This past year has been a fun and eventful time for our club.  With the return of members and new pledges in September, we held our welcome back cookout consisting of grilled hamburgers with all the trimmings.  We also had tailgating festivities for a home football game.  In early October we hosted an AQHA horseshow.  For Halloween, our members provided a hayride and haunted house for the public.  During November we held the Little International Livestock Show, our annual Pledge Sale and our Winter Formal.  The Chapel of Memories in the heart of campus, was the setting for our pledge initiation in early December.  Additionally, our members paid a visit to the Palmer Children’s Home in Columbus, MS and made many new friends.  To kick off the New Year, we attended the National Convention in Washington, D.C. in January.  In February, the club assisted with the Dixie National Livestock Judging contest in Jackson, MS, and hosted our annual Bulldog Stampede Collegiate Rodeo.  In March we held our crawfish boil.  During April, we had our awards banquet, and inducted our new officers for 2003-2004, and officially adjourned for the summer.  One last social event promises to begin a new spring tradition, as we held our first ever steak soiree’ the last weekend in April.
