September Meeting

​“To say it was a beautiful day would not begin to explain it.  It was that day when the end of Summer intersects perfectly with the start of Fall”.

Ann Patchell

Happy September RDTAC:

I hope each of you had a wonderful and restful Summer.  With the turning of the calendar, also comes the beginning of the Fall season and time to meet again.  The September meeting will be the 3rd Saturday, September 17th at 2:00 pm, as Tuskegee plays Hampton in Hampton, VA on the 2nd Saturday, the usual meeting date.  Please note the date change.  I hope all Alumni plan to attend the game.  This is the closest the team has been to North Carolina in some time.  Below is the 2022 Tuskegee Football Schedule lead by 1st year coach Reginald Ruffin:
