As you know, Gamma Phi held a Christmas breakfast in honor of Gamma Phi’s widows on December 22, 2012. Two widows were sick at the time and could not attend. Both have passed this week. Mrs. Myrna Dixon, the widow of Brother Jared Dixon (Gamma Phi 1958) is being funeralized today at John Wesley United Methodist Church (901 Benton Ave, Nashville, TN). Visitation is from 11am – noon with the funeral service to follow. She was 91 years of age. Her great nephew is a frat Brother, Brother Kenneth Laws (Rho Psi ’80). He lives in Murfreesboro, TN. You can reach out to him with words of encouragement and UPLIFT at: kennydee569@gmail.com.
Mrs. Lillie Thomas Boyd, the sister of frat Brothers Joe, Frank and Fred Thomas (all deceased) passed on New Years Eve. She was 106 years of age. Her funeral arrangements have not been made as of yet. I will email you as soon as I get news of the services. Mrs. Lillie was a part of the Omega Widows Assist Program and we have helped around her house on several occasions. I have attached a picture of Mrs. Lillie with Brothers on a work project on 10/15/11. She wore her purple and gold in honor of the frat.
Please keep the families lifted.
Fraternally Yours

Members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity,Inc. formed a bowling team and participated in the 3rd Annual CEO’s Birthday Bash, an annual event that raises funds for Big Brothers / Big Sisters (BBBS). Despite threatening weather and lots of rain, thirteen teams showed up to bowl. The event was held at the Strike and Spare Off Bowling Arena in Nashville Tennessee and helped to raise $9,000 for Big Brothers / Big Sisters.Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc, along with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., have partnered with Big Brothers / Big Sisters in an effort to increase long-term mentoring to youth in the BBBS program. Mr. Lowell Perry, CEO of the Middle Tennessee BBBS, hosts the annual bowling event to bring organizations together to support the youth. Mr. Perry stated, “We must help bridge the gap as it relates to mentoring our youth because our colleges,fraternities, and sororities will suffer if we do not intervene now’: A total of $1,000 dollars was generated by local chapters of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity to assist in the effort. Omega bowling team members included Brothers Marcus Ellis, Eric Walker, Robert Slack. Jermaine Scales, and Jerry Blackman. In addition, nine children were matched with caring Big Brothers or Sisters.
