ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A large crowd packed the pavilion at the UNM Championship Golf Course on Tuesday, June 29 for the 2010 Lobo Club Membership Drive Super Celebration. The event celebrated all the hard work by the Lobo Club Ambassadors over the previous two months encouraging Lobo Club members to renew their support and also pledging new donors. Ambassadors were assigned to teams that competed to bring in the most money and the most members.
