Chapter News
Magnolia Magazine - the newsletter of SABR's Magnolia Chapter is now available!
Chapter President Craig Brown produces a chapter newsletter several times a year. Magnolia Magazine is a collection of baseball stories, memories and musings from the members of SABR's Magnolia Chapter. Interested in contributing a short article, story or book review for a future issue? Your topic can be anything about baseball, past or present. All ideas are welcome. We'd also be interested in background information about our members (education, occupation and career changes, family news, your baseball interests and why you joined SABR, etc.) that you might willing to share with the chapter. Feel free to include a photo of yourself as well! Please send submissions at your earliest convenience to Craig!

Welcome New Members!
We'd like to welcome several new members to the Magnolia Chapter, including Rob Elder (Atlanta), Jordan Cohn (Snellville), Steven Gonyea (Rome), Colin Lacy (Statesville), Gordon Warren (Alpharetta), Adam Henry (Atlanta), David Kuzma (Alpharetta), Jess Cogan (Athens), Nikunj Patel (Atlanta), and Steve Darby (Statesboro). Please contact Craig Brown if you have any questions about the chapter! We'd also like to know if you would like to become involved in chapter leadership efforts (see below for more information), or if you are actively involved in any type of baseball research. If you (or anyone else in the chapter) would like to send along a brief bio and a photo for your member bio page, please email Terry with that information!
Magnolia SABR By-Laws Available Here; Opportunities to Get Involved in Chapter Leadership Available!
In an effort to comply with recommendations from the national SABR organization, Magnolia SABR has recently drafted a new set of By-Laws. These By-Laws outline a proposed leadership structure that includes a Program Chair, and Activities Chair, and a Membership Chair. The responsibilities of each position are outlined in the attached document. The By-Laws call for these positions to be filled through periodic elections. The problem is a lack of interested potential candidates willing to devote just a few hours a month to helping the chapter move forward. The chapter has historically been "run" by a small handful of veteran members who were willing to help out on an informal basis. We've been able to maintain an active chapter for years following this path; but the current leadership is VERY WILLING to have "new blood" - including younger members - step forward and play an active role in organizing chapter activities and taking it to new levels.
If you are interested in getting involved in helping Magnolia SABR move forward in any of the positions listed above, please contact Craig Brown and let him know of your interest in helping run the chapter. We look forward to new people who can bring a fresh perspective so our local SABR experience!
