2. Saturday Night Event Theme "Sports Under the Sea"

For those who have not experienced the Saturday Night Event at one of the past two National Conventions, you are in for a treat! We have contracted with Landmark Events, a special program company based in St Louis, to produce the final, fun night at Convention, and they have been spectacular! They will create a fun-filled set of big games like mechanical surfing, air mattress twister, bungee challenges, and others, plus a terrific DJ and theme decorations which will really make the night something special! Check the schedule and see you there!

3. Convention Reminders

1. Check out the 2003 National Convention T-Shirt and download the order form at http://www.kkytbs.org/2003natconv.html#TShirt. Orders must be postmarked by June 30 in order to guarantee delivery by convention

2. Make your Hotel reservations at the Renaissance Portsmouth at 1-757-673-3000, or by calling the Marriott reservation center at 1-800-228-9290. Request a room in the 'Kappa Kappa Psi block,' or reference Market Code 'KKN'.
