A big
congratulations to this relatively new club
Bob Brammer has graciously shared his Picasa Photo Gallery with us. Have a look at this link (external link).
"The Green and White were proudly displayed under our tailgate tent," Brammer said. "Texas barbecue with all the fixings was served. The club also sold alumni and Marshall t-shirts, and for every can of food people donated, they were given one ticket that could be used for food and drink. All canned goods were donated to a local food pantry. The tailgate was well attended by Marshall alumni. The local count was more than 100, as well as over 50 who had traveled from Huntington. Everyone enjoyed connecting with other alumni and friends from Huntington. For the Houston alumni it was a little slice of home...meeting and tailgating with everyone from Marshall." The Houston club held a board meeting in January and this is what is coming in 2008–2009. A "meet and greet" will be held at the home of Missy Sherve Boone and her husband, Scott. This is tentatively scheduled for the end of February or the beginning of March. Alumni Director Tish Littlehales is scheduled to attend as well as other representatives of the university. On May 17 when the Marshall baseball team comes to play the Rice Owls, the club is planning another tailgate to be held after the 1 p.m game. This fall plans are being made for football viewing at the SRO, with another tailgate when Marshall plays Rice University in Houston. The club is also planning that every year they will hold a Bob Brammer Fundraiser Banquet to raise money for scholarships. The club members wish to honor Bob as an outstanding Marshall alumni. Also at the banquet each year, the club will be giving a service award to an outstanding local Marshall Alumni.
