It was a sweet time to spend the Holidays with my family in Vancouver. The weather was glorious, the services meaningful, the shofar’s call to action – inspiring, and the sharing with family and friends satisfying. It was “sweet” to spend some time with Alpha Omega’s largest chapter in Toronto. toronto I had the opportunity to meet with the new dean of the University of Toronto dental school, Dr. Daniel Haas, plus enjoyed lunch with over 40 Pi chapter students. Led by their outstanding chapter president Bonnie Chandler, the Fraternity Night dinner was a success with over 315 fraters in attendance. toronto continUED on nEXt PAGE www.ao.org a l p h a o m e g a | a o n o w 1
