JULY SYP events

Saturday, July 4th…The Bistro at State Theater, along with help from City Bagel, will be constructing an attempt to break the world record for the largest BBQ sandwich.  Representatives from Guinness Book of World Records will be present.  The event will begin at 5 pm on the Friday before, and the weigh-in will take place at NOON on Saturday.

Afterward, the sandwich will be cut up and sold for $8 per plate with all proceeds going to support the Starkville Police Department.  We encourage all SYP members to attend, but we are also looking for volunteers to help collect money, serve food, etc.  If you are interested in helping with this, please email me directly (gradydixon@gmail.com).

Friday, July 10th…Applications for the SYP Leadership Forum Scholarship are due.

Tuesday, July 14th…SYP July Social at Bulldog Lanes.  $10 gets you 2 hours of bowling with the highest score of the night earning a cash prize.  As usual, the beer cart will be available and Bulldog Lanes has agreed to put out some appetizers for everyone.

Saturday, July 25th…Downtown Starkville Christmas in July, hosted by the Downtown Business Association.  At this event, we will have a tent set up to advertise The Festival of Trees, which was a huge success last year (raised over $20,000 for charity).  We are looking for some people to volunteer their time to help run the tent.  Please contact  Jennifer Prather (JPrather@saffairs.msstate.edu) or Robyn Cain (rcain@starkville.org).

Finally, if you have any events or announcements that might be of interest to the group, feel free to pass them along.  We hear from a lot of SYPers that want some fun events in addition to monthly socials.  Well, if you are planning something fun and have room for more people, let us know about it.  It can be a pick-up softball game, a bike ride, an out-of-town trip, etc.  The SYP board does not have a monopoly on initiating SYP functions.
