Four dues-paying members of the RAC (myself, Nick McDaniel, Jason Sensibaugh, and Josh Adams) have submitted a request in writing to me, the RAC Secretary, to call a special meeting of RAC members, pursuant to RAC By-Laws Art. 3, Sect. 2.  The date is October 6, 2007, at 12 PM (time subject to change), at the fraternity house at 145 Sunset Terrace. This message is being sent out more than 10 days prior to the meeting date ( Art. 3, Sect. 2).  There are four general points of business on the agenda for this meeting; only this business will be considered.

• The present active membership (in terms of numbers, individual brothers/pledges, and divisions) and its effects on the alumni corporation
• Ideas for RAC support of the Active Chapter
• Clarification and definition of boundaries between RAC and the Active Chapter
• RAC plans to aid in rebuilding Active Chapter membership

You must be a dues-paid alumnus to have a vote at this meeting if any matters are voted on.  Proxy voting is discouraged by Robert's Rules of Order, but is allowed by the RAC By-Laws ( Art. 3, Sect. 4).  Quorum at this meeting is defined as one-third of dues-paid members or nine dues-paid members, whichever is less (Art. 3, Sect. 3).

The website BitterOldMen.com was started by two early-2000s graduates a couple years ago as a way for alumni of that era to keep in touch as we disbursed across the country following graduation. The site has seen very limited activity lately, and we've decided to try to get more Rensselaer Acacians using it. We've started decade-specific forums and would love to see some of the older alumni sign up and keep in touch with their fellow Acacians. Visit BitterOldMen.com now and sign up for an account.

Please note that the dues payment address has been updated. Ian has moved and payments by check should be sent to the address in Summit, NJ now listed on the Alumni Dues page. Please remember that Paypal is also an option for those of you who don't want to use snail mail.
