First order of business was the re-election of a slate of officers that has run un-opposed for a few years now. Our grip on power is secure for yet another year.

President: Andy Kassel

VP: Eoghan Miller

Treasurer/Literary Chair: Bruce Klaus

Recording Secretary: Yours Truely

After the re-election, President Kassel informed us of the success of our online dues paying software in collecting dues. Additionally Grand Praetor Kassel informed us of the undergraduate chapter at St. Louis University losing their charter, upcoming initiation at Westminster on March 3rd and call for recruits for a new alumni advisory board at Westminster.

With official business concluded the rest of our lunch hour was filled with tales of Brother Klaus's stint in the Golden Eagle Marching Band and SE Missouri State. Apparently the tenor saxophone was never played so eloquently but then again when you have lots of air to blow wonderous things can happen! Brother Klaus also led us in our literary exercise with the assistance of Brother Huffstuder's spectacles:

"Confidence...thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live."   ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

Our Central Missouir Sigma Chi thoughts are with our brother Thad McCanse, recovering from heart bypass surgery. His wit and unrelentless badgering of Brother Gale was missed this month! Hurry back!

Fraternally,

Joseph Hayes
