Good Sunday RDTAC:
Yesterday’s meeting was very productive as we received updates on the TNAA and most importantly, each other and our wellbeing. Here is a follow up to yesterday’s meeting. Wells Fargo cannot accept Zelle payments because our account is a small business account. During the summer hiatus, Melvin will research other ways for the RDTAC to receive money. Melvin will also move forward with getting the RDTAC its own 501(c)(3) status. This has been discussed in several past meetings. Attached is the list of Tuskegee Alumni Clubs that signed on to the letter requesting the TNAA Executive Board adhere to the Bylaws, just as they would expect the Clubs to do. RDTAC, the election ballot is scheduled to be either mailed or emailed to eligible voters in August and need to be received by September 14th. As stated in the meeting, the 2020-2022 election is crucial as the results will determine what direction the TNAA will go. We will meet, via conference call, on August 29th at 2:00 pm to discuss how the RDTAC will vote. Please mark your calendars. Have a great summer! Alicia F. Wiley President, Raleigh-Durham Tuskegee Alumni Club (RDTAC) aliciawiley@live.com C (919) 270-6114 H (919) 266-9522

Tom has been a big supporter of Tuskegee University and HBCUs as a whole. Since 1998, the Tom Joyner Foundation has raised more than $65 million to help students enrolled in HBCUs. Upon retiring, Tom declared, “… for the next two years we’re going to reminisce, go down Memory Lane and talk about all the things we’ve done for the past 25 years”. Farewell Tom! See you Saturday,

“It’s a bird! It’s a plane!” It’s the T-7A Red Hawk and it’s the name of the Air Force’s next-generation training jet. The name pays tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black military aviators who flew during World War II as part of the Army Corps, the precursor to the U.S. Air Force. The Tuskegee Airmen were known as “Red Tails” due to the red paint on their aircraft. The RDTAC is proud to dedicate the 2020 calendar to these prestigious men in American history. TU Alumni, calendars were distributed at the September meeting. At this point, we have already sold 100. RDTAC, please continue to sell calendars. Calendars are the RDTAC’s signature fundraiser, with proceeds going towards our endowment fund and scholarships. If any alumni need more calendars or would like to receive any, please contact Henry Wall – (919) 264-7259. We will have an update of inventory and calendar sales at the October meeting . . .
