Sorry I wasn't able to attend. I suggest we have a Tech Night at the Shreveport Sports. General Admission Tickets are Cheap and group discounts are cheaper. http://www.shreveportsports.com/groups.php

We had a good time. This was a pretty informal meeting. The goal was just to find out if we could get something like an alumni chapter up and going STRONG and CONSISTANT. Jdubya was the ring leader of our circus and did a great job. You could tell that he did quite a bit of research to put this meeting together and wants to build a solid foundation here in S'port. He also said that he was only expecting 4-6 people, but we ended up having 13. We were able to through around some ideas and we even had a few members of the alumni chapter back in the 90's that came in and talked about some of the things that they use to do before TECH strong armed them and took over their sucesses. All in all, I think that we'll be ok once we gauge the interest of S'port/Bossier area alumni.
JAB or Jduby should be posting something official soon, but we talked about having a TECH Happy Hour on May 15th @ Fatboy's on Centenary and Stoner.
Next meeting of all interested Shreveport-Bossier Alumni will be next Tuesday, May 15th Fatboys Grill on the corner of Centenary and Stoner, starting at 6:00 p.m.
This is the old Centenary Oyster House for some of you. Come and enjoy some of the best burgers in town! They have reserved a room just for our use.
We will discuss the next steps including a alumni survey, organizational meeting and how La. Tech will assist us in starting and building a successful alumni chapter for our area.
As already stated, we expected 4 to 6, last week and 13 showed up and thanks to everyone who was able to make it. I believe we had a frank and good discussion of what it will take to do this.
We are now focused on the actions to fully organize and we need everyone to tell someone and bring yourself, your spouse and your Bulldog spirit.
I've started a Yahoo! Group for Shreveport Residents. Every sign up and post events, etc.

Just moved to Shreveport and should be settled (sold old house and bought new house) in about a month. I'll try to see if I can join you guys at the next meeting. Just out of curiousity, how many people made the last meeting?
I've talked to a few "lost dawgs" in S'port/Bossier about attending the CHAMPS celebration on the 31st.
A update since last week - Thanks to the dozen who braved the severe thunderstorm that started before we got there and was still going when we left.
The alumni association will soon send a "Alumni Survey" to the over 2200 email addresses they have listed for the Shreve-Bossier area. It is important that you reply to this short and simple survey.
The next meeting will be a Happy Hour/Social that will be the first Tuesday in June - June 5th.
We have set the alumni chapter organizational meeting for June 19th, third Tuesday in June.
We will post the locations of these meetings shortly.
We are scheduling these dates in June in order to work around the Memorial Day Holiday, the Shreveport Champs event on May 31st, and some previously scheduled events that the Alumni association staff has in south LA.
I have and continue to receive numerous emails from both young and senior alumni that are supportive of what we are trying to do - Thank you for the response!
Please continue to spread the word, respond to the survey and forward the survey to as many alumni as you know in this area.
La. Tech Alumni will meet on Tuesday, June 5th from 6:00 till 8:00 p.m. at Cambria Bistro, located at 436 Ashley Ridge Blvd. in Ashley Ridge Business Park (Turn at Outback Steakhouse on Line Ave.)
This will be a social/happy hour event with no formal meeting agenda although we will have some materials there concerning our organizational meeting which has been scheduled for June 19th (Location TBD).
We have a room reserved and if you want to order from the menu or if you just want to drop by and socialize with the interested Tech Alumni, please do so. Hopefully we will not have the thunderstorm of the month as we did at the last meeting - but I have absolutely no control over that.
I hope all who can will make the Champs Event on May 31st, and if you can we want to see you next Tuesday night.
