A Message from City Councillor Marvin Rotrand
Greetings to the Sigma Upsillon Upsillon Lambda International Service Fraternity and Sorority Montreal Chapter
Permit me to send warm greetings and my best wishes for success to the Montreal Chapter of the Sigma Upsillon Upsillon Lambda International Service Fraternity and Sorority as your members gather today to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the founding of your organization as an independent chapter .
Please assure that this message is shared with the members and friends of your chapter with my congratulations on their continued handwork to give meaning to the cherished principles of your service organization .
Your fraternity and sorority traces its roots to 1973 when a group inspired by community service and helping those in need gave birth to the first chapter in Mindanao , Philippines . The organization is non-profit , nonsectarian open to all regardless of race or creed , and has worked to promote social solidarity extending a helping hand to those in need with an emphasis on assuring academic success .
The Montreal Chapter while only three years old has already distinguished itself through sponsoring scholarship grants , donating to disaster relief and working to combat homelessness in our city . The members have given generously in both time and money to give concrete meaning to the words community service .
I trust that tonight ' s event will be a memorable one and inspire the chapter to even greater success in the future .
Warm regards ,
Marvin Rotrand City Councillor - Snowdon City of Montreal
