SBMM Activities

Since both Chris and David mentioned the evening activities, we’re going to put in a plug for the Randy Lusk Scholarship & Activities Fund. Each year the class officers organize a series of evening activities for all of the SBMM students. These activities are independent of the school and not covered by the tuition. The goal of the activities fund is to help grow the Randy Lusk Scholarship Fund. Here’s a little background on that:

What is the Randy Lusk Scholarship Fund?

In 1989, former ABA SBMM class member Randy C. Lusk was killed during a robbery of the Guaranty National Bank in Southaven, Mississippi. His classmates established this fund to remember him and honor his love and dedication to the SBMM. The fund grows each year through your activity fee and allows the ABA to provide at least one scholarship to a deserving student.

This year the activity fee is $89 and will provide you with a very nice ABA SBMM polo shirt, an evening of bowling with your new friends, a tour of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza (this is the old book depository where Oswald is alleged to have shot President Kennedy), and a graduation party on the last night for all students. You’ll also get a $50 coupon good towards attending the 2010 ABA Marketing Conference in Minneapolis this fall.

So it give you fun and helps feed a deserving scholarship fund. That’s a win/win folks! Not convinced yet? Well:

Here’s where we’ll be bowling: http://www.threehundred.com/dallas.html

Here’s just some generic picture of a guy in a polo (our polo will be cooler. Popping your collar is optional. You young’uns may not know what a popped collar but someone at the SBMM can teach you): http://fashion4nerds.com/uploads/2009/01/4_popped-collars_cool.jpg

Here’s some information about the must-not-miss Sixth Floor Museum tour (some of us went last year and it’s an amazing emotional experience): http://www.jfk.org/

Convinced? Great! The activity registration form is available on the ABA SBMM collective X site. You can also get one from me if you need it: mark@haberfeld.com

All SBMM students should send in their registration now as the deadline is April 30^th! You can register after the 30th but you won’t be guaranteed to get the size polo you want and that would make you look like this: http://cdn3.ioffer.com/img/item/102/065/761/CKTD2vbcGFnw6Zu.jpg

Again, register now – the deadline is April 30^th – that’s this Friday!

23 days and counting down.
