Membership Update - 11/12/09

Kickoff for the Homecoming Game vs. LA Tech is set for 6 PM Saturday Night! And what a better way to celebrate the 100th Homecoming in LSU history than to attend our watch parties at Fox & Hound and Sherlock's. Thanks to all of you who supported us last Saturday as that was the largest afternoon turnout for an LSU game at our watch party locations in several years. Your attendance has been gratifying and we are three wins away from a major Jan. bowl in '10. Let's give our team the same percentage support as they have given effort on the field this year- 100%.

Don't underplay the importance of having a break with an easy game before Ole Miss and Arkansas. LA Tech can throw a number of different wrinkles at our Tigers and hope to catch us looking ahead. This team has shown that it's taking one game at a time and their record differencial from last year shows it. Now it's up to us to continue to yell loud and proud Saturday evening. So make plans to be at either of our watch locations by 5:30 for good seats and let's celebrate Homecoming with our 8th vicory of the season. (Remember- we had to win the Dec. bowl last year to achieve that number!) As a head's up, next Saturday's game vs. Ole Miss is set for 2:30 PM kickoff.

Thanks also to the many new email listings that we have added to our growing database this year. As we reach more and more alums and staunch fans of LSU, our passion for LSU is rubbing off on more and more families. Students who had not considered LSU for their next degree are now applying in record numbers from Texas and it's attributed greatly to the enthusiasm and support of all in the DFW area. If you are new to the area, check out our website regularly for update information of LSU and LA happenings. If you have not entered your email, you can do so on our home page and we'll keep you up to snuff on our chapter's events. We welcome your membership in our Dallas chapter and you can apply by using the membership link also on the home page. 80% of your $25 annual dues goes directly to scholarships with LSUAA and since 1/1/09, we have contributed over $6500 from memberships alone. Your support is needed! Can you think of a better win-win than a membership that pays you discounts and scholarships for DFW students at the same time?

Thanks also for the support you've given us with our Texas Tiger Tees, another scholarship project. We currently have all sizes in stock and can ship them to wherever you desire by clicking on the icon on our website. These make great Christmas gifts and that's right around the corner.

Lastly, don't forget about the SEC Mixer being host by Auburn next Thursday 11/19/09 at Wizard's Sports Cafe.  In addition to having a great time with fellow SEC Fans, there will be a canned food drive to help support the North Texas Food Bank.  Wear your LSU colors, bring some canned food, and have a great time!

Cya Saturday night! Geaux Tigers!
