September 2020 Meeting

9/8/20:
Greetings RDTAC:

I sincerely hope your Labor Day Holiday was filled with rest and relaxation.  The September Meeting will be this Saturday, September 12th at 4:00 PM.  The meeting will be hosted by alumni Gary and Alicia Wiley at 3200 Peachford Lane, Raleigh 27616 and will be in person in the backyard practicing social distancing.  The main items on the agenda are receiving Parade of Clubs pledges and reviewing the 2021 Calendar – both best done in person.  The Agenda, August and June Minutes are attached.  Please note the time change – 4:00 pm.  Because the meeting will be done outside, 4:00 pm is much cooler than 2:00 pm.  If you do not feel safe meeting in person, please log on to the ZOOM Meeting at 4:00 pm.  The information for the ZOOM Meeting is as follows:

Meeting ID: Contact RDTAC for Meeting ID
Passcode: Contact RDTAC for Password

Again, the RDTAC is collecting pledges for the Parade of Clubs (POC), but time is limited.  Attached is the pledge sheet.  Remember, pledges do not need to be sent to Tuskegee University until December 31st.  Please fill it out and mail to Melvin McCain, 111 Lewey Brook Drive, Cary, NC  27519.  All pledge sheets need to be turned in by September 12th – Saturday’s meeting.  Because of the TNAA Treasurer issues, the RDTAC pledge sheets are going to be sent directly to Kymberly Holland, Coordinator of Alumni Affairs and Reunion Programs.  At this time, Melvin has only received 1 POC pledge. 

Lastly, the TNAA Elections are still going on but the deadline to vote is September 14th, next Monday.  RDTAC, please let me know if you have not received your ballot.  I want every member of the RDTAC to be able to vote.  If I don’t hear anything, I assume all ballots were received and you voted.

See you Saturday!

Good Evening RDTAC:

It was great to see everyone at yesterday’s meeting – virtually or in person.  Everyone returned from Summer hiatus revived and refreshed. The club reviewed the 2021 calendar and it will be available for distribution at the October 17th meeting.  I would like to welcome our new members:

1. Irma Quin:
Irma graduated in 1971 with a degree in English and resides in Hampstead, NC .

2. Xavier Wiley:
Xavier graduated in 2015 with a degree in Electrical Engineering.  He moved to Raleigh in June and works in Wilson, NC.  Xavier volunteered to be our club Parliamentarian.  All of the RDTAC Officer positions have now been filled.  Thanks Xavier!

RDTAC, if you would still like to donate to the Parade of Clubs, please email your pledge sheet to Melvin McCain at [email protected] ASAP – see attachment.  The RDTAC has currently raised $8,300.  That amount exceeded 2018 - $5,300.  Great job RDTAC! 

The 2020-2022 TNAA Elections will end tomorrow at 11:59 pm.  RDTAC, this election is critical and whomever is elected will determine the direction of the TNAA.  Please be sure to vote, if you haven’t already.  The RDTAC has and will always be a voting club.

See you in October and Stay Healthy!
