March 2008 Newsletter
Bob Beatty Award: Several potential candidates have been received. The nomination form was sent to the FHSA membership and to local coaches to encourage nominees. If you have a nomination, please submit it via mail to the above address or email to Richard McFarland (rmcfarland@dcscorp.com) by the 14th of March. This will ensure that we can make a selection and then a formal presentation at the membership meeting in April.
West Potomac Sports Boosters / Fort Hunt Sportsmen's Golf Tournament: A joint Golf tournament with the West Potomac Sports Booster Club is scheduled for Monday, June 9th at the Old Hickory Golf Course in Prince William County. The Boosters have been very successful raising a lot of money in the past through corporate sponsors for their golf events - the Sportsmen will also be looking for sponsorships and tee sponsorships. We will be working with the Sports Boosters to coordinate activities. Rick Genuario is our coordinator.
Swim Carnival: : Jim Schlesinger has scheduled the Carnival for a mid-week June 25th date.
DINNER MEETING: The next Sportsmen's Dinner Meeting will be held on Thursday, March 13, 2008 at Cedar Knoll Restaurant along the George Washington Parkway, one mile north of the Mount Vernon Estate. This is the first time we have been back at the Cedar Knoll in many years Valentine's Dance Follow-Up: The Valentine's Dance on February 9th was a success. Attendees had a great time and the Sportsmen's actually made $132.81. Our goal is not to make or lose money, just break even. This is the first year that board members can remember making money on the event. 72 guests attended. The salmon dinner was complimented and the extra menu choices appreciated. Next years event will be on February 7, 2009 as the MVCC has already booked the 14th for the MVCC Club members. Photos and a short write-up from the Valentine's Day Dance have been added to the website.
Nationals Tailgate: Has been moved to July, as the Golf Tournament will be our June event. We are targeting the weekend of July 12 for a Nationals Tailgate Party. Pat Malone has said that he will bring along several of the players from his baseball team, the Alexandria Aces to the tailgate/game to increase interest.
Jim Martin, President - 2007/2008
