The next Sportsmen's Dinner Meeting will be Thursday, November 8th at Mike's Italian Restaurant on Route 1. Pat Malone will be our speaker. Pat is affiliated with the Alexandria Aces's, a college age baseball league that will begin play in Alexandria in the spring of 2008. You may recall receiving an email from Pat asking for assistance with housing for players that are being drafted from schools outside the Washington Metropolitan area. Come and hear Pat tell us about this new baseball endeavor. Cocktails will begin at 7 with dinner being served at 8 p.m.
For those of you who could not make the 8th Annual Sportsmen's Golf Tournament, It took place Friday, October 19th at Fort Belvoir. The event was fun and successful. The Club made over $1200 and enjoyed the sponsorship of many groups. There was a good turnout and there were only four "No-Shows" despite the threat of rain.
We have been contacted by the Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association about participating in a Volunteer Dinner. It is being held November 17th at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Old Town. This is being hosted by FHYAA and is open to all area youth sports volunteers. Check the FHYAA website for details.
The NEW date for the Redskins Tailgate Party is Thursday, December 6th versus the Chicago Bears at 8:15. Please contact Robert Hines if you will be attending. More details to follow.
It is not too early to start planning for the Valentine's Dance. It is set for Saturday, February 9th at the Mount Vernon Country Club. Harry Shackleford will be putting out more information as the time grows closer.
We had a very good Raffle Season, combined with the ticket sales and the proceeds from the Golf tournament, our donation budget will be in excess for $12,000 for the year. Thank you to everyone who participated.
