NEWSLETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

JON FENDER

 Below are a few pieces of information that I wanted to make sure everyone had.

The ribbon cutting ceremony at the new TKE Headquarters was last month.  The new headquarters is highlighted by the The Better Men for a Better World Courtyard. The Courtyard is a great way to add your name to the new headquarters or to honor a deceased Frater.  As a board, we have already purchased a brick to honor the memory of Bob Parr.  To learn more about the TKE Bricks got to https://secure.willowmarketing.com/tke_brick/.  The information below is copied from www.tke.org. 

The Better Men for a Better World Courtyard has been designed to give Tekes throughout the world an affordable opportunity to have their name added to our International Headquarters. This courtyard will honor our most hallowed values: Love, Charity, and Esteem; and will be constructed with bricks that will serve as a permanent testimony to those who have a love for TKE. Opportunities abound, with more than 2,800 bricks available, to permanently etch the name of the giver, a friend, or ones who have departed so there will be a lasting memory of the role they have played in making TKE great. Just imagine being able to sit on a courtyard bench, listening to the trickling fountain, noting the founding principles of our great Fraternity and seeing all the names that have helped to support our brotherhood. This opportunity for participation will be a public and visible demonstration of what TKE means to thousands of people all over the world. Be one of the first to participate in making your beautiful courtyard even more meaningful through the purchase of your personalized brick or another item in the courtyard. The names will be laser engraved and will last a lifetime, for generations of Tekes to see. The courtyard will be open and publicly visible for all who come to our headquarters. Its beauty and solitude will aptly illustrate the difference TKE has made the world over.
