| | 23 | Clemson Football Game
Do we want to try to get a group together to travel to Death Valley for the annual matchup between the Yellow Jackets and Tigers? We used to charter a bus, but the cost became prohibitive for the number of people who were attending. We are considering carpooling or renting a van, and purchasing a block of tickets for those who want to go as a group. Let us know your thoughts... Contact Jim Crafton at 828-692-4273 or at craftonj@mchsi.com; Jack Webb at 828-697-0361 or at jackandmary@mindspring.com; or John Woodson at 828-645-4293 or at jwoodson.im74@gtalumni.org. |

September 2009
| | 17 | Gamewatching party and board meeting
Come watch the Yellow Jackets take on Miami in Miami on ESPN. We'll gather for the 7:30 PM game at Wild Wings Cafe on the south side of downtown Asheville. It's near McCormick Field, and next door to Foam and Fabric on Biltmore Avenue. This is the same place several of us have gathered to watch bowl games in the past, and always provides a great atmosphere for a gamewatching party. With the exclusive prime-time game on a Thursday night, there will be less competition for screens, and the game should be visible from any seat in the house. The September board meeting will be held during this event, at halftime, or during pre-game, or at a convienient break in the action. Call John Woodson for details or to let us know you are coming. 828-645-4293 or at jwoodson.im74@gtalumni.org |

John Woodson has signed up on a Habitat for Humanity workcrew for Saturday, October 10, which is TEAM BUZZ day this year. The house being constructed is in the Enka Hills area on Warren Haynes Drive, and is this year's Episcopal House, being sponsored by 4 local Episcopal churches. The workday will be from 8:30 AM until about 3:00 PM. If you would be interested in helping on this worthwhile project as our TEAM BUZZ community service this year, contact John Woodson at 828-645-4293 or at jwoodson.im74@gtalumni.org |

| | 5 | Luncheon with Stan Pamfilis of WLOS-TV
Our annual Luncheon will again be in November this year, on Thursday, November 5, at Ryan's Family Steak House on Brevard Road. Ryan's is just past Biltmore Square Mall if you exit I-26 at Brevard Road (Exit 33). We will meet at 11:30 AM and the only cost is the cost of your meal. Everyone can choose the well-stocked buffet or order from the menu, then come to our reserved room to eat.
At around 12:15, we will be honored to have Stan Pamfilis as our speaker. He is the sports director at local WLOS-TV in Asheville, and also has connections to Tech, as he grew up in Atlanta and has family connections to the North Avenue landmark Junior's Grill. He plans a brief talk, and will save a lot of time for answering questions; so if you want his opinion on any topic, bring your questions!
So that we can know about how many to expect, if you plan to attend, contact Jim Crafton at 828-692-4273 or at craftonj@mchsi.com |

This is a new venue for us for a gamewatching, and it promises to be a good one, with more convenient parking and an extensive menu covering more than just wings.
