MSU Alumni HSV/Decatur

This year the Huntsville/Decatur MSU Alumni Chapter decided to participate in an new charity event. The new charity event is the Walk to End Alzheimer's. It is taking place on October 1st. We have created an MSU Alumni team, and we are looking participates. The Georgia game is on the 1st, but for anybody who wants to participate, you can donate to the team's fundraising at the following link: http://2011Walktoendalz.kintera.org/huntsville/msualumni

I've had multiple requests for a game watching event for tomorrow so I set one up. I will not be in town so please take it upon yourselves to make sure they get the TVs set to ESPNU, turn up the volume, etc. There is a private room.

Starts at 5:30pm, kickoff is at 6pm.

West End Grill, 6610 Old Madison Pike, Huntsville, AL

For those of you staying in town this weekend, Amy Winberry has volunteered to set up a viewing party for the Mississippi State / Auburn game on Saturday! She has a private room reserved at West End Grill (6610 Old Madison Pike NW # 108, Huntsville, AL).
Restaurant opens at 11am and kickoff is at 11:21am. It should be a GREAT game so please come out and support your Dawgs!!!

And for those of you GOING to the Memphis game:

As has been our tradition for the past several years, we will once again be hosting a Send-off Party for all incoming freshmen from our area that will be attending Mississippi State in the fall. This event has grown over the years (last year we had over 235 attendees) and is a fun way for alumni and their families to gather and give the incoming freshmen of our area a rousing start to their MSU experience. This note serves as an invitation to this year’s event.
