2009-2010 Dixie Council Schedule
Nov. 13-15 Southern Region Convention, Camp Rock Eagle, Rock Eagle, Ga. with Atlanta Council chapters
Dec. 4-6 Savannah chapter's dance
Feb. 19-21 To be announced
Mar. 19-21 To be announced
Apr. 9-11 Spring Convention & Columbia chapter's dance
For all these out-of-town conventions we're going to need to know well ahead of time who's going so the BBYO Committee of Columbia can plan transportation. When you sign up for these activities on www.b-linked.org let your advisor know or contact Rob Kriegshaber, BBYOC chairman. There may be times we'll have to rely on parents to drive the kids somewhere so just be aware.
A committee is forming to plan a reunion celebration honoring the Lena Karesh chapter, BBG, the Rabbi Abraham Herson chapter, BBG and the Paul Schwartz chapter AZA. This tentative date is somewhere between 12 and 18 months away. We'll need addresses and/or email addresses of as many alumni as we can identify. Your help is crucial to the success of this venture. We'll need to identify chapter sweethearts and beaus; presidents and advisors as well as Dixie Council and Southern Region officers from Columbia. In 1986 there were 65 people attending the 50th anniversary of the AZA chapter. With all three chapters being honored the possibility of a huge turnout is probable. If you want to join the effort or have documents or photos please contact Jerry Emanuel at jemassoc@juno.com.
We're putting together a brochure in which former BBYO members write a two paragraph "essay" on what influence BBYO has had on their life. Please email your responses to Jerry Emanuel at jemassoc@juno.com.
It's Historical!
