HOLMSTROM MEMORIAL WEEKEND
Each year, the Dan Holmstrom Memorial Scholarship Fund, supported by the Holmstrom family and alumni of the Alpha Beta (Iowa) Chapter, grants a scholarship to an active member of the Iowa chapter. The winner best exemplifies the spirit and leadership of Daniel Alexander Holmstrom, Iowa ’99. Each fall a reunion weekend is held in Iowa City during a home football weekend for Beta brothers to reunite, celebrate Dan’s life and raise money for the memorial fund. 2006 Dan Holmstrom Memorial Weekend Friday, Sept. 15th – Open House at the chapter house 7-10 p.m.
ONCE A BETA, ALWAYS A BETA
The Naples (Fla.) Area Beta Alumni Club looks forward to another active season with monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of every month at the Collier Athletic Club in Naples. The informal mission of the Club is to have lunch and a good time with old and new Beta friends who share common values. The meetings start at 11:30 a.m. with the singing of a few of the good old Beta songs and the “Doxology” before a buffet lunch. A short program follows featuring a prominent speaker from the business and/or political world to share their thoughts, wisdom and humor. Residents and seasonal or visiting Betas are welcome but reservations are required.
