Brothers in the Grand Canyon State, let's join together for the Arizona Area Retreat on Saturday, August 9 from 12-6 PM at the Francisco Grande Hotel and Golf Resort in Casa Grande.
We have many important initiatives for the upcoming year and I think the Arizona Area Retreat will present a great opportunity to lay the foundation for success.
During the Arizona Area Retreat, we will receive IMDP and Risk Management training from our esteemed Tri-State District Director King Gonzalez. This training is extremely important for ALL Brothers in Good Standing (BIGS) who wish to participate during Fall 2014 IMDP and for those who wish to serve as chapter officers. The August 9 training will allow you to be certified until December 31, 2015 so you should take advantage of this opportunity!
In addition, we will discuss our plans for the 2015 Tri-State District conference, alumni chapter agendas for the year and the future of our college chapters.
To support the costs associated with this Arizona Area Retreat, we ask that all Brothers pay at $35 registration fee, which will pay for the meeting room, lunch (BBQ sandwich buffet) and beverages.
Optional hotel room rates are being offered at $74 plus tax for Standard Tower rooms and $94 plus tax for Tower Executive Suites. The hotel is not holding a block of rooms. You will need to call the Hotel at (800) 237-4238 or (520) 836-6444 and mention the Alpha Phi Alpha Retreat to book your room(s) at these rates.
If you should have any questions or concerns about the Arizona Area Retreat, please do not hesitate to contact Brother Tremaine Jasper, Arizona Area Director, at [email protected].
My brothers, I look forward to seeing you in Casa Grande on August 9.
