Dear Alum:

It appears that we are losing UT Martin Alumni each and every day. After much thought, meetings, and soul-searching, this prompted us to do something a little different. We hope you will join us as we go back to the OLD School. Events will begin around 2:00 p.m.

That is correct we will be having an Old School/New School Greek Show Saturday,
April 30, 2005. Please share this information with other alumni and friends and encourage them to join in on the fun. (Yes, we are looking for more steppers---just call us and give us your information).

Our main purpose, other than reunion of friends, is to endow the scholarships that we have started. All proceeds from the entire weekend will be presented at the greekshow and will be matched by State of Tennessee at the time of our presentation.

The cost for the entire day which consist of picnic in the quad, Old School Greekshow, Saturday=s party, at the National Guard Armory and T-shirt, is $60.00 per person if paid by April 15, 2005. Otherwise, you will be charged individual prices at each event. Make checks or money orders payable to UTM Black Alumni Associates.
