In Other Committee News:
- More than 20 Chapters have been started across the country (and the
UK) in the past 10 days – get or give updates from these chapter
meetings at http://antiochians.org/forum/index.php

- The issue of College Governance is being handled by legal experts from
the Association in accordance with the mandate in the Alumni Association
Resolution. An appropriate document will be used in the negotiations with
the Board of Trustees… also exactly as mandated by the Resolution.

- Outreach to famous grads and wealthy sympathizers is in the very
capable hands of the Development-Individual (and in some cases,
Development-Foundations)
Subcommittees.

volunteers, especially those licensed to practice in Ohio. Martin and
Nancy Crow are determining first priority projects now. Contact
