Well, the Miami game did not generate the anticipated “W”, but 30 faithful fans had a blast at Taco Mac tonight (Pictures Posted). Thanks to all that came to support the home team. Be sure to come back to Taco Mac on October 5 for the Monthly Hangout.
I just got the newsletter sent to Alumni Club Officers and noticed that we were the featured “Club Spotlight”. Check out the PDF. Let’s hear it for the South-Side!
The Georgia Institute of Technology officially installs its eleventh president, G.P. “Bud” Peterson, at an investiture ceremony today. The Institute is using the historic occasion to kick off its efforts to create a strategic vision for the next 25 years.
Under President Peterson’s guidance, Georgia Tech begins its strategic planning process focused on what the Institute will look like in 25 years.
“Georgia Tech has a tradition of excellence that I’m proud to be a part of now,” said Peterson. “Today’s ceremony gives us a chance to reflect on that tradition and begin planning for our future.”
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue and University System of Georgia Chancellor Erroll Davis highlight the list of speakers officially welcoming Peterson as the Georgia Tech president.

A big thank you goes out to all that came out to the inaugural monthly club hangout extravaganza and grand prize game. We had a great time and got to see some new faces. The venue worked out well and should be perfect for all the Fall events. The incriminating pictures have been posted to the Flickr gallery.
So, the winner of the grand prize game was John Christ for bringing three people to the event. He has the high honor of enjoying the GT tie until the next event (September 17th Game Watching) and during the next event. At that time, John will be able to crown the next champion and continue a proud tradition.
For those not fortunate enough to attend and for those that have “misplaced” their handouts, here are the documents that Miller Templeton handed out at the Freshman Send-Off. Wise words for anyone that figures out that “hope” is not a strategy.

Last night was a great event. Many thanks to the Sorrow’s for hosting, Miller Templeton for imparting wisdom, all the people that helped setup and tear down and most of all the incoming Freshmen and their families. This is going to be a great academic school year and we look forward to being a helpful resource for everyone.
As Miller so eloquently put, doing well at Georgia Tech isn’t a mysterious algorithm. Those that exert the self control and discipline required to properly plan their success will succeed. You make a decision to “ignore at your own peril.” Get involved in a healthy community that supports you doing well and you’re on your way.
Go Jackets!

Don’t forget to talk this up as a great way to meet more of the GT community in our area.
Many thanks to all that came last night to finalize our 2009-2010 calendar and feast on Greek Stuffed Pork Loin. This is going to be a great year. Here’s the calendar (I’ll update ??’s as they are finalized):
