    Vol. 14, No. 1 // Winter 2020 NEW TWIST BREWING FOR SPRING & SUMMER EVENTS APRIL 3-4 – TILLER RV RAFFLE PARTY; PURDUE SPRING GAME JUNE 14 -- NFF HONORS DINNER, CELEBRATING OUR LEGENDS XVI SEPT. 18 – TYLER TRENT GOLF OUTING SEPT. 18 – NFF HONORS RECEPTION AND SILENT AUCTION Sometimes change is good and 2020 will definitely be a year of change for the National Football Foundation’s Joe Tiller Chapter of Northwest Indiana. Something that will not change is our goal of putting on first class events and honoring individuals for their accomplishments. Details are still evolving, but we will have at least four important events involving our chapter as we roll through our 16th year of existence. Prior to the events, however, are two key deadlines for the awards process. Nominations are due Feb. 1 from the high schools in the 17-county area of North- west Indiana for the judging of the Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award. Also, Mar. 31 is the deadline for nominations for the other chapter awards (see awards and nomination form on adjoining pages). TILLER RV RAFFLE PARTY For an investment as low as $25, you could become the owner of Joe and Arnette Tiller’s 2013 Winnebago Rally Vista. Arnette has turned the recreational vehicle (pictured to the right and on page 5) over to our chapter to help find a new CHAPTER NETS OVER $31,000 owner, hopefully before the end of 2020. The “Tiller RV Raffle” will start April 3-4 weekend at Purdue’s Football Re- FROM RECENT BREES OFFER union and Spring Game.
