Mallory to Entertain at Alumni Meeting

Tuscaloosa – The Alumni Association of Shelton State Community will host its annual meeting on Thursday, March 3 at 7:00 P.M. in the Alabama Power Foundation Recital Hall of the Sandra Hall Ray Fine Arts Center.

            Special entertainment for meeting will be Dr. Allen Mallory.  Mallory’s comedy club sellouts, keynote speeches and television appearances have endeared him to audiences across the country and made him the talk of the comedy club industry.  His audience members have remarked “I laughed till I cried” and “This man is a riot.”

            Dr. Mallory is a dynamic, entertaining speaker who uses humor in talking about working with children and families. His unique ability to inject humor into serious topics is unmatched.  He has 24 years of experience in education and is currently a member at the faculty at Shelton State Community College where he teaches courses in Child Development.

            “We are delighted that Dr. Mallory has agreed to provide the entertainment for our annual meeting,” said Wendy Jones, Director of Public Relations and Alumni Affairs.  “I know that this will be one of the most fun events we’ve had.”

            Following Dr. Mallory’s performance, a reception will be held in the lobby of the theatre.  The cost for the evening is $10 with all proceeds going to fund the Alumni Association’s scholarships for adult students.

One of the oldest community college alumni groups in Alabama, since its inception, the Shelton State Alumni Association has played an important role in encouraging continued interest in and loyalty to the College.
