Dear family and friends, The gentlemen of Phi Sigma Kappa warmly invite you to join us for our Annual Parents/Family Day Celebration and Auction. We want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your ongoing support and involvement in your family member's fraternity experience. Without your support, our fraternity would not continue to thrive. As we embark on an exciting year ahead, we are fully committed to our studies and chapter operations. The Annual Parents/Family Day Celebration and Auction will take place on the specified date, beginning with a reception at 11:00 a.m. at 1300 Blackhawk Road, IL. This reception will be an excellent opportunity for you to meet current members, new members, and their families. Around noon, we will serve a catered lunch, partly provided by Anyway's Pub Restaurant & Banquets (5 East Roosevelt Road Oakbrook Terrace, IL - anywayspub.com). It's worth noting that the restaurant is owned and operated by George Lamberis, a Phi Sig alumnus (class of 1988). The fraternity will provide beverages and appetizers, and we kindly request each family to bring a dish to share that complements the main entrees. To ensure variety, we ask families of different class levels to contribute specific types of dishes: Freshmen and sophomores: Appetizers (chips, dip, deviled eggs, etc.) Juniors: Dishes to pass (potato salad, pasta salad, etc.) Seniors: Desserts (cookies, cakes, pies, etc.) We strongly encourage all families to bring an additional dish that represents their family's specialty and celebrates our ethnically diverse membership. For instance, dishes like Pasta PrimaVera, Curry Chicken, Puerto Rican Rice, Empanadas, Matzah Balls, Ceviche, Kabobs, Schnitzel, Perogies, Plantains, Shepherd's Pie, etc. Any contribution to the meal will be greatly appreciated. We do love to eat! Following lunch, we will proceed with the day's entertainment, which is our fraternity's auction. This auction aims to raise funds for the Phi Sigma Kappa Foundation, the NIU Foundation, and the City of DeKalb. We kindly request each family to bring at least one item to be auctioned off. The value of the items is not the primary focus; rather, it's the proceeds that will directly impact our ability to give back. In the past decade, this auction has raised over $35,000 for the aforementioned organizations. Please note that 100% of the net profit is donated. Examples of donated items from previous years include shirts, jackets, Phi Sigma Kappa-branded items, bar stools/tables/chairs, fine wine and spirits, electronics, tickets to sporting events, gift certificates, weekend getaway packages, care packages, and anything that you think would be of interest to bid on. The auction is always highly entertaining, and we encourage you to stay for the entire event. The Parents/Family Day celebration and auction are scheduled to conclude at approximately 4:00 p.m. To assist with planning the event, we kindly request that everyone respond to this invitation no later than 9 days before the event. Please include the number of people planning to attend (father, mother, brother, sister, and other friends and family members). You can RSVP through the provided link (preferred) or call: (815) 977-7560 ext. 29. For more information about our fraternity, please visit our website. Once again, we sincerely thank you for your time, and we eagerly look forward to seeing you. Sincerely, Parents/Family Day Chairmen Parentsday@pskniu.org 815.977.7560 x29
