NEWS (updated:20 June 2008)

- Big 10 Nite at the Dayton Dragon: We are once again participating in the Big 10 night
at the Dayton Dragons game. The game is July 26th, at 7:30pm against the Kane County
Cougars (A-team for the Oakland A's). Our ticket price will be $13, as last year.
Proceeds go to the UM scholarship fund. Each ticket holder will get a seat in the box
seats in LF and a cap from the Dragons. Orders must be accompanied by a large self
addressed stamped (42 cents-- note the postage increase) envelope and a check payable to
'UM Club Dayton'. Send to:

Lois Harris
1178 Latchwood Ave.
Dayton, OH 45405.

Tickets will be mailed to you approximately 2 weeks before the game. Questions, etc. may
be sent to me at loisharris@aol.com with "Dragons tickets" on subject line. (Without
that, I will not open an email from an unfamiliar address.) Be aware, the game this year
is the same weekend as the Dayton Celtic Festival, so it should be a fun, but busy,
downtown!

- CLUB GOLF OUTING: We will have a scholarship golf outing at Pipestone Golf Club on
August 2nd, at 1:30pm. If you'd like to sign up a foursome or just by yourself, please
email BT Cesul (btcesul@umich.edu) or Sean Merrill (sdmerrill@yahoo.com) to reserve a
spot. The cost will be $60 per person and include golf, cart, food, and prizes with
proceeds going toward our club scholarship fund.

- DISCOUNTS FOR MICHIGAN ALUMS AT CINCY TENNIS TOURNEY: Join other University of Michigan
Alumni for this special cocktail reception prior to the best tennis in the world. Great
music will be provided and there will be visits from the stars of the ATP Tour. Price
includes reserved ticket to matches, two drink tickets (beer, wine or soft drinks),
complimentary wine tasting provided by Wolf Blass & plenty of hearty hors d?oeuvres. The
date for this event is July 30th, with the reception from 5-7pm and the first match at
7pm. Tickets for this are $27 - $52 and can be ordered using the order form attached to the email. If you didn't get the email, contact BT (btcesul@Umich.edu, 937-469-4178)

- ANNUAL PICNIC: Our annual picnic is scheduled for August 10th at Rona Hills Park from 12-4pm in Fairborn off of I-675. Details will be sent out in July, but mark your calendars for a fun afternoon.

- Group football tickets: Payment instructions will be sent out in July via email, and
once paid for, the tickets will be sent out approximately 2-3 weeks before that game. Due
to construction issues at Michigan Stadium, overall seating has been reduced, but NO
WORRIES! We got all out tickets we requested. If you have tickets for a game that you're
not going to be able to use, we'll have a posting on the website for you to list your
tickets available and contact information starting in August.

- Scholarship Competition: We have finally received the list of students who paid their
security deposits to Michigan. Letters and application packets will be sent out to those
students by the end of June. Interviews will be held in July.

- Glee Club Concert: We tried and tried, but couldn't get a date that fit the calendars
of the Glee Club and our concert venue. We have made arrangements for the Mens Glee Club
to come to Dayton for the 2010 tour schedule and as soon as we get a date reserved, we'll
let you know.

 
Alumni High School Recruiters

The University uses local alumni to recruit high school students to UM for regions outside SE Michigan. Dayton has been a strong area for developing future Wolverines, and the Alumni High School Recruiting Program needs your help! If you can volunteer some time every school year to visit a local high school to drop off materials, be available for prosepctive students to ask questions about admissions or the U in general, and occasionally participate in a college fair if you choose, then we need you! A list of prospective high schools that do not have recruiters for next year are listed below.

Dayton area high schools in need of recruiters (not all HS's listed- only those that have had applicants in the past two years and do not have a recruiter assigned already):

Alter HS (Kettering)

Kettering Fairmont HS

Miami Valley School (Dayton)

Oakwood HS

Please contact BT Cesul (btcesul@umich.edu, Subject: "UM alumni recruiting") for more information and to sign up. And remember, "Friends don't let friends (or their children) become Buckeyes / Spartans / Nittany Lions / Bearcats / Hoosiers / Boilermakers, etc."
