The President's Corner:
2000 was a very good year for the Durham Chapter:
My utmost thanks and appreciation goes out to each of you, for the morale and physical support provided to me as your Chapter President.
I commit to serve the Chapter to the best of my God given abilities. I only ask that each of you lend your unrelenting support as we move forward into the rest of our Program year.
We have several key events ahead of us, Touring Choir Concert and May Commencement.
Our major challenge remains to increase our membership base. It is widely known that there are approximately 6,000 known Alumni in Durham and in our surrounding community.
I call upon you to devote your Time, Resources and Talents in support of our Chapter's efforts for the coming year.
Even more important, we need your Alumni support to ensure the stable operation of our Chapter. Visit our web site at: http://Durham_Eagles.tripod.com and keep up with the Chapter activities!
Send me your comments at: rsmith@adsystech-nc.com or jmbrds@acninc.net.
Pledge to recommit yourself and support the Chapter and NCCU.
