Alumni Support Needed for Final Phase B rothers, it is your leadership and service that allowed Texas Fiji to open the new addition in September. We thank you for allowing us to achieve this goal through your support of more than $5.34 million. After another successful recruitment, the Chapter welcomed 54 new members from 16 different cities. By adding 22 rooms in the new addition, each pledge class is now able to live together at the Chapter House their junior year. The new addition will also have ample room for events, study halls, and parties, which will take significant traffic and pressure off Buen Retiro. Plans are being developed for a much-needed remodel and facelift of Buen Retiro to start next summer. Your support is needed in this final phase. If you are able, please considering making a gift using the enclosed form. BCA UPDATES Marshall Merritt '79 stepped down as president of the Board of Chapter Advisors (BCA) in August. Marshall will continue to be involved in various capacities and deserves a hardy well done for his valiant efforts and significant accomplishments. We are thankful to Marshall and all the members of the BCA for their tireless work and wise counsel. UPCOMING EVENTS The BCA will continue its alumni tailgates this season. Join us two hours before each home game and reconnect with your Texas Fiji brothers. However, please note that we will not host tailgates before 11 a.m. games or the Thanksgiving game. Finally, everyone is invited to the unveiling and dedication of the new addition on November 8. We hope to see you there! GTBO, Tom W. Shirley '78 BCA President tomwshirley@gmail.com Perge!
