Good afternoon RDTAC,

Although I was born in November, my favorite month has always been September.  Why?  Colleges and schools are back in session; the night air is just a bit cooler and its FOOTBALL TIME.  Congratulations to the Golden Tigers for winning their season opener against Winston-Salem State at the Red Tails Classic on Sunday!  It's nice to be 1-0.

I sincerely hope everyone had a nice summer break. Now it is time to get back to work serving Mother Tuskegee and September & October are going to be busy.  Here we go...

1. Our first meeting back will be next Saturday, September 13th at 10:00 am via Zoom.  Please note the time change.  I will be attending the TU vs Jackson State game in Jackson, MS at 3:00 pm.  The Zoom link and the agenda will be sent next week.  
2. Henry and I are working on the 2026 RDTAC calendar now.  The calendar will be sent to the publisher after the club's approval at the October meeting.  We decided to wait to publish until after the following important upcoming events:  

• September 6th - The 1st night game
• September 13th - TU vs Jackson State
• September 20th - The Investiture of Dr. Mark Brown

        I will be attending all the events and imputing the pictures in the calendar.  If you have any pictures to submit or would like to assist with the calendar, please let us know. 
    3. The RDTAC has been invited again to represent Tuskegee at the 10th Annual HBCU College Fair September 27th , 10:00 am-2:00 pm at Cary Academy.  This is one of          the premier college fairs in the area with over 800+ students and parents who attend.  If you would like to join me, please let me know ASAP.  I need to send the       numbers in for the lunch orders.  
    4.The October meeting will be October 4th at 5:00-6:30 pm at the home of Gary and Alicia Wiley, [Contact RDTAC For Address].  Please note the date and time change and mark your calendars.  Again, we will review and approve the 2026 calendar.  After the meeting, we are hosting a watch party for the TU vs Morehouse game at 7:30 pm.  The Morehouse Club is excited to fellowship with us, as they loose another rivalry game.  The game starts at 8:00 pm.  Food logistics will be discussed at the September meeting.

Please visit the RDTAC website to see the updated pictures of your President attending the Southeastern Region 65th Biennial Conference in July in Columbus, GA and the 2025 RDTAC Scholarship recipient-Morgan Wiley.  A special thanks to Princess for stepping up as our new "Hadiya" and Michael Robinson for stepping up to present the check on behalf of Agatha Carroo.  It truly takes a village. 

RDTAC, we currently have a vacancy in the Secretary position.  Amanita Thomas stepped down in June for personal reasons. Amanita did a wonderful job, and we thank her for her service.  Please let me know if you would like to serve in this position.  Again, it takes a village.

Lastly, DUES ARE DUE NOW.  Melvin McCain, the treasurer, is preparing to mail the check this month to the TNAA for all members who have paid.  Dues are $75.00 (single) or $130.00 (couple) and can be mailed to:  Melvin McCain [Contact RDTAC For Address]
       

My apologies for the long email, but we have been on vacation for 3 months.  


See you next Saturday!
