HALL OF FAME EVENT, October 25, 2008 - Fred opened the floor for discussion about all the events of the weekend. There was concern about the time allotted for the morning brunch. It was suggested that it should start at least 1 ½ hours before the game which would allow 1 hour for the meal and ½ hour to get situated for the game. All who attended the dinner were pleased with everything. Special thanks to April Novotny, Claudia Malone, Kathy Donovan, Bill Thomas, Kyle Alexander (MC), Dawn Mamula, coaches Rachel and Fred Barends (Shelly Gaines), Dixie Jeffers (Jill Walker White), and Dave Grube.

January 6, February 3, March 3, April 14 (April 7), May 12 (May 5), June 2, July 7, August 4. After a short discussion, it was determined that more time was needed for each member to research his/her personal calendar. Discussion and voting deferred to December meeting.
