Fellow Alcornites,

The City of Houston awaits you. As the fourth largest city in the United States, Houston is geographically the southernmost city offering real Southern hospitality. We promise that the Bayou City can provide you with an experience that you will remember for years to come. In 1995, we proved to you that everything is Bigger and Better in Texas and believe me Houston has only gotten BIGGER. If you are looking for a cultural hotspot, this is the place to be. Whether you are looking for sports arenas, shopping centers, fine dining or a true western experience, we offer it all.

Our conference theme is “Alcornites: Soaring and Excelling in Education.” On behalf of the Greater Houston Alcorn Alumni Association, I assure you that we are truly excited about your upcoming trip to Houston. Visit our alumni video at http://www.videobymcgill.com/Alcorn.html and you will see that “Houston Can Handle It”, especially if you “register early”.

I challenge you to join us for a GREAT TIME IN 2009 at the Mid-Winter Conference, February 26 – March 1, 2009.

Forever true to the Purple and Gold,

Belinda Pilate Johnson

2009 Conference Chairperson
