I wanted to inform everyone about an event coming up in Opelika, Alabama on January 16. The East Alabama Alumni Chapter, the Auburn Football Letterman's Club and the Kiwanis Club of Opelika are hosting a "Larry Blakeney Appreciation Gala" at the Event Center Downtown in Opelika. Tickets are $60 per person. Tables can be purchased for $1,200. Presenting sponsorships are also available. The event begins at 6 p.m. with cocktails, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. The attire is semi-formal. All proceeds will go towards establishing a scholarship in Coach Blakeney's honor at Troy. For more information or to purchase tickets call Lisa Ditchkoff at 334-705-5466 or Lisa@EventCenterDowntown.com.

Is there an agenda, guest speaker, etc? This sounds pretty neat, how far is Opelika from Troy?

We've lined up a couple guest speakers. One from Auburn, one from Troy. Still finalizing the agenda. It will be a great event.
