Fall Kickoff meeting, UNC game updates
Hello Tigers!
It's now less than 40 days before LSU football kicks off the 2010 season! This also marks the start of a new year for the Triangle, NC LSU Alumni chapter, so we will be holding our fall Kickoff meeting in a few weeks. This year, we'll be doing a "cajun pot luck" dinner - not a competition, just good down home Louisiana cooking and socializing. The event will be hosted by our VP, David Pederson, at his neighborhood clubhouse. We might need a few extra chairs and tables, if you have easily transportable folding chairs/tables. If you are interested in bringing a dish or chairs/tables, please RSVP. As usual, we'll also have a raffle and there will be some video highlights to entertain you, including LSU football 2010 "hype" videos and the Saints Super Bowl win.
This is our initial event for the 2010-2011 fiscal year - dues can be paid, and they are $25/individual or $30/household. One new thing we are going to be implementing for our members is that each month during football season (and possibly beyond), we will have a "members only" raffle where all dues paid members are eligible to win a special prize.
What: Kickoff meeting, cajun pot luck, raffle, officer election
When: Saturday, August 21, 6:00 PM
Where: Alyson Pond Clubhouse, 2817 Coxindale Dr, Raleigh

There is a lot of excitement here for the Kickoff Classic game with UNC, and we have a large number of fans from this area heading down to Hotlanta. Here are a few updates on that event:
- First, for the folks who have ordered tickets, they are expected to be sent out in August, but we don't have an exact date. Hopefully they will be here in time to be distributed if you attend the Kickoff party, and if not we will make arrangements to be sure that you have the tickets in your hand on time.
- On tailgating, we have been in communication with the Atlanta chapter, and unfortunately there is not a very good scenario for being able to hold a large, chapter sponsored outdoor tailgate. LSU Atlanta has partnered with Sidebar on Poplar St., which is 2 blocks from the CNN Center.
- LSU Atlanta will be posting more details and a Kickoff Classic guide on their website, so check there for more info.
We hope to see many of you in August and build some excitement for another fun and exciting football season!
GEAUX TIGERS!
