Saluki Alumni and Friends,
I wanted to wish you a Happy 2009 and announce three watch parties that will be held at Penn Quarter Sports Tavern, 639 Indiana Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004.
Sun. Jan. 18 vs. Bradley 7:05PM (ESPNU)
Sat. Feb 7 vs. Missouri State 4:05PM (ESPN2)
Sat. Feb. 14 vs. Creighton 5:05PM (ESPN2)
Please RSVP, via email at ryanroseberry@aol.com so I can coordinate for the appropriate amount of tables.
Penn Quarter has been very hospitable to our events and is located halfway between the U.S. Capitol Building and White House along Pennsylvania Avenue. It is also very easy to reach by the Metro as it is located directly across from Archives-Navy Mem’l – Penn Quarter Metro Stop on the Yellow or Green Line.

Looking for Suggestions...
Penn Quarter has been very hospitable to our events and we are very grateful. However, I do understand that for many of us, getting to downtown D.C. can be a challenge. I live 72 miles north of the Beltway in Forest Hill, Maryland, so I allot myself 2 hours to get down there and 2 hours to get back. With long work weeks, and a 3 year old and a 1 year old at home competing for my attention, spending 7 hours away from the house on a weekend to watch a two hour game, does not always make me the most popular person at home. So for those of you who have not been able to make it to the watch parties…I definitely understand.
Therefore, I am soliciting feedback for other locations and events, North and South of the Beltway to host SIU events. My vote for instance, would be the Columbia area since it is located halfway between D.C. and Baltimore. I would also be willing to host an event North of Baltimore in Bel Air, Maryland or South of D.C. in Virginia.
I just need to hear back from you to so I have a better understanding of:
1. How far you are willing to drive to an Alumni Event
2. Type of locations you prefer (Pub, Restaurant, Hotel Ball Room, Home)
3. Type of event you prefer (SIU Watch Parties, Social Events with Key Speakers, Formal Dinner, Theatrical Events, Tours, Block of Seats Reserved at Professional Sporting Events, Etc.)
4. Expectations of a Baltimore/Washington SIU Alumni Club/Chapter
Thanks and best wishes for 2009,

Big Hopes for the New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone! I wish you and yours a great and prosperous 2009!
This year I would like to see us move from a Club status to an Official Chapter with a board of officers. The responsibility for Chapter Officers is not a heavy load. A board of officers must meet once a year and host a couple events in a 12 months period. The petition for official Chapter Status is also not difficult, we simply need to submit a signed list of 20 signatures, and then complete some paperwork, so I certainly believe establishing an official chapter is achievable. (I will send a separate email on the details, requirements, and the way ahead for us to reach a Chapter Status)
Based on your feedback from this email, I plan to host an official formal SIU Alumni Event this spring, with Key Speakers and other family oriented events to launch our bid for a Chapter. That being said, I am an Army Officer continually sent around the globe on a moments notice, so I will require some help from future Chapter officers. So for any of you, who seek a greater role in the SIU Alumni Association during this exciting time of the University’s growth and success, I would challenge you to help give the University a larger footprint in our Nation’s Capital by helping to establish this Chapter.
Congratulations to those of you who attended the SIU vs. Northwestern Football Watch Party! You made the Southern Alumni Quarterly Magazine!! Our picture has become very famous! Unfortunately, no one is paying royalties :)
Finally, I would like to remind you of our Websites below, where you can receive information on Club and University activities:
