Presidents Corner

Greetings to all and Happy St. Patty’s Day to everyone. Well spring is around the corner, hopefully we can shed those winter coats soon. As we move forward we followed up a great Big Bucks Raffle with a great Super Bowl Sunday. Many thanks to any Officer and members who volunteered helping make this new format Super Bowl Party a success. For those who were not aware we changed the usual party to feature a steak dinner prior to the game with the other normal aspects remaining the same. A very special thanks to Randy and Steve Shamblin who brought the idea to us and followed through as the chairmen of the event. Great job guys, those steaks were delicious. Our next event was just booked today prior to the writing of this column. We will be bringing back The Pop Tarts for another Big Bucks Raffle and dinner. Mark your calendar for Friday April 20th. Stay tuned for further details on the menu. Just a comment regarding Big Buck Raffles and shows. We work hard to bring quality entertainers, great food and drink and an opportunity to win prizes at a reasonable price. We have been fortunate to pack the house for these events. That being said, because of the large crowds and the configuration of our club hall we ask you our members to be understanding. We do not have theater seating, people move around to use restrooms, get drinks and even get up to dance. So unfortu-nately views can be obstructed. Even some of what seems like prime seating can be compromised. We ask you be cooperative and thank you for your support.

Have a Great Month! Your President

Mike Costanzo

PROPOSED BY LAW CHANGE A motion was made at the January monthly meeting and a sec-ond reading at the February monthly meeting to add an addi-tional officer to the board of The HBT Club. Proposed office would be the Membership Director whose duties would in-clude membership records, the maintenance of a accurate mail-ing list, and the control over the key cards and the entry system. The new position would coordinate with the Corresponding Secretary the needed files to ensure all records were in sync. The motion passed unanimously and will be read again at the next two meetings before a vote will be taken at the March Monthly meeting. If motion passes the position will be added to this years slate of offices for the 2019-2020 term.

Sign up Sunday April 8th 1:00pm

SUPERBOWL PARTY FEEDBACK

First off lets start with a hardy congrats to both teams The Eagles and The Patriots for a great and entertaining game. Great Job!

When the thought of a steak bake Super Bowl party was first brought up a year ago there were many doubting “THOMAS’s” that $60 was too much for a party. Well there are no doubts now especially from the 60+ guests who attended the event. Great food, prizes and Game. Thanks to Randy and Steve Shamblin for pushing the idea and help bringing it to fruition. Special thanks to all who worked the event all officers who attended and worked and last and not least to our resident meat master Timmy Ross for cutting some fantastic steaks! I bet there won’t be many doubters next year?

Spring is the air, flowers will

soon bloom and the smell of hot

dogs will fill the air! Yes it is

almost time for baseball. The

Tribe sadly opens the season

with a 10:00pm game in Seattle

but returns home April 6th for

the home opener against the

KC Royals. There are always

good seats in the

Clubroom and cold

beverages to watch

the games! Go Tribe.
