A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM RICK'S FAMILY:
Just as no words written about Rick can truly capture who he was, it is a daunting task for we, his family, to create a memorial or tribute befitting such an amazing son, brother, uncle, co-worker, friend…person.
Our family has been very eager to work pro-actively on perpetuating Rick's legacy and memory at Maryville University in St. Louis - his beloved university where he spent the last 10 years of his professional career working in marketing and public relations.
Thus, we created the Rick Arnold Memorial Scholarship at Maryville University, which will assist a selected student intern in the Public Relations department, where Rick mentored many budding journalists. And, after much brainstorming, we are very excited to announce our second annual fundraiser to benefit Rick's scholarship fund: the RICK ARNOLD MEMORIAL TRIVIA NIGHT!
As you may know, Rick was "Mr. Trivia" and particularly enjoyed attending Trivia Nights. In fact, one of our last "family outings" with him was a Trivia Night that various family members attended with him at Maryville University. So, we couldn't think of a more fitting fundraiser for his scholarship fund.
We would love for you (and anyone else you know!) to join us at the 2nd Annual RICK ARNOLD MEMORIAL TRIVIA NIGHT on Saturday, January 16, 2010 as we come together to continue celebrating Rick's life and legacy (along with his birthday, which is on January 18th!).
