Omega Center

The Upsilon Omega chapter has officially taken occupancy of the old UAW Hall. The chapter has renamed the facility, The Omega Center. The address is 3900 Goodfellow (63120).  Please stop by and visit the new facility. In addition to acquiring the new facility we have also acquired a new monthly note, we are requesting that all available brothers return to the fold and pay your dues and assessments, if you need to know the amounts, please see dues section above. The facility will house a number of offices, conference rooms, banquet halls, kitchens and soon a small club, for fraternity, public and private use. For more detailed information contact Bro. James Trimble at the Omega Center at 314-385-4100, or just stop by. 

 

Brothers now that the facility is in use and operational we need to promote the Omega Center for use to the public. The community needs to know that we are here to serve their needs, brothers it is your duty, your obligation to let the public know that we exist. The Management is in the process of putting together the Grand Opening, even though the ball is in motion, we are needed to promote the Center as well.

 


 Mardi gras

Also tickets for next year’s annual Mardi gras celebration will also be available for purchase through William Munson or Eric Latham. Mardi Gras will be held at the New Omega Center.

 

Canned Food Drive

Brother Chris LaGrone continues to chair Upsilon Omega’s canned food drive.  This is an ongoing program that is essential for the non-profit status of the Foundation.  Brothers are reminded to bring a canned good to the Fraternity house on Wednesdays and Fridays.  Brother LaGrone will donate the canned goods to a local food pantry periodically throughout the year.
