March has brought some early rain to the Capital of the South and most of us here are hoping that warm weather is also just around the corner. We just finished a great Dark Ages and Founders Day Dinner and Dance and photos have been or soon will be posted to the website for review.
Here, we’re all looking forward to spring and Braves baseball. And if it’s spring, the Annual ICOF, Alumni Chapter and Class Presidents Meeting in Annapolis, is only about 2 months away. There will typically be around 100 attendees and it’s a chance for Alumni officers to talk about what works and doesn’t work for alumni at the Chapter level and pick up new ideas to bring back home. We also have a chance to connect with the staff at the Alumni Association to get updates on member activities and services. This is also our opportunity to get answers to some of the questions and concerns from our local constituents. So, If you have any questions send them to president@atlanta.usnaaasiteadmin.net as soon as possible.
Another upcoming event is the Annual Army/Navy Golf Tourney at FT. McPherson. This is the last year we will be at FT Mac, so everyone who has any affinity for Golf should participate. It’s a fun time and Navy has dominated Army in this tourney over the years so Army is probably going to bring some ringers, so we need all of our ringers to show up too. Check atlanta.usnaaasiteadmin.net for all the info and to register.
Of course I can’t talk about spring activities and not talk about the Annual Lobsterfest on June 4th. Based on early inquires, we may set records this year for attendance. So, keep a close eye on your email and the website for announcements for reservations starting about mid-month in April. We always have a great time and this year should be no exception.
Have a great Spring and plug-in at atlanta.usnaaasiteadmin.net to stay informed, in-touch and in-play at the Alumni level.
Go Navy!!
