We ask that the additional gifts be given because you just care and want to be part of the greatest program Alpha has every had; the first time we have worked hard to give to ourselves. So, let's show how the gift of being an Alpha starts at Home, with the building of our new house in January 1990. Also, the winners of the first CAN DO Awards were announced at the San Antonio Convention. The CAN DO Awards were given to the Chapters for their contribution to the Building Fund from the beginning of this drive to July 1989; they were based on how well they performed in putting $$ in this pot. And the winners were: • U-C Berkeley at 340% of Goal • Winston-Salem at 201% of Goal • Western Michigan at 139% of Goal • Georgia at 132.34% of Goal • The Southern Region at 71.10% ($276,038.08) of Goal • Western Region at 86% ($90,084.00) of Goal.
