Greetings Brothers of AlphaEast!

We hope this message finds you both mentally and physically strong.

We send greetings to you and all those who are planning to attend the 80th Eastern Region Convention. We have created an extensive list of events that we hope you or your guest(s) will enjoy.

The 80th Eastern Region Convention will be held from March 28th - April 1st, 2012 and the regional staff in conjunction with the local host chapters is working to make this one of the best experiences we’ve seen in years.

As we work to reclaim brothers back into the circle of brotherhood, please extend this message to those who may be looking for an opportunity to become active and continue the work of our great fraternity.

This year’s theme is Expansion and Internal Development and as we do the work of our founders, let us continue to uphold the Light of Alpha and contribute to our communities.

The hotel is ready to receive reservations and we urge you to register early to ensure availability of your accommodations.

Please take the time to fill out the registration materials and we’ll see you in Portsmouth!
