Visit http://www.howellspumpkins.com for more information about the activities available.

We're Moving (our socials)!

We are always trying to find the best locations for our socials and events and sometimes that means we have to make a move. After several months at Kelley's in Beaverdale it's become evident that we need to change locations!

The Game Sports Bar in Urbandale has been a great host for our Football watch parties for the last three years AND has a Bearcat as one of the owners!

Beginning in October we'll be having our First Thursday socials at The Game Sports Bar at 6pm on the first Thursday of every month.

Thursdays also happen to be steak night and there will be a variety of drink specials as well! We think this move will be our last as our Central Iowa Bearcats tend to feel at home at The Game.

We hope to see you there!

It's State Fair Time Again! We need your help!

It's that time of year again! Time for the Iowa State Fair! This is one of our biggest chances to get the word out about Northwest and our Alumni chapters!
We are seeking alumni and friends to volunteer to staff the Northwest Missouri State University booth at this year's fair. All volunteers will receive an Admission ticket and parking pass. Below you'll find the time slots open for volunteers. Please email brenda@nwmissouri.edu indicating which time slot you'd like to work (and a 2nd choice in case your slot is filled). Please include the names of everyone working, your mailing address so that we'll know where to mail your fair admission and parking passes and a phone number. We need two volunteers per time slot that is listed below. We are contacting everyone who worked the booth last year to give you first choice so sign up early. Slot sign-ups are on a first come, first served basis; so if someone beats you to your preferred slot we'll work with you to find another one that works!Thanks in advance for your help! Please feel free to contact Brenda if you have questions.
