Greetings RDTAC:

The Holidays are officially upon us.  I sincerely hope everyone had a blessed and bountiful Thanksgiving.  The last meeting of the 2019 Year will be the Annual RDTAC Christmas Party hosted by alumni Melvin McCain on Saturday, December 14th, 2-4 pm  The address is as follows:  111 Lewey Brook Drive, Cary, NC  27519.  Please bring a dish to contribute to the party.

Alumni, this is your last opportunity to pay your dues.  Dues are $70- single and $110- couple.  We are winding up our 2020 calendars sales.  If you have sold calendars, please bring all monies this Saturday.  We have had another banner year of excellent sales!  Currently, we have less than 50 calendars available.  If you desire a calendar, please let us know ASAP.  Along with turning in calendar money, the only other business on Saturday will be passing the 2020 Budget.

Tuskegee Alumni, please come out for a little business and a whole lot of fun!  See you Saturday.

Christmas Greetings RDTAC:

This is just a reminder of the RDTAC Christmas Party this Saturday, December 14th 2-4 pm hosted by alumni Melvin McCain.  The address is: 111 Lewey Brook Drive, Cary, NC  27519.  Please bring your favorite dish to contribute.  We look forward to good food, fun and fellowship – that’s the Tuskegee Way!

RDTAC, don’t forget to send in your pledges that were made at the TNAA Southeast Region Conference in August.  Alumni, as we end 2019, please consider donating to mother Tuskegee.  Pledges and donations can be mailed to:  Tuskegee University Office of Development, P.O. Box 1304 , Tuskegee Institute, AL 36087.   All donations are tax-deductible in accordance with IRS regulations. You can also donate online at www.tuskegee.edu/give

We, the RDTAC, would like to wish TU alumni Tom Joyner a fond farewell.  December 13th will be his last day on the Tom Joyner Morning Show.  Tom Joyner was born in Tuskegee and graduated with a degree in Sociology.  While at Tuskegee, he became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity.  In 1985, Tom worked at 2 radio stations – Dallas in the morning and Chicago in the afternoon.  This schedule earned him the nicknames “The Fly Jock” and “The Hardest Working Man in Radio”.  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,
