Please help...please

After speaking with several brothers:
$25,000 is a significant amount of money to commit. Many have college expenses etc at this time. Many don’t know who Mike Patino is. He is ZBT. A stand-up guy. A guy who has your back. He’d go to hell and back for any of us. He did, without hesitation, for many of us. Personally I am sad to say I did not know Mike as well as others. He is like the Blind side. He always protected the brotherhood and the house. He is a big strong guy. He exemplified the values of who we are as ZBT. He is us, we are him. He is you and me.
Conclusions:
Many feel, along with myself, that a donation for ZBT is productive. Especially in honoring a special guy: Mike!
If many donate a little it will total a huge sum…we are stronger as a group.
There were over 220 of us Brothers who attended the reunion. Huge display of solidarity.
We all feel the college stole our (House) home from us
It would be awesome to show the college what they lost in doing so by us all donating now to OUR ZBT
The college matches our donations
We all donate to other organizations already. Simply reallocate.
Our fellow ZBT Brothers (Alpha Nu) benefit solely.
The math: Us Match Total
220 Brothers each donating $250 = $55,000 in year one alone. X 5 years= $275,000 + $275K= $550,000
220 Brother each donating $500 = $110,000 X 5 years= $550,000 + $550K=$1,100,000
Please, I suggest each of us donate what is comfortable no matter if it is only $5 for now. Your thought is the focus not your amount. Next year you can adjust. It will add up. We are all in this together! Think of it as a dollar for every push-up we did. (Or should have done) J.
Andy, Can you provide your address for all of us to send our donations and you can then donate the total proceeds as one single Brotherhood donation further showing the College our strength and solidarity for ZBT, Mike and our present Brothers.
Then we can tell the ‘Berg we want them to build us our new house on the same spot. Not just a “new wing”! A “new house”. Then we can all meet for a beer!
Disclaimer: I have no vested interest in any of the above. I do not have any kids considering attending Muhlenberg, ever. I have no kids who graduated from Muhlenberg. I have not applied to be a Professor at Muhlenberg or to work in the cafeteria.
Enjoy good health. I miss all you guys. I welcome your thoughts and if I was incorrect in anything above apologies in advance and please correct me to all in the group.
Andy, you are up next…Where do I/WE send the donation my Brother?
Warmest regards,
Steve Feit’84

OK guys, I know that over half of you are pretty well off and there were a bunch of us that knew our buddy and brother Mike. I would expect four or five of these $25,000 blocks to exist in his name. Many of us have not given shit to the 'Berg for years because we were pissed at then taking away our house. Now, we have the opportunity to give money to our future brother, have a tax deduction, and screw the "Berg out of matching our money. If we came up with five $25,000 blocks, that's $125,000 the 'Berg would have to fork over to us. I would also like to know if we get to choose who gets the scholarship money. That could be fun. Mike was a big weight head. Maybe, the brother that shows the most gym enthusiasm and needs a little financial help each year.
Again, by the grace of God and hard work our alumni is pretty well off. Lets freaking get this thing for Mike before we are all on feeding tubes and have someone else wipe our asses.

Hi ZBT Brothers of Alpha Nu:
Many of you from '82 and '83 have already heard from me so apologize for the repeat request, but....
Muhlenberg College has a unique offer out for individuals or groups to create a scholarship fund in whatever name the donors prefer. If a donor or group of donors contributes $25,000 (over the next 5 years), they will match it. Thus a $50,000 scholarship would be established in the donors' preferred name. Then each year, a student would be awarded the 4-5% interest on that money (as I understand it). I know it would only amount to $2500 but that may be a big deal to some students.
I was thinking (Brad Strober suggested this many years ago) that we honor our fallen brother, Mike Patino, Class of '81, who was killed in New York just a year after graduating from the 'berg (July 1982). I think all of the classes that overlapped with Mike remember how terrific a brother he was. He had a big heart and was truly loved by all. I remember how tragic his murder was and how difficult his funeral was for those of us that attended. I believe he was the first in his family to graduate college and so I thought our scholarship might benefit some other young person who might be the first in their family as well.
If you like this idea and would be willing to contribute, please email me at an...@nih.gov or at the email below and let me know if you would be willing to give $1000 for 5 consecutive years. Five brothers from the class of '83 have already stepped up to create one $25K scholarship and 3 brothers from '82 have offered. So we need TWO other brothers to make another scholarship. We would we allowed to combine these two $25K scholarships, thus with Muhlenberg's match, have a $100K scholarship in Mike's honor.
Unfortunately the 'berg requests that there only be a max of 5 donors for each $25K scholarship.
The deadline for this is coming up fast and they would like commitments by the end of next week.
Thanks for considering this proposal. Please pass this message onto other brothers that you are in contact with that overlapped with Mike; I have very few email addresses from classes other than '82 and '83.
your brother,
Andy Golden

Hi Brothers of Alpha Nu
It's been too long since we have hung out together. (My opinion) I am hoping you agree that we should have another reunion. We can have a large one with many years or smaller ones.
It can be arranged on this forum or via Facebook (Many of our fellow brothers are not on Facebook) Or we can have one person from each class year be designated to set up an email list they can send with info as a liason to their specific class. Some guys were upset that many of their classmates did not attend the reunion. Maybe the College can furnish a list but they may not be up to date. Linked In etc can be another avenue to search for guys not already on this list. I suggest each person reach out to their personal favorite brothers and get their info to be added to this list and the Facebook group page for Alpha Nu and ask them to join Facebook for our group.
I live in Boca Raton full time. I wish I was closer to you guys.
Let's hear from you...any interest to get together at or near the college like last time? Destination reunion? Vegas? New Orleans? Boston? Scottsdale? Chicago?
I am not sure if this even works anymore.
I'd love to hear from you.

While Steve's thoughts are on the right tract, the scholarship will not be matched by the school unless 1 to 5 individuals pledge the $25,000. What we need to develop is giving to the Alpha Nu alumni fund to help the chapter in way such as finding a new house. What better way to memorize Mike than to pull that off.
Thank you to the bothers who have reached out to help me form an alumni board, I am contacting ZBT national this week and will be setting up our board. If you are still interested, please let me know.
