Thank You

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Thank you for joining us for the 31st mid-winter conference. The survey results indicate that the conference was a tremendous success. It is all because of you! For the 347 individuals that registered, I say "Thank You". For those that purchased luncheon, Motown Revue, or banquet tickets, you helped to make all of the events a success. I hope you took away memories that will last until next year's conference in Houston.

Again, thank you and I'll see you in Houston!

D-Day Begins Tomorrow

The fireworks starts tomorrow. We're ready! Are you? There will be more purple and gold in Michigan over the next few days than we have ever seen. Usually we see maize and blue (Michigan) and green and white (Michigan State) with a few other colors in between. But purple and gold will bring a display of pride, dignity, and royalty. Let's show everyone how we love "Alcorn" by showing our colors and our sense of family. See you in the "D"!

2 Days toGo

We're almost there. Sorry I missed a few days. I had some technical difficulties that took me off line. So you will be ready when you get here, I'll complete the schedule of events.
