Fallfest scheduled for Sept. 12, 2009
Alumni from the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES)--including all ag, environment and natural resources, and ATI graduates--will be invited to participate in Fallfest 2009 when the Buckeyes will play their second game of the season against the University of Southern California Trojans. Game time has been announced as 8:00 p.m. We will meet in the French Field House three hours before game time for dinner, the annual silent auction for the CFAES Alumni Society Scholarship Endowment, fine fellowship with friends from years gone by, and of course the Buckeyes vs. Trojans contest in the stadium. We are participating again this year with the university-wide Reunion Weekend. Watch for the details in the summer issue of Continuum coming to you in early summer.
Game tickets will only be available to those alumni who are graduates of the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences and are dues-paying members of The Ohio State University Alumni Association, Inc. Tickets must be purchased with our tailgate event. You are limited to two tickets per household, not per membership. It is our desire to maximize the number of alumni who can attend Reunion Weekend. The person purchasing the tickets must be the person who uses the tickets. Anyone caught reselling their tickets may lose future rights to purchase football tickets through the Alumni Association and our society.
Alumni who receive season tickets via President's Club, Buckeye Club, Faculty/Staff, Varsity O Men football, the Alumni Association's lottery, or long-time season ticket purchase holders WILL NOT be eligible to receive tickets through the Society Reunion Weekend, but we hope you will join us for the tailgate. All applications will be double-checked with university databases to ensure compliance with this policy. We expect the demand for this game to exceed our supply and thus a lottery will be held to determine the ticket allocation. More details will be announced as we confirm all information for Reunion Weekend '09.
In the meantime, reserve your Sept. 11-13 weekend now, and plan to be with us for Reunion Weekend and CFAES Fallfest. GO BUCKS!
