For those that are now at MSU that were at the sendoff party, CONGRATULATIONS!  You are about to embark on one of the most memorable journeys of your life.  We had a great turnout with about 125 folks at the sendoff party on July 28th.  We gave away $4,000 in scholarships and recognized those that won scholarships at our recruiting party.

I’d like to give everyone a heads up on the next major event we’re looking to put on the schedule.  We’re working on getting Coach Stansbury along with some others from Mississippi State here in late September/early October.  Once a date has been nailed down, we’ll post here.  We’ll also shoot to have a mailout to remind everyone.  We’re looking to get some awesome auction items.  As we get more details on those, we’ll post here as well.  Trust me, if we get some of the items we’re looking to auction off, this is an auction you won’t want to miss!

Check out our photos page for pictures from the Sendoff Party.

The Send off party has been scheduled!  Its set for July 28th in the Cheney Parish Hall at the Church of the Holy Communion.  We’re planning on having barbeque again this year since it went over so well last year.  More details will be coming soon, but go on and pencil the date in on your calendar!

The Road Dawgs tour is right around the corner.  We’re starting to get quite a number of RSVPs and we’re filling up fast.  If you’re going to make it and haven’t RSVP’d yet, please do so.  Easiest way is by shooting an email to memphismaroonclub@yahoo.com and let us know how many you’ll be bringing!

Congratulations to the Memphis Maroon Club and Carol Triggs for receiving the Honorable Award Chapter for out of state Alumni Association chapters.  This huge honor was bestowed upon the Memphis Maroon Club thanks to the dedicated members of the Alumni Association in the Memphis area.  Your help has made us what we are today.

The MMC board is in the process of completing the calendar for 2008.  Check back soon to see some of the events that we’re looking forward to!
