<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear Brothers,
<br>
<br>
First, great attendance at the game last night! Only positive things emerge when around 90% of your chapter shows up to events... like hypothetically a new 50" TV. I'll send another email out soon with the dates for the last two games.
<br>
<br>
Kevin set out this email with a link to the Leadership awards page. I strongly encourage checking them out.
<br>
<br>
Reminder, bid meeting Friday (tomorrow) @6 before the Hockey game. <br>
<br>
Lastly, today I will be attending the second meeting of the 21st Century Leadership Series. It will be from 6-8 in Baker. I will send out a groupme, feel free to text me if you are going.<br>
<br>
Fraternally,<br>
Steven Hedges<br>
