Upcoming events:

Pacer Banquet:

The 5th Annual Pacer Banquet will be held Thursday, Feb. 25, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Ogletree House on the campus of Southern Miss. Join club members as we honor outgoing officers and Gran Prix winners. We'll have a silent auction with proceeds from the event benefiting the club's track and field scholarship at Southern Miss. Cost is $25 per person or $40 per couple—please RSVP on the forum or through the e-vite sent to club members via e-mail. Menu includes lemon pepper baked chicken, mashed potatoes/gravy, green beans, salad, and more. Beverage choices will also include beer and wine this year.

Attention All Pine Belt Pacer Members:

It is imperative that your email address, as recorded by the Membership Chair, be correct. The Club will be primarily using email addresses, along with our website (pinebeltpacers.org), to keep its member informed of all Club events. Facebook, Twitter and Evite will also be used; these also require correct email addresses.

If you have not received an invitation to the Pine Belt Pacer Banquet in the last week, email social.chair.PBP@gmail.com with your Full Name. These invitations were made using Evite, so you may need to check you Junk Folder too.

Thanks for you help,

Charles Jackson - Social Chair PBP
