RSVP by purchasing your ticket(s) on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at the table in the DeMoss hallway next to the courtyard exit: 1:00pm – 5:00pm
Special Notes:
· If you plan to attend the banquet, you must purchase your banquet ticket. ALD Officers will be selling tickets at a table located on first floor DeMoss in the hallway just before you exit into the courtyard: 1:00pm – 5:00pm on Tuesday, March 29, 2011.
· If you are having guests attend, you must purchase their banquet tickets on Tuesday, March 29th as well.
· March 29th will be the only opportunity for you to purchase your banquet tickets as counts must be given to the caterer by April 1st.
ALD Honor Cords:
· You must pay for and order your ALD honor cord ($8.00) on March 29, 2011 as well.
Note the following:
1. If your Career GPA as of January, 2011, is 3.5 or greater and you are attending the banquet, your honor cord is free; you must purchase only your banquet ticket on March 29th, and you will receive your ALD honor cord free of charge at the banquet.
2. If your Career GPA as of January, 2011, is 3.5 or greater and you are not attending the banquet and would like an ALD honor cord, you must order your honor cord ($8.00) on March 29th and we will notify you by email when and where to pick it up.
3. If your Career GPA as of January, 2011, is less than 3.5 and you are attending the banquet and would like an ALD honor cord, you must order it ($8.00) when you purchase your banquet ticket on March 29th, and you will receive your honor cord at the banquet.
4. If your Career GPA as of January, 2011, is less than 3.5 and you are not attending the banquet and would like an ALD honor cord, you must order it ($8.00) on March 29th and we will notify you by email when and where to pick it up.
A NOTE ABOUT HONOR CORDS: The ALD honor cord is different from the University’s honor cord that students graduating with honors receive from the University. You may wear both honor cords if you have earned them. If you are an ALD graduate, regardless of whether your Career GPA fell below 3.5 after becoming a member, you are still authorized to wear the ALD honor cord at graduation because…”Once a member,…always a member.” Any questions concerning the University honor cords should be directed to the Registrar’s Office.
IF YOU ARE NOT CURRENTLY IN THE AREA BUT WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN COMMENCEMENT/GRADUATION EXERCISES AND DESIRE TO PURCHASE AN ALD HONOR CORD: Some have already emailed me to say they are walking May 2011 but are either student teaching this semester, they finished their program of study this past August or December, or they are Liberty Online student ALD members and want to order an ALD honor cord. You may order your ALD honor cord ($8.00) by mail (if using check) or by email (if using credit card). We must receive your order form by March 30, 2011 and will mail your honor cord to you as soon as we receive the order. Please note we will place the honor cord order on March 31st, and any order forms received after that may not arrive in time for graduation. Please use the form at the bottom of this letter to place your order.
IF YOU ARE A MAY 2011 GRADUATE BUT YOU ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMENCEMENT / GRADUATION EXERCISES AND DESIRE TO PURCHASE AN ALD HONOR CORD, please order using the form at the bottom of this letter.
· You may pay for banquet tickets and honor cords using cash, check (made payable to Alpha Lambda Delta), or credit card ( American Express, Discover, Master Card, Visa) – credit card payments must be made through Mrs. Grayson, ALD Administrative Advisor. Officers at the table on March 29th will take your order and note “will pay by credit card” and Mrs. Grayson will contact you by email on March 30th. We will take your order but will not accept credit card information at the table on March 29th.
· When purchasing banquet tickets and/or honor cords, please bring your LUID Card with you.
· If your graduation date is May 2011 and you are not planning to participate in any of the graduation activities, you may still order your ALD honor cord using the form below and we will mail your honor cord to you free of charge.
Your ALD officers are spending many hours planning an evening of honor and celebration for you to enjoy and we look forward to spending it with you and your guests. Please mark the dates in this letter on your calendar and remember that we must submit our final count to our caterers on April 1st.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Again, on behalf of the Liberty Chapter ALD Officers and Advisors, we applaud you on “finishing well” and look forward to celebrating this great milestone with you!
