Province 29 Alumni Newsletter
From The Desk Of The Province Alumni Coordinator, Jacob Martin:
As the semester winds down, I want to take a moment to congratulate our active brothers on a successful term. Your dedication to advancing the cause of music and brotherhood is inspiring and continues to strengthen the bonds of our Sinfonian community. To all brothers, active and alumni alike, I wish you a joyful and restful holiday season. May this time bring you peace, renewal, and harmony as we prepare for the opportunities ahead in the coming year.
Province Treasurer and Music Director:
Province 29 is actively seeking brothers to fill two important roles: Province Treasurer and Province Music Director. If you are interested in filling either of these roles or contributing to the Province in any way, please reach out to Dan Krueger at daniel.krueger1975@gmail.com. Your involvement can help shape the future of Province 29 and strengthen our collective impact as Sinfonians.
Successful Rituals:
UW-Stevens Point and UW-Platteville each had initiations in December. Congrats on a successful ritual and welcome new brothers to our fraternity!
Helping Hands at Camp Randall:
Brothers from Xi Omicron recently came together to raise funds for their chapter by tackling the task of removing and packing seat backs used by season ticket holders at Camp Randall Stadium. The physically demanding work was no small feat, with many steps logged throughout the day. Despite the challenge, the brothers found the experience rewarding—not only in supporting their chapter but also in enjoying the atmosphere of the iconic stadium.
Biking For A Cause:
This October, Brother Kory Petersen pedaled an incredible 100 plus miles to support Phi Mu Alpha's 1898 Forward campaign! His determination, along with the generosity of many other donors, have propelled Province 29 to an impressive 3rd place nationally in campaign contributions. Thank you, Kory, and all who supported this initiative, for embodying the spirit of brotherhood and commitment to Phi Mu Alpha's future. Together, we are truly advancing the cause of music and brotherhood!

Sinfonian Spotlight:
As we celebrate the bonds of brotherhood that unite us to end the year, we also want to take time to reflect on the brothers who have passed onto their Final Chord. This year, Province 29 mourns the loss of these Sinfonians:
Dr. Robert K. Webb, Alpha Xi (Illinois) '47
Frank Ferriano, Xi Pi (Wisconsin-Whitewater) '72
Robert "Bob" A. Britt, Xi Pi (Wisconsin-Whitewater) '87
Benjamin R. Leon, Xi Pi (Wisconsin-Whitewater) '96
Trent J. Jacobs, Gamma Zeta (Lawrence) '00
Dr. Charles ("Skip") A. Grover, Eta Lambda (Minnesota State-Moorhead) '60
Their contributions to the brotherhood and the cause of music have left a lasting impact on our province. We extend our deepest condolences to their families, friends, and fellow brothers.
If there are brothers who have passed that we may not yet know about, we invite you to share their names with us so that we can honor their memory appropriately. Please send any information to Jacob Martin at jm207049@gmail.com. As we move forward, let us carry their spirit with us in harmony and fellowship, striving to make music and brotherhood a force for good in the world.
