Eta Iota House Corporation 2018-2019 Report to alumni

Eta Iota House Corporation 2018-2019 Report to alumni Prepared by Tom McSwiggan 4/25/19

Brothers,

The 2018-2019 year was another very busy and productive year for the Eta Iota House Corporation. We continued to make steady progress on our phased renovation completing many projects focusing our efforts on the mechanics of the house, temporarily putting aesthetics aside. To date we have completed approximately 55% of the renovation (60% after windows – summer 2019),paid off the new property and have acquired no debt. What’s more, our emergency repairs once budgeted in the thousands of dollars per semester are almost zero. This year we addressed a few long running issues such as updating fuse boxes and replacing the exterior sewer lines. I’m sure some of you remember circuit breakers popping continuously and sewer backups – Those days have ended……click link below to continue.

Greetings Brothers!  I hope everyone had a great holiday with friends and family and had a chance to recharge for 2016.

We have a lot of stuff lined up for Eta Iota in the coming year with ongoing focus on important house renovations, maintaining a solid balance sheet for future operations and of course, celebrating 45 years at Sigma Chi at ERAU.

Invitations have been mailed for Eta Iota’s 45th Birthday and you should have received them by now. This month’s update will recap how we’ve incorporated feedback from the last major birthday event and Birthday Chairman, James “Gassi” Ahrens(’90) has the Top 10 list of reasons to attend (as if you needed that many).

Two items covered in this month’s briefing:

  1. We listened to feedback from past birthdays and made some changes for 45th we think you’ll enjoy.
  2. Gassi’s Top 10 reasons to attend Eta Iota’s 45th Birthday

House Corp President Update – Nov ’15

Greetings Brothers!  I hope everyone has recuperated from Thanksgiving feasts & family time.

I stepped back into House Corp as President on November 20th following the resignation of Roger Moody and wanted to take this opportunity to send a quick note on some of the main items House Corp is working on now and what is coming up.

For those of you who remember my first stint as HC President back in the late 90’s, I sent monthly email updates on progress & plans and I will be picking this up again starting with this update.

Three things to take away from this month’s briefing:

  1. 45th Birthday is coming up (March 31-April 3) and full details will be sent out very soon.
  2. 520 South Ridgewood is looking fantastic following recent large projects – you’ll be amazed at 45th.
  3. House Corp finances are in good shape with strong support from fundraising efforts and some exciting upcoming opportunities.
