Where Does It End

I have been somewhat critical of Lemoyen Owen fundraisers in the past. One reason being there are so many of them. The solvency only lasts until the next audit comes. At some point or another this institution and others like it, have to become self supporting. As much as their tuition cost. They shouldn't be having financial woes. If only the city employees here in Memphis would give something back. Since so many of them claim Lemoyen Owen as their alma mater. The main discussion on campus wouldn't always be the threat of school closure. Black colleges suffer from a lack of Alumni support. The graduates don't feel obligated to reach back and help. This is yet another well articulated plea for help.



We need volunteers and participants. Please let me know ASAP! The Mayors and city are supporting this city-wide fundraiser in efforts to save the college before June 30 th. We will have a variety of live performing groups, face painting, moon bounce, vendors, step teams, drum lines, fraternities/sororities, aerobics classes, etc. Some of the TV stations and radio stations have committed to make appearances and live remotes, companies and churches have begun to make donations on food, t-shirts, the stage, and monetary gifts, and professional performing groups are beginning to confirm their participation. We are asking everybody in the city to make a donation to the college either at the event or at various businesses across the city through the New Olivet Baptist Church Bust-A-Move Monday (BAMM) campaign. Everything is free to the public and the New Olivet Church is paying for any of the expenses.

Please plan to show up and support as a college in numbers if you are going to be in town on June 2nd between 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. on the lawn. I am assisting with the entertainment line-up and some of the volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in volunteering, participating or recommending a choir, performer, comedian, step team, etc. please let me know ASAP! We need as many students and alums as possible to be visible.

New Olivet has begun to run the commercials. This information should be up on our website and New Olivet's shortly.

Thanks!
