John is a dynamite public speaker on topics dealing with the environment. Would you be interested in attending a talk with Mr. Bickham?  Let us know at austinpurdueclub@gmail.com and we will work on scheduling it!

INVOLVEMENT & IDEAS
We need a new Webmaster!
  Do you have FrontPage and FTP skills?  Could you use community/club officer involvement on your resume?  Let us know at austinpurdueclub@gmail.com  if you'd like to be our next Webmaster!  And to make it easy, our current Webmaster, Randy Rieffel, has created a detailed website maintenance document for you! 

A huge shout out goes to Randy who has been an amazing webmaster for the past several years but because he recently moved to Dallas and takes extended mission trips to Africa, he will need to step down.  Randy, thank you so much for your dedication and hard work with the Austin Alumni Club! 

Do you want to be a part of the action?  Do you have a great event idea or are you interested in coordinating game watching parties?  Would you like to be considered for an officer position?  Let us know!  Send an email to:  austinpurdueclub@gmail.com
