Dec. 9 is the date for the Christmas Party, and Nov. 26 will e the Thanksgiving dinner.

TAILGATING
Tailgating will take place behind the sea wall - you can reach this by walking straight toward the river after exiting the Washington St. box office. We want to invite LA fans; Gina Maynard will email Louisiana booster club. If we end up with gator meat, then Rich will cook it for us. Everyone should bring their own meat and a side dish for the tailgating. Cooking starts at 10 a.m., fans can start showing up after noon. Cooker and clean up start at 5 p.m.

ROAD TRIPS
Kevin thanked everyone for going to the Dallas game. Kevin said there are even better deals we can get next year if we have 50 or more members to go (such as dinner and better seats). Kevin also had the VIP cards for Red Roof Inn available for pickup.

A road trip to Jackson is planned for Sat. Oct. 19. It's four hours away.
