Our May Business meeting kicked off with prayer and catching up with our fellow Rams during our ASU connections time. We got a chance to hear some great updates within our Ramily community. Our special guest for the meeting was ASU's football coach, Coach Gabe Giardina or Coach "G". Coach "G" shared a lot of information on the Athletics dept. and how we as alumni can help support the RamFund (formerly known as the Quarterback Club) by donating to keep the football scholarships going for current and future student athletes as well as create more scholarships. The goal is to raise $250,000 (15 athletic scholarships). We as alumni were challenged to start giving locally and corporately. Kudos to Vanessa Willis and Tyreece Echols for executing and completing the nomination and election process for our Chapter officers during the meeting.
