2007 Pig Dinner Recap
Symposiarch Nathan Boston '03
Over the weekend of April 27, 28 & 29, 2007, over 80 Alpha Omega Graduate Brothers returned to Athens, Ohio to participate in Alpha Omega's 41st Anniversary Norris Pig Dinner. As in prior years, a golf outing was scheduled for Brothers making their way from Columbus to Athens. Chaired by Chris Moehring '74, Brothers played at Pine Hill Golf Course in Carroll, Ohio.
In late afternoon, Head Chef Janet Smith began preparations for the Friday BBQ, cooking hundreds of hotdogs and hamburgers and setting up the dining room to accommodate Brothers returning for the weekend. Operating in her traditional efficient manner, tables turned over on a regular basis as everyone took turns filling their plates with food and catching up with Brothers seated at their table.
Following dinner, Undergraduate and Graduate Brothers headed uptown or down to the Ohio University Inn for socializing and to become acquainted with Alpha Omega's newest Brothers and Pledges.
Early Saturday morning, over 40 individuals headed to the Ohio University Golf Course to participate in the First Annual Kace Memorial Golf Tournament (see story below). Late Saturday morning, golfers and Brothers headed to the FIJI House for a buffet lunch. Once again, Janet produced a sumptuous cold cut and salad buffet lunch for those in attendance.
Immediately following lunch, everyone headed outside to the front patio to participate in the dedication ceremony for the Kace Memorial Bench (see story below, right).
At approximately 2:00 p.m. President John Cassese called to order the Annual Meeting of The Alpha Omega Graduate Association, Inc. at the new Baker University Center. After introductions, the business session consisted of a review of events for the past year along with a discussion of the strategic plan adopted in February 2006. Elections were held and the meeting adjourned at 3:30 p.m.
This year, Pig Dinner was held at the Rotunda of Margaret Walter Hall on the West Green as over 170 Brothers and Guests assembled for the annual gathering. A silent auction was held at 6:00 p.m. during the cocktail hour to raise additional funds for the Kace Scholarship (see article below). Pig Dinner formally began at 7:00 p.m. with Symposiarch Nathan Boston '03 introducing the Head Table and asking Joe Willaman '07 to lead those assembled in the singing of "Doxology" and "A Toast To Our Fraternity."
"A Toast To Our Fraternity"
While awaiting dinner to be served, the audience was treated to a surprise viewing of Alpha Omega Chapter's new Rush Video, produced and directed by Alpha Omega Brother and OU Filmography Major Chris Noonan '09. Featuring vignettes and testimonials of several current Alpha Omega Undergraduate Brothers, the video is 5 minutes in duration and provides a thorough and "upbeat" view of Brotherhood at Alpha Omega of Phi Gamma Delta. (We expect to post the video on the website in early Fall 2007.)
Throughout and following dinner numerous presentations and reports were made including:
· Recitation of An Exile's Toast by Ron Sages '73
· Kace Memorial Golf Tournament autographed photograph presented to the Kace Family (Charley, Jr., Lynn and Charlie, III '02) presented by Tony Albanese '06
· Tribute to Jeff Kace '05 presented by Herschel Rush '06
· Remembrance of FIJI Sire Rick Smudz (OSU '75) by FIJI Son, Rich Smudz '07

· Presentation of Recognition Award to retiring AOGA President John Cassese '76
· Presentation of Phi Gamma Delta Distinguished FIJI Service Award to David F. Slater '67
Archon Treasurer Ron Sages '73 delivered the Keynote Address, relating events that led him to join Phi Gamma Delta 35 years ago and encouraging Brothers to take full advantage of the opportunities membership in the chapter affords.
Dinner concluded at 10:00 p.m. sharp.
Many thanks to Pig Dinner Co Chairs John Clark '79 and Brian Reed '09 for a spectacular weekend!
Please plan to join us in Athens April 25 - 27, 2008 for Alpha Omega's 42nd Anniversary Norris Pig Dinner.

Kace Memorial Golf Tournament
Golfers assembled early morning for the start of the Kace Memorial Golf Tournament
Over forty golfers consisting of Alpha Omega Brothers, friends and family of Jeff Kace awoke early Saturday morning, April 28th to participate in the First Annual Kace Memorial Tournament.
Organized by past Chapter President Tony Albanese '06 and Alpha Xi Delta Graduate Christina Rough, the tournament featured a continental breakfast provided by the Sisters of Alpha Xi Delta, golf, carts and a tournament polo shirt.
At the conclusion of the tournament late morning, golfers assembled for a group photograph, which was matted, autographed by golfers and framed for presentation to Charley and Lynn Kace during Pig Dinner.
Over $6,500 alone was raised from the golf tournament to fund the Kace Memorial Scholarship (see article below).
