Directors of The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Alumni Association, a non-profit corporation, recently voted to dissolve its 501(c)(3) status while remaining a university-affiliated organization closely associated with the Office of Alumni Relations.

Created more than 40 years ago, the UAH Alumni Association served as an independent 501(c)(3) organization initially structured as a dues-paying membership model with fundraising goals. After a careful review of the corporation's mission and purpose, the association president and an ad hoc committee recommended to the Board of Directors that its non-profit status be dissolved, keeping the same name with a renewed focus on building alumni membership and increasing postgraduate involvement.

UAH will host a variety of events and activities July 14-31, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 landing on the moon. Click here for the full schedule. The fireworks show will begin at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, July 20.

Mark your calendars for the U.S. Space & Rocket Center's German Biergarten benefitting Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at UAH. Enjoy an evening of authentic German food, beverages, and music, all held underneath the historic Saturn V. Admission is free, and a portion of food sales will benefit OLLI programming.
