Reminder that BSU Orientation include a downtown visit 22 times this summer for 90 minutes each. What happens once they're shuttled over here is up to us. If you'd like to get in on the planning (banners? balloons? footprints painted on sidewalks? brochures?), or have a great idea, please contact Genny Gordy, gengor@aol.com.
Time to think about flowers again. Does anyone have info on the flower planters we rented last year? It would be great to acknowledge our best flower beds/displays this year. Do we want to promote a color scheme, say, red and white? Comments welcome! If you'd like to serve on a wee committee for this, please contact Genny Gordy, gengor@aol.com
New on Saturday at Walnut at the Crossing - Danish rolls, many flavors.

Legendary Southern rock band Lynryd Skynyrd will headline this year's "Summer Jam". Johnny Van Zant has fully recovered from last year's throat surgery and is back in full performance form.
The concert will be held in downtown Muncie, Indiana, on Saturday, June 3rd. Tickets will go on sale Saturday April 1st at 10am through all Ticketmaster locations and www.ticketmaster.com

The venue is in the streets of Downtown Muncie at 309 S. Walnut Street (at the intersection of Charles Street). Venue set up is 4,000 reserved seats in a gated area with a lawn area for an additional 3,000 people. Two forty-foot big-screens are set up to broadcast the performances.
The Southern rock group with 18 gold and 12 platinum albums, consistently has drawn capacity crowds with every performance given since reforming in 1987, a full decade after the Freebird fell from the sky, taking the lives of founding members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines.
Ronnie's brother, Johnny Van Zant has been fronting the band, keeping rock classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, You Got That Right, That Smell and the rock anthem Freebird alive and well. Two original members, guitar-great Gary Rossington and founding keyboardist Billy Powell support Van Zant.
The Sulentic Brothers Band from South Bend Indiana will be the opening act. This band has opened for Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Charlie Daniels, and 38 Special, just to name a few. Check them out @ http://www.sulenticbrothersband.com/
