End of July Update

Hello there! It is the end of July and this site has not seen an update since July 7! Totally skipped over Founder's Day and mentioning the anniversary of the Lambda Delta chapter, and National Convention breezed by.

So what now?

Well just a couple quick updates to share.

First, the next national convention, in 2011, will take place in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sure sounds nice!

Second, there is some stuff in the works for this site. July ended up being a little busier than I expected but August should see some good stuff going on around these parts so stay tuned!

In the News...

Brother Erich Hawbaker has his name in the news in Chambersburg. He was quoted in a recent story regarding a tax rally at the Franklin County Courthouse.

Erich Hawbaker, a member of the Franklin County Young Republicans, drew similar response when he talked about the spending habits of the Obama administration and current Congress since the beginning of the year.

"A trillion dollars later, what have we got," he asked. "Did unemployment go down? Did the stock market go up? Did it keep GM and Chrysler out of bankruptcy?"

He, too, urged the crowd to "let (politicians) know they are working for us."

About Your Family Colors

Thought I'd start a new feature on the site in an attempt to get people interested in the site. I'll post my first entry tomorrow but want to ask you for your input.

Each family in the Lambda Delta chapter has a different set of family colors and family letter shirts. These shirts are usually worn proudly by members of the same family on specific days or occasions and each shirt generally has a story behind it.

So what is the story behind your family colors and shirt? Send me your background info and I'll post it here to share with the rest of the community. Or you can just leave your comments in the comment section! If you have a picture to accompany your story please send it my way so we can share it with everyone!
