Hello
Sisters!
This is the first blog post from the
2013-14 District Council! Woo!!
If I haven’t had the pleasure of
meeting you yet, allow me to tell you a little about myself: my name is Zach
Marentay and I am a sophomore studying Sports Management at the University of
Michigan. I am a clarinet player in the
Michigan Marching Band and Men’s Basketball Band, and this past year I served
as the Corresponding Secretary for the Lambda Chapter of Tau Beta Sigma. I also work as a tour guide for the Office of
Undergraduate Admissions, so I give tours of our lovely campus to prospective
freshmen interested in coming to Michigan.
You all may remember me as the guy Skyping everyone at NCD from Atlanta
as I’m finally recovering from sleep deprivation through our basketball team’s
run to the Final Four. With that being
said, I’m so thankful you’ve all put your confidence in me as the new Vice
President of Special Projects, and I promise to serve you and collegiate bands
across the district to the best of my ability.
I wanted to use this first blog post
to alert sisters around the district that while we finished this academic year
with a very successful Convention, preparation for next year starts NOW! It’s been wonderful to see all of the newly
installed chapter officers through the NCD listserve, and I’d like to offer my
personal congratulations to all of the newly elected officers! Don’t forget to also update this information
via the Chapter Personnel Update online, so that info is all set to go.
Now we may be talking about
preparing for next year, but who says it has to be all work and business? Want to take a break and relax, all while
having some FUN with your sisters from around the district? Then consider coming to the 2013 Summer FUNction! This year, FUNction will be held from June
21-23rd at Dune Lake Campground in Coloma, MI, and sisters are
welcome to join us for all or just a part of what looks to be a great
weekend. The campground is full of fun
activities such as volleyball, beaches, mini-golf, a game room, ping-pong, and
get this-you can even bring your pets!
Only $3/night to bring a furry friend of your own to join us for a
weekend of fun. FUNction will only cost
a total of $25 this year to cover campground sites and food, and registration
will be open very soon, so be on the lookout for that. If you’d like any more info, you can visit
the official Facebook event page, or contact me directly and I’ll answer any
questions you have.
I hope you all are excited for the
things to come! I know the council is
super stoked for everything we have planned this year, and have already started
preparing for a great year! Best of luck
with finals, and have a great summer!
Much
Love In The Bond,
Zach Marentay
