Happy 26th Anniversary!
March is the time that Winter Park Alumni Chapter celebrates the chartering of our chapter in March 1992. In honor of our anniversary, on Friday (3/17), the brothers passed the cup and fellowshipped for hours while at the Embassy Suite in Altamonte Springs. The wisdom shared by the older brothers with the neophytes was amazing to witness. In addition to planning for the Jubilee celebration, we talked about the vision our charter members embraced as their motivation to partner with the Winter Park community. It’s wonderful to see the current vision of collective impact align with the strategies introduced in 1992.
On Saturday, March 18, 2018, we were able to celebrate our 26th Anniversary in elegant Nupe Style at the Embassy Suite Hotel-Altamonte Springs beginning at 5:00pm. The celebration was an amazing first class event and our guests are still commenting on the level of quality they experienced. We were fortunate to have Brother Dr. Julian Earls, 74th Laurel Wreath Laureate reflect on his experience as a NASA Center Administrator and physicist! We also paid honor to our chapter members that had been part of our Noble Klan for 50 years by presenting them with the creme 50 Year Blazers. The following brothers were presented blazers in a touching presentation; Bob Billingslea (posthumously), Earl Tildon, Joe Cleveland, James Mable and Cliff Jones.
Prior to the event we were thrilled to learn that the Winter Park Alumni Chapter received the Outstanding Guide Right Chapter of the Year Award in the large chapter category. Brother Derek Walls won the Guide Right Director of the Year Award. Kappa Leaguer Steven Billings-Larson was awarded the 1st place recognition as a Guide Right Member of the Year and Kappa Leaguer Bradley Lockett was awarded the 3rd place recognition as a Guide Right Member of the Year. These awards were presented by the Southern Province Leadership.
Needless to say, I’m extremely proud of the work and commitment to our “Why” that the Winter Park Alumni Chapter demonstrates every day. Thanks for your continued support and we hope to see you at our next chapter meeting. Until next time, keep achieving my dear Brothers!
Yours in the Bond,

Very proud of my chapter. Keep up the great work team.
Great job brothers, keep it up. Though it’s hard to support living in Europe, but I’m definitely supporting in spirit
