importantly as a volunteer surf instructor with the Warrior

who served. He is also a self employed Freelance Artist

Contact him at email [email protected]
House Manager Departs
All of us want to wish our house dad Brian McMaster the best of luck today
as he begins his new role as an Academic
Advisor here at the College of Engineering
and Computing. Thankfully, Brian has
agreed to stay with us here in the house
through the end of the school year while
we search for a replacement who can
replicate his great work (though these
odds are slim).
Thanks to Brian for all that you've done for
us over the past two years!

History Lesson SC Delta Chapter was the 35th chapter of SAE, founded on February 28, 1882. The Chapter was closed by state law in July 1897, and rechartered on October 3, 1927. There are 1,768 initiates. The Original Founder in 1883 was James G Glass of Tennessee Omega. While our official charter date is Feb. 28, 1882, in 1856 a student at South Carolina College by the name of Talbot Adams was initiated. He was sent a charter to start a chapter but his efforts failed. He is listed as a member of Alabama Mu. The Capers family was prominent in SAE.

Brothers Build Homes for Veterans
Jason Brownell ’91 recently founded HeroHomes, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to
providing deserving veterans the pride of home ownership. (HeroHomesLoudoun.org) The
flagship project in the beautiful town of Purcellville, Virginia located in the heart of Loudoun
Valley, represents the first step in our mission to make Loudoun County the showcase area for
homes dedicated to wounded veterans. “In 2015 Jason, was asked to manage a building
project in Lovettsville, VA, for wounded veteran named Tony Porta” said Aimee McGranahan,
leadership chair at HeroHomes. Now part of our leadership team, Tony is a medically retired
Marine corporal who sustained injuries from an IED explosion while serving in Iraq. Inspired by
his story, we founded HeroHomes to help veterans and their families secure home ownership.
The first home in this community is set on a third acre in an established community near the
heart of town.
Jim Evans ’91 of Bradford Consulting Group (Bradfordllc.com) has been consulting with
nonprofits, primarily nonprofit databases, since 1997. He recently developed and launched
the crowdfunding website CloudDonate.com. Jason mentioned HeroHomes to Jim on a visit to
Charleston and the two decided to combine their efforts. Jim donated his crowdfunding and
social media management skills to HeroHomes raising over $5,000 on an initial forty five day
campaign. Jim is managing the Twitter, Facebook and other aspects of the nationwide
campaign to support HeroHomes.
At the first HeroHomes banquet in February HeroHomes announced a $10,000 grant. Jim and
Jason are pictured celebrating the partnership.
For additional information on HeroHomes check out HeroHomesLoudoun.org A second
crowdfunding campaign will go live over the weekend at CloudDonate.com
If brothers are looking to begin a crowdfunding campaign contact [email protected] he is
waiving fees to generate some additional name recognition.
Two brothers combine
their talents to raise funds
and build homes for
veterans
