‘Meet and greet’ Sunday will send Angela Brown to Belgium ‘Clinton County style’
In Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008 issue
Clinton County basketball fans who have enjoyed and followed the career of one of our most celebrated Lady Bulldog stars, will have the chance to gather Sunday afternoon for a short reception/gathering to wish Angela Brown “good luck” as she heads to Belgium to play professional basketball.
A brief reception, being billed as a “meet and greet” will be held at the Clinton County Learning Center for the 6’ 5” former Lady Bulldog standout player, giving her family, fans and friends a chance to give her a “Clinton County send-off.”
Sunday’s reception will be held in the back lobby of the Clinton County Learning Center, between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Angela will be on hand to talk about her upcoming opportunity, as well as being available for photographs with her Clinton County fans.
Co-hosted by local radio station WANY and the Clinton County News, Sunday’s gathering was the brainchild of WANY station manager Randy Speck, who noted the gathering would be a fitting way for Clinton County to give Brown a nice send-off as she embarks on this latest chapter in her athletic career.
The reception also coincides with the declaring by Clinton County Judge/Executive Lyle Huff and Albany Mayor Nicky Smith that Sunday, August 24, be known as “Angela Brown Day” according to a joint proclamation signed to that effect this past Tuesday morning.
A separate photograph of the proclamation signing appears this week in the Clinton County News.
Brown, who just finished her collegiate basketball career, playing her senior year with the Murray State Lady Racers and helping the squad to complete one of its best seasons ever, recently signed a contract to play professional basketball with a team in Belgium.
Based out of the province of Boom in Belgium, Brown will be flying out of Nashville next Tuesday, August 26, to become a member of that city’s women’s basketball team, the Dames.
Ironically, the team mascot for the Boom organization is a familiar one to Brown - a Bulldog.
Brown is the daughter of Mike and Debbie Brown, of Albany.
