An inspirational Memorial Service paid tribute to all Kappas who passed away during the biennium; a stirring President's Dinner featured seven former presidents with Helen Snyder Steiner speaking as the ranking president- her 27th Fraternity convention; a KappaFair unparalleled where resource people were available to answer any and all questions; a cookout at Mummy Mountain with skit; "Kids on the Block" came to the philanthropy dinner; and an encounter with " Sun Signs and Marian Klingbeil Williams, 0 - Missouri Fraternity President Spirit Circles" at the candlelight banquet are all moments to be remembered.
