I am sad to inform you about the recent passing of Dr. Frank Maturo, better known as "Doc” Maturo. As many of you know, Doc was the Alpha Omega Faculty Advisor for 51 years. He spent countless hours doing his best to mentor thousands of Alpha Omega Brothers. He also did a lot for the University of Florida. Doc Maturo deserves a moment of recognition for everything he did to make UF and ATO a better place.

A funeral service will be conducted in Gainesville this Sunday, December 6 at 3:00 pm at the William-Thomas Funeral Home Downtown. Additional details for the funeral, as well as his obituary, can be found here:

Brothers,

Our annual Founders’ Day Dinner Banquet will be held Saturday evening, April 13th, following the Orange & Blue game. It is always fun, and a great time for fellowship and to catch up with Brothers you haven’t seen in a while.

This year it will be held at the Wyndham Gardens Hotel, Bivens Ballroom, located at 2900 SW 13th Street, beginning at 6:30pm with a cash bar, and followed by dinner and awards. Our Keynote speaker is Arnie Bellini, fall ’76, who founded ConnectWise in Tampa, a business software utilized by technology providers, which he just recently sold to a private equity firm. Arnie’s story is amazing, and I hope you will all join me to hear about it at the banquet.

If you have questions, or if you need a registration form, please contact Tyler Chin, event Chairman, at [email protected] - 904-704-7370 or call Molly at 706-207-8770.

Hope to see you there!

LAMB,

John

It is an incredible honor for Howe Q. Wallace Jr. (UF ATO) to be inducted as ATO National Worthy Grand Master and John Marion (UF ATO) as an ATO National Board of Trustee. These two men have served their fraternity for a collective 84 years, building lifelong relationships and shaping the lives of thousands of young men. Much thanks to the many Alpha Omega brothers who attended the ceremony in Orlando yesterday. Ree Rah Rega!!!!

HOWE WALLACE TO BE INDUCTED AS ATO WORTHY GRAND CHIEF ON AUGUST 3 IN ORLANDO.

Good afternoon Brothers…

Alpha Omegan Brother Howe Wallace will be elected and installed as Worthy Grand Chief (National President) of our Fraternity at ATO’s Congress sometime between 11:30 and noon on Friday, August 3rd in the Ritz Carlton Ballroom at the JW Marriott Complex in Orlando. It would truly be amazing if we were to have a large delegation of Alpha Omegan Brothers there to witness this great moment. Howe is and has always been such a great Brother. Our Chapter, and the National Fraternity, are both blessed to have him lead us during this difficult time for fraternity organizations nationwide.

Please be there if you can. As far as I know that portion of Congress is business casual attire, so obviously a jacket and/or tie would work as well.

Please circulate this email to all Brothers you know who may be interested in attending. Thank you very much!

LAMB,

John

Please see the note below from ATO's National CEO, Winn Smiley, and take action. It takes three minutes...

Dear John (Marion),

Alpha Tau Omega and our inter-fraternity community needs your help.

For millions of students and alumni, being part of the fraternity or sorority community has been the highlight of the college experience. Most men who join ATO find the leadership, friendship, academic and personal growth opportunities offered through our brotherhood to be invaluable. Across the country, single-sex organizations represent the one place on a college campus, where through a shared experience, young men or young women can enjoy a sense of belonging and personal development.

Yet, it has become increasingly common for universities to impose policies aimed at forcing single-sex organizations—like fraternities and sororities—to become co-ed or to impose other membership policies that would violate a student's right to freely associate with organizations of his or her choice.

Would you ask Congress to support the inclusion of single-sex protective language in the Higher Education Act? This language would protect freedom of association rights for college students. Single-sex organizations--like men's fraternities and women's sororities--offer a unique and irreplaceable support community as important today as it ever was. Help us to ensure these organizations and experiences are protected under federal law.

Please click on the image below to contact your US Representative and US Senators to support inclusion of language in the Higher Education Act to protect student freedom of association to join single-sex organizations. By reaching out to Congress, with this simple message, you will help preserve the single-sex fraternity experience for ATO brothers and for our many inter-fraternal brothers and sisters in the future. Thank you for your help.

Good afternoon fellow Taus:

I hope this email finds you and yours well. I’m writing to inform you that Tracie and I are hosting the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity – Alpha Omega Chapter Summer Rush Party at our home this summer. We certainly hope you can attend and would like to encourage you to reach out to other ATO’s whom I may not have included in this email and forward it to them in hope that they can attend also.

Additionally, please take a moment to provide me with the name(s) of any young men who you may know that have graduated High School and are headed to the University of Florida. We are looking for young men you believe to be a good candidate(s) for Alpha Omega Rush in the Fall.

You should know that Alpha Omega is doing spectacular. I attended National Congress where Brother John, deservingly, was awarded “President of the Year” for ATO Nationally. Our Chapter took home the “True Merit Award” along with many other national awards and recognitions.

Alpha Omega continues to thrive on the UF Campus as well. This year, our previous Worthy Master, Smith Meyer, was elected Student Body President. A true testament to the leaders our Chapter is producing.

These past few years, we have extended bids to over 60 young men at our Fall Rush; the preponderance of which attended Summer Rush Parties across the state having already met many of the Active Members prior to arriving on campus. This tells us that Summer Rush Parties have proven to be a valuable tool in landing the “pick of the crop” early before our competition has a chance to meet and greet these young men. Membership from the Palm Beach County area has fallen short in recent years and it is my hope that this party might change that.

Please take a moment to provide me with a few prospects and be sure to include their contact information as well. We will invite them and their father’s to attend the party. Tracie and I hope to see you there. Please RSVP to help us with planning for food and beverages (non-alcoholic).
