August 17, 2009 Epsilon Gamma Housing Corporation UpdateBy Scott Nadeau `89, housing corporation presidentThe EGHC held their annual meeting on Saturday, August 15th at the house. The Executive Committee was elected as follows: Scott Nadeau `89 - President Phil Klassen `09 - Vice President Jon Eadie `93 - Secretary John Reineke II `09 - Treasurer In other board elections, Jeff Wandzel `89 and Scott Sawyer `99 were reelected to three year terms. The EGHC would like to welcome Steve Desmet `94 to the board. As most of you know, Steve has been running the poker tournament at the golf outing for the past few years. He also recently joined the committee for our 25th Anniversary Banquet, so joining the board was a natural progression. The Housing Corporation would also like to thank outgoing board member Steve Grenus `88 for serving on the board for the past few years and for all of his dedication to the chapter over all of these years. Steve is currently working on location for Oracle in Kansas and his sage advice will be missed. In terms of the house itself, it still remains in excellent shape and shows very little wear from the $100K+ renovations that took place in 2005 and 2002. The rent we charge is still lower than other fraternity houses, and our facility is the best on campus. The chapter is in the process of renovating the basement and we may see some improvements by homecoming. One big improvement will be the installation of a permanent dehumidifier in the basement that drains into the sewer system. There will also be a few landscaping improvements made to the front of the house soon, they are also scheduled to be completed by homecoming. On the activities front, Bob Seeber Jr. recently announced that the Seeber's will continue to sponsor the Robert A. Seeber/Lenny Varner International Pig Roast and we may see a few "enhancements" to the 2010 event. I'll post more details when they are finalized. |
