Triangle Sale Items

	Brothers:

As the sale of the Pitt Chapter house draws near, I would like to keep everyone posted on the activities leading up to the final days.  Here are a few topics I wanted to fill everyone in on.

Schedule:

Although the day for the closing on the house has not yet been finalized, a timeline has been established with the following milestones:

9/6/00 – Final Move Out Date – NO EXCEPTIONS.  All residents must move out of the house and take their PERSONAL belongings with them.  All Fraternity Owned items including composite pictures, paddles, furniture, signs, household supplies, etc. must remain in the house (unless a specific agreement is reached with Jeff Graeber).  The house will remain furnished and livable until after the homecoming celebration.

9/7/00 – 9/14/00  - House Cleaning.  A professional cleaning company and/or a group of actives will be hired to clean the house in anticipation for the homecoming celebration.

9/15/00 – Final preparation for Homecoming

9/16/00 – Homecoming Activities (See separate schedule for Details)

9/17/00 – Final Clean-up from Homecoming

9/18/00 – 10/10/00 – Prepare for movers.  This includes all paperwork, composites, paddles, trophy case, etc.  Basically, anything the Chapter is saving for the future house.  During this time all other items of value or those claimed by individuals will be removed from the house.  (See next section for details.)

10/11/00 – Professional movers to arrive and take all items to storage facility obtained by Triangle.  Note:  Bob Petrick will be keeping all ritual equipment at his house.

10/13/00 – (Date not finalized yet) Final Closing on Chapter House.

House Items:

The following items have been identified as potentially having cash value on the market.  Bids are being solicited from antique dealers and/or ads are being placed in the paper to sell the following items.  Anyone interested in matching the highest bid is welcome to contact Jeff Graeber.  Some items may be saved for use in the new house construction at the discretion of the Alumni Board.

Fireplace Mantles – Qty. 4
Stained Glass Windows – Qty. 4
Wooden Panel Doors and Misc. Wooden Trim
Beer Keg Cooler
Furnace

Items of little or no cash value, but having value to the fraternity, will be moved into storage.  These include: 
Bar Top
Signs from the Basement and the rest of the house.
Fraternity Composites
Pledge Paddles
Trophy Case items
Etc.

Note:  No items will be removed from the house until after 9/17/00. 

House Souvenirs:

Due to the agreement with Howard Hannah, Brothers can not “dismantle” the house for fun or souvenirs before the sale.  The Alumni Organization is planning to provide some type of prepared commemorative souvenir.  Details are not finalized at this time, but it is anticipated that it will be a “piece of the house” with the possible addition of a photograph.  

For those of you who want it in plain english this means, “we’re not allowed to trash the house”!  So don’t plan on bringing your sledge hammer or crow bar.

If there are any questions regarding any of the above mentioned information, please contact me to discuss.

Corporation Meeting and Homecoming

As you know, the Corporation meeting for the Fall is held on Homecoming.  This year's Homecoming is on September 16th, and our meeting will occur at noon on that day.  Anyone wishing to run for an Alumni Office is encouraged to come and stand for election.  After the meeting, there will be sandwiches and a social gathering for those who cannot make it to the catered dinner in the evening.  The Homecoming schedule for this year follows:

Corporation Meeting: 12 Noon
                                 
Sandwiches and Social: 1:30 to 3:00 PM
                                  
Pitt Football Game: 3:30 to 6:00 PM
                              
Catered Dinner (Brothers Only Please): 7:30 PM

Brothers, I ask for leniency when it comes to the bare-bones    approach that I've taken with this newsletter.  My responsibilities at work, where I normally work on this, have quintupled over the past few months.  This has cut into my personal life as well, so there is very little time for me to work on this publication.  I suggest that, if any of you wants to see a better newsletter, that someone step forward and take over the position of Chapter Editor.  If not, this format will probably remain for the foreseeable future.
