2008 Annual Crawfish Boil
This year is going to be an exciting year for our Club. We have the Annual Crawfish Boil coming up on April 26th, 2008 at Oak Mountain State Park. Our guests this year will be the director of The Golden Band from Tiger Land, Dr. Frank Wickes and football coach, Josh Henson. The deadline to confirm your reservations for the Crawfish Boil is Friday, April 18, 2008. We must have your request and money in by that date. Again, we will be unable to take any reservations without payment. I know this is a change for some of you and I do apologize. However, the Board felt this was a necessary step in order to better control the costs of the event. It is our goal to hold the best possible event at the lowest cost to the membership. No shows and no pays have actually cost the chapter in prior years, thus driving up costs for subsequent events.
We will have lots of LSU items for auction and raffle in addition to a number of clothing items for sell. Feel free to bring the bikes for the kids. There is lots of room to ride and play.
Freddie Luft MemorialOver the years, the Greater Birmingham LSU Alumni Chapter has supported the university through contributions to the LSU Alumni Scholarship Fund. Currently, our chapter has one endowed scholarship through the Alumni Association.As a memorial to our long time friend, alumnus, and fellow board member Freddie Luft, we are asking all friends and members of the chapter to consider a donation to the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student Athletes. Tomas Jimenez, Executive Director, was our guest at the annual Fish Fry held in October. Tomas explained the purpose of the center and shared several success stories of how the center has made an impact in the lives of the athletes and the community. Freddie was one of the greatest fans of LSU sports. Additionally, Freddie was truly a scholar and a valued leader in the chapter. Of all the giving options available through the university, we thought the Academic Center for Student Athletes was the closest thing to Freddie’s passions of LSU sports and academia. Attached is a brochure from the Academic Center. Please review the information and consider what you may be able to contribute in memory of Freddie. These contributions are handled through the LSU Foundation. The contributions should be mailed directly to Tomas at the address shown on the brochure. If your employer is a “matching gift” company, please capitalize on the opportunity to increase the contribution to the university. If you are unable to download the form or have any questions regarding the program or memorial, please call or email Barry Thomas at barrythomas1708@hotmail.com, or 205-426-7660.
