	Omega Center & Bingo   Brothers we are in desperate need of assistance at the Omega Center in various areas and capacities. Brothers, the Upsilon Omega Chapter has roughly 150 – 200 brothers throughout the St. Louis Metro area and ANY Brother can work Bingo, regardless of your financial status. To volunteer, you must sign-up and provide your SSN for a background check. The more Brothers volunteer to work, the fewer Thursdays you work. Brothers, we’ve persevered by acquiring the Omega Center, let’s now stand strong and do what’s needed for Omega and help support Bingo. If you truly believe in that promise you gave, then let’s do what’s needs to be done to uplift the Omega Center.     Brothers please contact the Omega Center at 314-385-4100 to enlist your assistance in Bingo as well as assisting the continued operation on our great Center.		Courtesy Happy Belated Birthday to all brothers whom birthdays fell in the month September.   Congratulations to Brother John Wright Sr. on his recent award during the St. Louis Americans, Salute to excellence Awards.     Eric Latham – quenundrum@charter.net Stephen Piphus – quehamed@yahoo.com   If your name does not appear above, please contact Bro.
