As the 26th Polemarch, it was one of my most rewarding experiences. I was able to lead the Chapter in its celebration of its 50th Charter Day. The Brothers of the Chapter gave the utmost respect and honor to those who chartered Fredericksburg (VA) Alumni Chapter on June 6, 1969. These were distinct professional men who were committed to serving the community and choose Fredericksburg as the city they would use to do their work in the surrounding communities. From Engineers to Coaches, these men shined and lead the way during a time strained by racial unrest and inequalities.

During my service, as a Chapter, we returned to the excellence, and service which was demonstrated by being recognized both years of my tenure as the 2018 and 2019 Easter Province Medium Chapter of the Year. We followed the 25th Polemarch who set the bar as the Chapter came in second place as the Middle Chapter of the Year.

With much work to be done, it was my endeavor to follow and build on the 25 tenures before mine.  While some served two and three tenures as Polemarch, the 26th tenure was rewarding and fulfilling.

It is to God be the Glory and I look forward to further service to the community with the Brothers as we continue to pay homage to those who blazed the trail for us to to be a service to our community.

Yours in the Bond,

Brother Vincent C. Allen
