30th Anniversary Celebration Recap – PART ONE

If you missed out on all of the 30th-ish Anniversary festivities of this past weekend, then you missed out on a lot!!!  Alumni from quite a few generations were present and accounted for over the three days of activities, and a great time was had by all, catching up and reminiscing about days gone by!

Alumni the Pub

The weekend started off on Friday night with the Happy Hour at The Pub at International Plaza. Brian Harff, David Ebner, Joshua Cleveland, Chip Woodward, Jon DeJongh, Quincy Banis, Brian Spiro, Clinton Millsap, Craig Dickinson, Chase Dafnis, Jon DeJongh, Taylor Bauer, Travis Rivers, Mike Grafstrom, Todd Latoski, and others showed up for a great evening of drinks, appetizers, and lots of memories!

After some sleep (and recovery!) from Friday’s night out, the Alumni met at the USF Marshall Center for the DZAA Bi-Annual General Membership Meeting.  A quorum was declared present, and after the officers gave their reports, a vote was taken on two measures:  (1)  to change the fiscal year to July 1st through June 30th and (2) to add two new Board members, the Technology Chairman and the Archivist, both of whom will be appointed and not elected members to the Board.  The two measures passed unanimously.

Before the meeting closed out, the Alumni inducted into its ranks a soon-to-graduate Brother, Mike Rizer.  Make sure you reach out to Brother Rizer and welcome him into the DZAA!

This, of course, was only the beginning of the weekend…
