5 Things to know on this particular Monday!

Hey SED!

Below is Belinda’s e-mail sent out tonight on the SED Listserv. Some important things on there, you should check it out below!

Hello Southeast District,

Guess what??? Your TBS SED Council just adjourned our first official meeting of the year and we could not be more excited to serve you and the SED!

As you gear up for the last week(s) of school and finals, here are some reminders from your SED Council….

1. T-Shirt Contest Applications! The SED is in need of a t-shirt for National Convention. We need a shirt that embodies what the SED holds dear… The rules and application information can be found on the website, on the issuu.com/tbssed page, on Facebook, in my dropbox (email me to get in), and in a previous list serve email! The application and design are due May 17th! So get it right, get it tight and turn your designing brains on!

2. SED Appointed Position Applications! The SED Council has THREE more positions we need to fill, YOU may be our next addition! Find the application online on the website, the issuu.com/tbssed page, on Facebook, in my dropbox (email me to get in), and also in a previous list serve email! We are looking for dedicated sisters who are interested in branching onto the district level, no sister is too young or too old! Email me at sedpres@tbsigma.org for more info. These applications are also due May 17th!

3. SED Chapter Directory! As we end this school year, a lot of chapters go through new officer elections and officer turnover. If your chapter is one of them, once you elect and install your new officers, please email your updated presidential information to sedsecretary@tbsigma.org so we can update the chapter directory. This is one of the key ways the SED Council can reach out to your chapter and update you on the happenings of the SED. Due soon. 🙂

4. May Calendar! Just like the April calendar, I will continue to send out monthly calendars with SED events, chapter events, and paperwork deadlines. If you have an event or anything to be included in the May calendar, send the information (title of event, location, date/time, category- music, service, social) to sedpres@tbsigma.org by the last day of April- Tuesday, April 30th!

5. SED Takeover NatCon! As per my email last week, the Joint SED Councils of KKPsi and TBSigma would like to offer you the deal of the biennium. We want to organize a group to travel and stay together at National Convention. For somewhere between $300-450, you will get travel and lodging booked!!!! TRAVEL AND LODGING. The poll for all interested personnel (INCLUDING BROTHERS) needs to be filled out by Wednesday, May 1st. This is just an informal poll, however we need individuals who are seriously considering the trip to fill out the form! Once we see how many have completed the intent form, we will decide if this avenue is feasible or not!

Always remember, “it is an honor to be selected to serve.”

That is all for now, please forward this email onto anyone who may not receive this pertinent information!

Have a great week, MLITB

SED NatCon Takeover!!

SED!

If you didn’t get Belinda’s e-mail, it’s included below.
Please remember to go and leave your information at the link below if you are interested in attending National Convention and partaking with the SED NatCon Package! Pay attention to all deadlines!!

If you are interested in any way in traveling with and staying with the SED for National Convention this summer in Springfield, Massachusetts, please continue reading this email. If you are not at all interested, please still read this email and forward it to the rest of your chapter!!!

Your TBSigma and KKPsi SED Councils have been considering our options in order to have the largest possible SED representation in Springfield. We concluded that we need to offer an opportunity to travel in style and comfort (more affordable too!).

We have investigated prices to find the most affordable option for all of us. This is what we came up with:

 
SED Takeover NatCon!

For approx $300-450 per person, we are looking into chartering a bus (or busses, depending on interest) and booking a block of rooms for the SED to stay in at convention. (This price is pending until we have an accurate number of people interested, however, it will not be above $450.)

This $300-450 will get you to Springfield and back, via charter bus, with several stops along the way AND hotel for 4 nights (Tuesday-Friday).

TRAVEL- Our loose itinerary right now is for the bus(ses) to originally depart from Birmingham, AL on Monday, July 22 and arrive in Springfield on Tuesday, July 23. The drive is about 17 hours, but with stops in ATL, GA; Charlotte and Greensboro, NC; dinner and restroom breaks, we are looking at a 20 hour trip.

*If you want to board the bus(ses) at our later stops, no problem! However, your price will be the same as everyone else’s and you MUST be on time to our scheduled stop, we will not wait for you!*

Leaving convention, our plan is to leave Springfield on Saturday, July 27 after banquet that night and drive through the night, arriving back on Sunday, July 28.

LODGING- Our intention is to book rooms in the host hotel, it is a reasonable fee per night, however split between 5 people in each, it will be absolutely affordable! Rooms will not be assigned to you by the District Councils, we will send out a form later for people to sign up as chapters/individuals/etc.

PAYMENT PROCESS- The money and funding from this trip do still come from you. However, if you consider hotel and gas prices driving individually or flying, paying $300-450 for both travel AND lodging is an opportunity that we should not pass up!

This trip’s payments will run similar to every band trip you’ve ever been on: we will have a deposit date (most likely at the end of May), where you will be required to mail us a stated amount (non-refundable), so that we can officially book the bus(ses) and hotel. Then, the final payment of the remaining amount will be due probably a month or so later (end of May ish). All payments will have to be on time, unless previously discussed with trip coordinators. This is NOT, by any means, a district fundraiser, we are merely serving as the mediator to get as many SED-ers as possible to National Convention!

I know this has been a long email, but this is the best method possible to relay all the correct information to as many of you as possible! 

So, if you are interested in attending NatCon with the SED, we need to know! Please take a min. to send us your information via this form—

CLICK HERE TO ACCESS THE INFORMATION FORM

YOUR RESPONSE NEEDS TO BE IN BY WEDNESDAY, MAY 1ST. The reason for this haste is so that we can poll you, then begin to make official travel arrangements for the number who are seriously interested.

To attend NatCon with the SED, we NEED your responses on this form, so that we will have an accurate number of bodies for the bus(ses).

I hope to hear from as many of you as possible! Please forward this on to as !any SED sisters and brothers, we want everyone to have this opportunity!

It’s TODAY!

Since SED Convention starts in a mere few hours, I wanted to remind you all to keep checking your email, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and other forms of social media for updates throughout the weekend. 

Convention is a lot of fun, but it is also a lot of work. Get ready to buckle down and handle our business, while meeting new sisters, electing new officers, and enjoying the bond!
