- MAY 1, 2019 UPDATE
Good evening fellow Cowboys and Cowgirls,

First, I want once again thank Gary Tripp, Pam & Jim Abreu for their countless amount of personal time given to our H Club. Pam has recently updated our membership list, so some of you who are receiving this email may need to still update your membership as I will be developing a new 'group list' of only paid members. Additionally, we (and you) will be corresponding with members who haven't renewed and asking them to rejoin.

PLEASE let me know by replying (only to me) if you know of someone who has passed away so we can recognize them in the Banquet Program as we continue to maintain our list of active members.

It's an exciting time for Highlands athletics as we embark in the Craig Snow era. I know Coach Snow and Dr. Sam Minner have great ideas and are both committed to making HU Athletics the best it can be.

Save the Date for June 29th as we gather at Marty Sanchez Golf Course in Santa Fe for our 2nd Annual H Club Golf Tournament benefiting ALL Sports.

H CLUB MEETING MINUTES

Good morning H CLub Members,

We are continuing with our continuous improvements in serving as strong supporters in the overall mission of NMHU and our student athletes. As many of you know, the homecoming events were a tremendous success capped off with an unbelievable football win! Our teams are currently competing very well in the RMAC.

The H Club Hall of Fame area at Stu Clark drew plenty of positive comments . Many of our former athletes and students were treated to a first class pregame experience. The renovations to the facility were made possible through the generous contributions from the Patricia and Leveo Sanchez family. Our NMHU Board of Regents, HU Foundation, Alumni Board, Dr. Sam Minner's support has not gone unnoticed. There is a real synergy that is focused on having NMHU be the best in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
