As the days get longer it is a sure-fire sign that Spring is around the corner. The weather is starting to warm up. And what a better way to warm up than doing A.B.A.T.E. things with your A.B.A.T.E. friends. This month has seen Metro really getting out there and staying busy. Did you get tickets to the St Patty’s Warmup? If you didn’t then you’ll miss one heck of a party. Pandemic Rocks takes the stage to keep everyone entertained and up and dancing. The silent auction will have all sorts of goods from many different donors. A bake sale to satisfy that sweet tooth. A selfie station to get that perfect profile picture. And we cannot forget about the free beer. March 14th will be a night for the books. Hope to see you all there!

 

The first round of officer nominations saw many people step up in the chapter and we thank you for your involvement. Jameson has been nominated for another year as President. Benny is accepting the nomination for Vice President. JJ has once again agreed to take on the role of Treasurer. Shannon has been nominated for both Secretary and Chapter Rep. Rounding out the nominations are our Sergeant at Arm nominees, Rob, Aron, and Eric. A huge thank you to all who have stepped up.

 

Donnie Smith is coming up fast! March 28th and 29th at the St Paul Rivercenter. Come see how Metro has updated the booth. This will be a great opportunity to renew your membership or talk a friend into joining. We will have some state products available so your new member can take home some swag as well.

 

As we enter the last quarter of the membership incentive challenge don’t forget to keep signing up new members. Metro was so close to winning the last round for the highest percentage increase in members. And while we may not have won the check, we did take home the trophy for the most new members signed up! This would not have been possible without all your support. Let’s push and see if we can’t take home that check at A.B.A.T.E. U!

 

Metro is in the planning stages for the Metromorial fundraiser! Get this on your calendar early and bring the family! This is a kid friendly event and will once again be headlined by our one and only Southern Express. May 24th, save the date! More details coming soon!
