Dear SVSU Football Parent Club Members: Welcome to the SVSU Cardinal Football Parent Club! 2011 marks our third season as a Parent Club in support of the Cardinal Football program. Our current Board, along with Coach Jim Collins and SVSU Athletic Director Mike Watson, would like to thank you in joining our organization. It is due to financial support from football fans like you that will allow our Parent Club to continue be a huge success. As a paid member of our Parent Club we are proud to deliver to you the Official 2011 SVSU Cardinal Football Parent Club Travel Guide. As was the case in 2010, this Travel Guide will assist in generating larger crowds at all games thus fulfilling one of our goals “To Make Every Game a Home Game.” The Travel Guide outlines travel routes to all games and highlights local lodging accommodations. Our expert travel consultant has reviewed the Travel Guide to make it as accurate and easy to follow as possible. If you should find an error please send us an email immediately so we can send a broadcast email to our members with the corrected information. Our email address is [email protected] and can be used for any other correspondence as well. Also, expect to begin to see the weekly Cardinal Football eNewsletter publication which you will receive in your email inbox soon. This publication has been a huge success since the 2009 season! We also want our members to send us photos of your game experiences for publication to all recipients of this eNewsletter. This will allow all members to take scrap-booking to the next level! We look forward to constructive feedback from our members to make this a great publication. And as always, we will publish a coffee book bound edition of the 2011 eNewsletter at the end of the season. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. We look forward to seeing you at all the games. Go Cardinals! Susie Lixey Frank Roller President Treasurer SVSU Football Parent Club SVSU Football Parent Club
