ABOUT THE EVENING
As Doug Lanpher prepares to retire as Executive Director, DKE is bringing brothers together in New York to recognize his leadership and close out his tenure with a proper send-off.
Doug has spent the past 16 years leading the Fraternity through a period of real growth and stability, and this evening is a chance to step back and recognize that work.
THE YALE CLUB
The dinner will be held at the historic Yale Club of New York, located just steps from Grand Central Station. The DKE Club of NYC has long been based there, making it an iconic setting for a DKE gathering.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The evening will begin at 6:00 PM with cocktails, followed by a seated dinner. Dinner will include your choice of beef tenderloin, seared halibut, or a vegetarian option, along with all drinks included for the evening.
Our program will include Tributes to Doug, and to mark the occasion, each guest will receive (2) limited edition Lanpher Legacy drinking glasses.
