Move in / Move out

  1. Undergrad chapter officers couldn’t keep up with everyone when this was done at the end of the spring 2012 semester and the beginning of the fall 2012 semester

  2. Look into Nittany Co-op for their inspector and move in services

  3. Talk to alumnus brother Leshawn Haynes, he works for a hotel/ apartment management company that might also use a service that we could also use or at least get a quote from.

  4. discussion about requiring brothers to live in house.

Side Porch and Bar Area renovation

  1. This is the next big project that will be attacked

  2. If we start it we are worried about ADA compliance issues so thinking about delaying it until we have more money to pay for it all. Alumni Board will be having a conference call to come up with a plan of action

Kitchen Renovation

  1. Talks about investing in a dishwasher. Was it a mistake to not install one when the renovation was done? Can always put one in later. Undergrads should look into it and determine if they really need one and price a few options out.

Work weekend

  1. The undergrads need to decide on a date as soon as possible.

Alumni Treasurer - Chris Burke (given by Richard Maltz) (download report)

  1. Financials broken down into alumni, house, and capital fund. Capital fund is making money, just not collected all pledges as some are made over time.

  2. Need to discuss increases to insurance coverage, based on conversations with insurance broker for total assets in house and rental loss coverages.

  3. Chapter House expenses and revenues solid, rebuilding reserves after purchase of chapter house

Old Business

None

New Business

  1. Undergraduates present “Helping Hand of Omega” award to Richard Maltz '90. Thanks for doing so much for our chapter!

  2. Board of Director elections will be held at 2013 Homecoming. Will appoint someone to find those brothers interested in running of for the board of director.

  3. Richard Maltz, alumni president, announces he will not be running next year. Living in California makes it too difficult to be involved and attend functions in State College.
