  <body><![CDATA[<p>Dear Georgia Tech parents,</p><p>As our focus shifts from summer to the start of a new fall semester, we would like to take a moment to highlight one of the most significant components of student life.&nbsp;There are many things that make Georgia Tech a special and unique institution, including a nationally competitive athletic program with a rich and storied tradition. From Coach John Heisman to four national championships to last season’s Orange Bowl Championship, football has played a prominent role in the Institute’s history for over a century.</p><p>&nbsp;With 18 straight bowl appearances, Georgia Tech is among the nation's most successful programs, and it provides a tremendous opportunity to showcase the Institute beyond our remarkable academic strengths.&nbsp;On game days each fall, we welcome more than 50,000 fans to campus, and the festive environment is full of entertainment and&nbsp;camaraderie across many generations of Georgia Tech faithful.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;We’d like to personally invite you and your family to be part of our fun and proud tradition.&nbsp;A student season ticket for your son or daughter is just $49, and regular season tickets for you&nbsp;start at just $245. Please also mark your calendar for our October 3 game against the University of North Carolina, which is this season’s annual Family Weekend&nbsp;game.&nbsp;</p><p>For more information on season tickets, go to <a href="http://ramblinwreck.com/">ramblinwreck.com</a> or call&nbsp;888-TECH-TIX. You can find out more about Family Weekend programming and tickets by going to <a href="http://familyweekend.gatech.edu/">familyweekend.gatech.edu</a> or&nbsp;by calling 404-385-1396.&nbsp;We look forward to seeing you on campus this fall.</p><p>Go Jackets!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mike Bobinski</p><p>Director of Athletics</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John Stein</p><p>Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students</p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
