IN THIS ISSUE:
Bonfire Coalition T-shirts Now Available
Bonfire Coalition Project Needs Volunteers
Committee Meeting Times and Locations
Howdy,
The Bonfire Coalition is already active this semester. We now have
free shirts for anyone who makes a donation of $10 or more to the
Bonfire Coalition (minimum $15 donation required if you want your
shirt mailed). You may have already seen the PRO BONFIRE shirts
roaming around campus. I know you want one too! Email
coalitionshirts@hotmail.com or visit our website
www.bonfirecoalitoin.org for more information. If you are out of
town and are coming back "home" for the big football game this
weekend, we can meet you to deliver your shirt, just let us know.
Wear your Bonfire Coalition shirts to the Va. Tech game this
weekend and help get the word out during the football game!
From the Chair:
We need volunteers ASAP. The Coalition is starting a research
project to help strengthen our negotiating position in returning
Bonfire to campus. We are going to contact every college and
university in the country to find out if they build/burn a bonfire
and if they do, how they do it. We need to search the Internet and
get contact information. If you can donate an hour, or an evening
this week or next, please email me at LSullyR@tamu.edu. What we
need are people who can browse the Internet and get specific
information for us. I can provide you with all the tools
necessary. The more of you that help us out, the faster we can get
this project under way. The process has
already been started, so contact me now to volunteer!

Campus Outreach
The Campus Outreach committee will be holding its first meeting of
the year on Tuesday, September 17 at 8:15pm in the back left
corner of the MSC Flag Room. We have much to discuss regarding
events this semester, so we'd like all the help we can get. You
have the opportunity to be a real asset to this organization and
the University as a whole. We expect a good turnout, so please
make this meeting a part of your Tuesday evening plans!
Also, PRO BONFIRE T-SHIRTS will be
brought for anyone who has a donation to give of $10 or more. We
want to spread these t-shirts all over campus so that we can get
people thinking about Bonfire again.

Fundraising Committee
Howdy Ags! This is yet another report from the Treasurer. The
first meeting of the Fundraising Committee will be on Tuesday,
September 17 at 7:30 in the MSC Flag Room. I will be at the
grouping of flags closest to the elevators. I will be
wearing a Coalition t-shirt with PRO BONFIRE on the front and
"REBUILD, REUNITE" and our website on the back. I look forward to
seeing all of you who are interested in this vital work. Remember,
the rest of the committees will rely on us to raise the funds to
make our goals a reality!
Thanks, Gig' Em, and God Bless

Room to discuss the efforts we need to take go get our message out
to the current students, former students and the local community.
Our responsibilities will include publicizing all of Bonfire

Howdy from the Former Students Committee,
Well, now that school is rolling and we have two wins behind us,
its time to start getting down to business. The Former Students is
having our first meeting of the semester, it will be at the MSC
Flag Room on Thursday, September 19th at 7:00 PM. We will meet at
couches around the Corps Flag Display. Something everyone can do
before our meeting to help out the Former Students is to tell
every Aggie you see that the Pro-Bonfire shirt is back and
available to them from the Bonfire Coalition. For a 15-dollar
donation it can be mailed to them or for a 10-dollar donation they
can pick them up
for the Virginia Tech Football game while they are in town. Those
interested should visit our website at www.bonfirecoalition.org or
email us at coalitionshirts@hotmail.com with your shirt size
requirements and when you'll be making your donation so we can
have your shirt ready. The Former Student
committee will be play a vital role in helping Aggies in getting
Bonfire to burn on campus in 2003. See you Thursday. If you want
any information before that or want to know what you can do in
your hometown email me at formerstudents@bonfirecoalition.org with
any questions you have.
Rebuild Reunite, and Gig' Em
