Falany Unveils Jam-Packed 2023-2024 Season
The wait is over, and excitement is in the air! The next season of performances at the Falany Performing Arts Center was unveiled at the Sneak Peek event this week.

Over forty different events are already confirmed for the upcoming school year. There’s something for everyone. Bands will span all genres, from country to jazz. There will be special holiday performances in December and not-to-be-missed theatre performances.

Falany happenings are so popular, four Sneak Peek events drew over 1000 guests. Tickets for the professional shows are now on sale for patrons. Ticket sales for non-patrons will be available 60 days prior to each event. Student performances will go on sale in August, and Christmas events will be available after October 1.
United Methodist Scholarship Golf Outing
Ministers and parishioners were among over 100 participants in the 30th annual United Methodist Scholarship Golf Outing this week at Lake Arrowhead Golf Club in Waleska. Every dollar raised goes directly to student scholarships.

The tournament raises critical scholarship dollars for students to obtain their degrees.
Reinhardt partnered with ministers from Cherokee, Pickens, DeKalb Counties, and surrounding areas to provide fellowship on the golf course and build opportunities for students with scholarships.

A core group of Methodist clergy have planned and served on the event committee for most of the past three decades. Committee Chair, Rev. David Melton has been instrumental in the continued success of the tournament.

Before the event, Josh Garner, Reinhardt’s Director of Spiritual Life, Leadership and Service said, “It’s going to be a beautiful day to enjoy fellowship. Everyone is coming together to carry on the spirit of generosity and caring for others, which is emblematic of our United Methodist Church heritage.”

The yearly event is open to all churches and organizations who want to help support scholarships for students.
RU Eagles men’s baseball team won their first game of the NAIA regionals but then fell short. The win gave Head Coach Jonathan Burton his 500th career win in collegiate baseball.
 
The women’s softball team’s season ended during the national championships this week, but the Eagles have a lot to be proud of. The AAC named David Dewes Coach of the Year, Whitney Shepherd Pitcher of the Year, and Kylie Freije Freshman of the Year.

Men’s lacrosse: Reinhardt Senior Cameron Cochran was named NAIA Player of the Year. Cochran ranks second in the nation in points (104) and assists (56). He also helped lead his team to the NAIA Invitational quarterfinal round.
 
The women’s lacrosse team was the AAC champion and made it to the NAIA tournament quarterfinals. Despite a loss, five Eagles were selected for the All-American Teams, including Jillian Mello, who was also named AAC Offensive Player of the Year.
 
Track and field nationals are coming up May 24-26 in Indiana. One of several athletes competing is javelin thrower David Friedberg, as he attempts to defend his 2022 NAIA National Title. At a meet last weekend, he threw 71.23 meters, the third-best javelin throw in NAIA history, and the best of this season.
