Making
a Brother’s Dream a Reality
Eric McClure (Alabama-Huntsville) has the
opportunity of a lifetime to pursue his
dream as a professional race car driver.
What’s it going to take? Probably just a
little help from his brothers. With a great
opportunity on the horizon, and just a few
weeks remaining, every Sigma Nu can help
this young man achieve his dream.

Brother
McClure to have a shot on a new reality TV show
called Racin’
for a Livin’. The show, which will air on
a prime-time network and be distributed internationally,
will allow viewers to see and experience the high
intensity world of auto racing through the eyes
and mind of the driver. They will take rookie
unknown race car drivers from all across the country,
train them next to veteran drivers and pit them
against each other for a chance at a 2007 contract
to race in the NASCAR Busch Grand National division,
the series just below the NASCAR Nextel Cup. This
is every racer’s dream.
It all began for McClure, a junior Human Resources
major, when he started racing at the age of 14
at Huntsville Speedway. It was only natural for
him to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather
who raced there in the 70s. "I grew up watching
NASCAR and local racing as my grandparents wondered
when it would be my turn. Racing is much more
than a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. Once
I got behind the wheel of my first stock car at
the age of 14, I was hooked," recalls McClure.

From
Hoosiers to Longhorns: Grand Chapter Travels to
the Lone Star State
| It’s
official…the next time our Grand Chapter
meets we’ll be convening in the great
city of Austin, Texas, the live music capital
of the world! Quirky and far from ordinary,
it's the kind of place where you check your
worries at the city limits, trade in suits
for something a bit more casual and prepare
for experiences you can find only in Texas.
|
|
But,
before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s take
a moment to recognize our newly elected High Council
members and the numerous major
award winners announced last week in Indianapolis,
IN. (We’ve got the next two years to get you
ready for Austin!) |

Bid
for Brotherhood a Huge Success
A great time was had by all who attended the
inaugural Bid for Brotherhood (B4B) live and
silent auction. The B4B was held on July 14,
2006, in conjunction with the 62nd Grand Chapter.
James Owens, Executive Vice President stated,
"As our first auction of this type, we
really did not know how many people to plan
for or what to expect. The Committee had established
a goal of raising $10,000 and having 100 alumni
attend the event." |
|
The
Foundation was pleasantly surprised when over 170
alumni and guests attended. The emcee, Brother Pat
Shoulders (Indiana), and the auctioneer, Brother
Boyd Allison (Old Dominion), were a dynamic duo
. . .
