Central Florida Chapter Notes
Joint Trustees' $50K Challenge
Our Chapter is in discussions with the Tri-County Florida Chapter (a/k/a our friends from The Villages) to make a commitment to raise $50,000 for a Trustee Matching Endowment. Read more about it here.
New Chapter T-Shirts Are Here!
I know that the new chapter t-shirts are in because Katie sent me one as my bi-annual webmaster bonus. I truly do not deserve such generosity in view of my chronic tardiness and frequent grousing about everything that curmudgeons grouse about.
You know that lots of work went into producing these shirts, which will be a fine fashion statement at any event within the chapter and without, with the possible exception of that black tie fund raiser you're committed to. More details are available on the T-shirt Page and shirts can be purchased at the Chapter Store.
We once again thank the Family Clothesline (PennStateClothes.com), a leading supplier of Penn State branded merchandise, for working with us on this signature item. (For more info, see the T-Shirt Page.)
Alumni Night with the Rays
As we do occasionally, we are taking a break from our Big 10 Kickoff Picnic and
heading west to Tampa to watch the Tampa Bay Rays take on the Oakland
Athletics with other local alumni groups. There are two different ticket
options which will get you a game ticket, an additional freebie (based on which
ticket you purchase) and a free concert after the game by the Goo Goo Dolls.
It’s a great way to beat the heat and bring the kids out to watch our own AL
East Champs, the Tampa Bay Rays! Please see the info page for more details.
WE ARE SORRY, BUT THE SIGN-UP DEADLINE FOR THIS EVENT HAS PASSED!
Football Viewing Parties
We are headed back to Miller’s Orlando Ale House in Winter Park for yet another great season of viewing parties.
Scholarship Committee Activities
For the first time in our history, we did not award a chapter scholarship for the coming academic year due to the lack of timely submissions of applications by area students.
For further information about the Chapter's scholarship program, please go to the Scholarship Program page.
It's Time to Renew!
As we round the corner into the dog days of summer, our sweaty Central Florida brains begin to float toward reveries of cool fall Saturdays in State College. Can Penn State football come soon enough? It'll be here before you know it, so get ready for the season by supporting your local chapter and its many benefit offerings. After maintaining the same dues level since the beginning, we've found it necessary to slightly increase dues, which are still very affordable at $20, individual or family. You can pay your dues conveniently and safely on-line at our Chapter Store. Join or renew now!
