Admittedly, due to my school schedule, my attendance so far to the few initial events hasn't been stellar. BUT, I was very much looking forward to having the Around the Horns event come to our area! Finally, a testament to the number of alumni living in this area - the Athletic coaches and Athletics staff visiting us and thanking us for our support!........ except.........the number of USF license plates I see in Miami must not correlate to the number of people who registered for the event! I got an E-mail from Amabel (USF Bulls Club) letting me know as a registrant the following: "Thank you for your support of the Around the Horns event. Unfortunately due to low response, the events in West Palm Beach and Miami have been postponed. However, the Bulls Club plans to visit thearea in July and hope to meet with you. Again, than you for your support of the USF Bulls!"You can't blame them for postponing due to low response! An event like this takes a lot of time to plan, time to execute, and money to make it happen. I bet scheduling is crazy too. I just have a bone to pick with the fact that the large alumni base here didn't register for Around the Horns!!!!1) We MUST stampede Athletics with lots more alumni signing up if we want them to come down in July!2) We MUST figure out why there was such a low turnout of interest! Was it marketing? Was it scheduling?? Was it a low percentage of Miami folks having memberships to the Bulls Club???3) We MUST get more active with our new local chapter to ensure in the future that USF can always rely on its alumni in South Florida to show support!!!!

If you are in the Orlando area, please get registered for the Around the Horns event. I look forward to seeing folks from the message board there.

Lauderdale, West Palm area, I apologize for the cancellation of the event. We've got some work to do.With that in mind, Amabel Aqui and I will be coming down to your area the last week in July to meet people and to get us organized so that next year this doesn't happen and we know well in advance we will have enough people.If you are interested in meeting with us while we are there, we will probably be in West Palm in the morning/lunch and Miami in the afternoon/evening before heading back to Tampa.Shoot me an email if you'd like to sit down with us and talk about what we need to do and what you would like to see. Thanks.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
