Richmond (VA) Alumni

By: Mark Gardner

The Richmond (VA) Alumni Chapter (RAC) recently hosted their annual holiday fundraising event, “KAPPA KHRISTMAS KOCKTAILS,” at the Dewey Gottwald Center. It was a very entertaining evening in a lovely venue with the perfect ambiance to set the mood. The chapter decided to have the event at the Dewey Gottwald Center because of the Successful 75th Chapter Anniversary they had there last Winter, and thought it would be the perfect venue and setting for the “KAPPA KHRISTMAS KOCKTAILS” fundraiser Yes, it was an evening of a good fellowship from the Kappa Brothers to friends and family with a Galalike vibe Some of the perks offered that evening were heavy hors d’oeuvres, a photo backdrop, a raffle that consisted of a 75 Inch

Television, a $100 Gift Card, a $50 Gift Card, and an outstanding music selection all evening. This event was sold out, and the fundraising committee excelled in planning and working diligently to make it a fantastic evening. RAC Polemarch James L. Clark said, “The event was outstanding, and people traveled near and far, and it was for sure a five-star event.” In closing, RAC will now prepare to support and attend the Eastern Province’s Inaugural Founder’s Day celebration in Richmond, Virginia. We love KAPPA
