This, that, and some other things...

I wanted to update every-one on where we stand with membership. As of today we have roughly 105 members. This is slightly ahead of last year pace, but is not bad with less than a month to go before football season. If you have not joined, you still have a few weeks to enter to be eligible for the football ticket drawing.

A friend of the Chapter sent the following email about Penn State soccer.:

Hope you are enjoying your summer, can't believe another football season is around the corner. As you know I live and breath soccer these days and I noticed on the UNC website that the PSU men are coming down over Labor day to play in a tournament. I also saw that PSU is rated # 5 and UNC #3 so it should be some good soccer. I thought maybe you could communicate the games to the Alums.

The schedule according to the UNC website is :

9/1 Wake Forest 5PM
9/3 UNC at 3:30PM

So there you have it…it’s a rare opportunity to root for the Real Shade of Blue in this area. If anyone is interested in coordinating an official event please let us know. rcc3@psualum.com If not, let’s call it an impromptu event and fill the stands.

OF LOCAL CONCERN

Northwestern's club will have a professor speaking about transportation at a lunch function on Saturday, Sept. 30, at the Doubletree Guest Suites Raleigh/Durham (off I-40).

Dr. Joseph Schofer, a representative from the Triangle Transit Authority (TTA) will be on hand for the Q & A session. They may have enough room in our meeting for other Big 10 alums who are interested in "traffic" and its solutions.
