in The Gamma Psi Experience.
Thanks to Brother *Errol Coner* for his suggestions and guidance throughout
the planning of GPE 2018.
Thanks to Brothers *Richard Gallot Jr.* (GSU President) and *Martin Lemelle
Jr.* (GSU COO) for their attendance in supporting our NSLB initiative.
Thanks to Brothers *Murphy Cheatham, Jesse Jackson, and William Bryant* for
all of their work in marketing and executing the NSLB fundraiser and silent
auction.
Thanks to Brother *Charles Blow* for taking a few hours out of an extremely
busy schedule to fly across the country to support this fundraiser.
Thanks to Brother *Antonio Williams* for making sure the brothers could
convene over good food and drink, even as we worked around a tight budget.
Thanks to Brother *Carlos Phillips* for his insightful spiritual
presentation and lessons he shared with the brothers.
Thanks to Brother *Darin Wills* for simply being there when I couldn't.
Thanks to all brothers who were not initiated at Gamma Psi, but trusted our
efforts enough to support it with your time and money.
*Final Announcements: *
1.) If you registered and have not yet received your souvenir golf shirt,
you should receive it by U.S. Mail no later than 3 weeks from now. In the
interim, don't hesitate to contact me with questions.
2.) The NSLB photographer photos should be available in a week. The final
financial report will be posted in about a month.
3.) Since we know not what tomorrow holds, I am grateful we had this
chance. WIth functioning Gamma Psi and Grambling Alumni Chapters, perhaps
GPE has run its course. Certainly, I will not oversee another one, but if
there is interest in doing it again, I will be there to help whatever
brother(s) are interested in leading the effort.
Yours in the Bond,
Dana Harrison
