ARE
YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?
Once again we will be holding football viewings
at the SRO Sports Bar.
Mark you calendar! For our first football viewing will be:
Saturday, October 3, 2009, at 11 a.m. Marshall
vs. East Carolina. We will be selling t-shirts and holding a
raffle.
This year Marshall will not be coming to Houston
to play any games, but the Thundering Herd will be in New
Orleans, La., on October 10 to play Tulane. If you are
interested in going as a group contact, Cathy Ambridge at
281-586-9570.
Your alumni officers are asking you to consider
serving as an officer. Please contact Cathy Ambridge if you are
interested.
Your current board has served graciously for the
past three years. We need your help in order for the Houston
Area Marshall University alumni to grow bigger and better.
We are also looking for more Marshall University
alumni and friends. If you know of anyone in the area, please
send their name and email to Bonnie Babcock at
bonniebabcock@sbcglobal.net.

Saturday,
February 21, 2009, the Houston Area Marshall University Alumni
held its Inaugural Dinner at the Briar Club. Everyone in
attendance enjoyed the social hour, making new friends and
reconnecting with alumni.
Dr. Kopp
shared his vision and goals for Marshall. His enthusiasm proves
that Marshall University has a bright and shining future with
him as the University President. Dr. Ron Area shared his goals
for the Marshall foundation.
Bob Brammer
presented the first “Bob Brammer Outstanding Houston Alumni.”
This year the winner was Cathy Ambridge, president of the
Houston Area Marshall Alumni Club. Cathy was presented with a
beautiful inscribed clock. Cathy, along with the rest of the
board members have working diligently to get the Houston Area
alumni club going.
The silent
auction raised money for our club. Items auctioned included an
autographed football, basketball, an MU quilt and many other
great items.
Everyone is
looking forward to next year's dinner, so mark you calendars
now for our 2010 annual dinner.
