Agenda and Event Tickets

We have a full agenda in store for you this year.  There is also a new platform for ticket sales.  Event planners require a firm headcount 10 days before the event.  Reservations and tickets for Charter Day 2024 will be open from March 1 through April 7.  All ticket sales will be through our new event and fundraising platform, https://pktskilodge.crowdchange.co/.  Look for the ticket button in the lower right corner of the house blueprint.  A full agenda is found below:

  • Pub Crawl (Fri Apr 19, 4:44 pm) starts at Ryan's wake and winds its way through Troy before ending at the Ruck.  Feel free to join as you get into town. 

  • Dino BBQ Dinner (Fri Apr 19, 6:00pm)  Organized by Michael Laraia for nearly a decade now, the Dino BBQ dinner provides the opportunity to catch up with many old friends as you get into town.  Contact Laraia regarding space availability and cost.

  • Business Meeting (Sat Apr 20, 11:00 am - 12:30 pm)  Location TBD.  Officers provide status updates regarding the Active and Alumni chapters.  We also elect new Trustees during this meeting.   Terms for several key Trustees expire in the next two years. If you are interested in serving on the Board, we strongly encourage you to talk about the role with one of the current Trustees.

  • Trustees Meeting (Sun Apr 21, 10:00 am)  Attendance required for members of the Board of Trustees.   Brothers at large are free to attend. Location TBD

Active Participation

It has been far too long since we’ve had the opportunity for quality interaction between Alumni and Actives at Charter Day.  It is clear the Active Chapter continues to recruit high quality Brothers and continue to take good care of the Chapter House.  Come back and get to know the most recent additions to our Brotherhood - you won’t be disappointed.  The Chapter House is open this year and all Alumni are strongly encouraged to make their way up to 107 Sunset Terrace to see updates funded by your donation dollars.         

Complimentary tickets (new this year)

The Alumni Board has approved complimentary Charter Day tickets to those generous donors that contribute $500 or more between Charter Days. There is still time for those that want to donate before April 20th. Coupon codes for event tickets have already been emailed to those who earned them. If you have not received a coupon code and believe you qualify, please contact the alumni board directly. This process is not automated however so if you make a qualifying donation between March 19 and April 9, please contact us to receive your coupon code.

Sponsorships (new this year)

Every year, various Brothers purchase food and drinks for the Brotherhood at large on Charter Day.  Many Brothers will buy a round for those in the immediate vicinity, while others have food delivered to the Chapter House.  Sponsorships are a new concept for our organization that formalizes this tradition on a collectively greater scale.  Sponsorships allow event planners to augment available funds, increase the services for specific events, and reduce event ticket prices making Charter Day more accessible for everyone to attend.  Event co-sponsors will be recognized for their generosity at the event.  If you or a group of friend wish to co-sponsor an event this Charter Day, details on the sponsorship opportunities are available on our new event and fundraising platform, https://pktskilodge.crowdchange.co/.

Sponsor Our Private Event at the Ruck - Charter Day 2024

Sponsor the Cocktail Hour - Charter Day 2024

Note:  Sponsorships are independent of donations to the Alumni Chapter.   Sponsorships are a great way to show appreciation for your fellow Brothers, but sponsorships do not advance our organizational strategic goals.  If you choose to co-sponsor an event, please ensure all contributions are in addition to, not in place of, your regular donations to our strategic initiatives.

When: April 19-21, 2024

Where: 107 Sunset Terrace, Troy NY 12180

 

Reunion Classes

We hope to continue the strong showing from reunion classes.  If you have not been back in a while, the event is much more alumni-oriented and is no longer the Actives spring formal.  We are also looking for volunteers from the graduating classes ending in the Fours or Nines to serve as class reunion points of contact for the individual classes. Please contact Dave Fogg directly if you wish to fill that role for your class.

2019 – 5 yr

2014 – 10 yr

2009 – 15 yr
