A Letter From the Association President
The object of our fraternity is to promote good fellowship, to encourage studiousness, and to inspire its members in seeking the best in their chosen lines of study as well as in life.
What does the first sentence of The Object say to you? For me, it says that the essence of our Fraternity is to improve yourself, improve your brothers, and improve the next generation of brothers.
In fall 2021 the chapter, chapter advisors, housemother, association board, and key alumni embarked on a process of sharing and listening during which both the alumni leadership and chapter gained some critical insights about our Fraternity and each other. From those discussions the chapter and association board worked to craft a set of priorities to guide the association through the end of 2026. During each of the next three newsletters I will share three of those priorities and provide some updates. For spring 2023 the focus is on building connections between the generations of brothers:
Priority #1 – Minnesota FarmHouse Association is a network of alumni, possessing diverse skills and knowledge, who are willing to share and mentor chapter members through their college experiences. The organization will harness this resource to empower brothers to make powerful connections, long-lasting friendships, and develop leaders from all generations for the organization.
Priority #2 – The chapter will create and actively invite alumni to activities that form multi-generational connections and perpetuate professional and personal development.
Priority #3 – The alumni will be present regularly at chapter activities and actively coach the Chapter in building men in the physical, spiritual, social, and intellectual dimensions.
The Chapter wants you to visit and make connections with brothers of all generations. Your presence and participation truly makes a difference. There are numerous options listed in the SAVE THE DATE section and if you can make more of a commitment your time is needed in small and moderate ways . . . as a mentor, as an advisor in a specific area, or in a formal leadership role. Mark Saturday May 20th on your calendar. With Cleveland Avenue under construction this year we plan to hold a gathering in Central Minnesota – look for a postcard with details.
Thank you to the following alumns; Tim Carlson (MN), Mike Tentis (MN 84), Don Buhl (MN 69) and Kent Horsager (MN 81) for their years of service as they are stepping down from the foundation council this year. Thank you to Don for his future work as FarmHouse Foundation Trustee.
Please consider taking some time to connect with the Chapter and your brothers in 2023. If you need assistance locating contact information please contact Dan Foss at 763-300-9043 or dfoss1986@gmail.com, www.farmhouse.org/members/update-your-information, or contact me.
