Last Thursday was a close one. But our defense stopped South Carolina on a 4th Down to preserve victory 24-17. We stay in the
SEC the next 2 weekends. FYI, the Florida game has been moved
to a night game with 7:45 P.M. EST kickoff on ESPN. There will be no football
watching party for that game on 10/14/2006.
However we will meet at the Sarasota Brewing Company (SBC) to watch next weekend's Arkansas
game on 10/7/06. That game has a 12:00 Noon kickoff, as it will be televised by CBS-10. Since the
doors open at 11:00 A.M., it would be helpful if some of you could come & help set up at that time.
The SBC is located in Gulfgate Village in Sarasota at 6607 Gateway Avenue, with a phone # of
925-BEER. To get there, I will give 2 sets of directions in the next 2 paragraphs.
If you are coming from North Sarasota or Bradenton, take Tamiami Trail going south just past
the Stickney Point Road intersection. You will pass Gulfgate Mall on the left. At the next traffic light, which is Gulfgate
Drive, take a left on Gulfgate Drive. Shortly, you will turn left on Gateway Avenue, & the SBC is the chain of stores
on your right. If you are coming north from Venice, Port Charlotte, or Englewood, go north on Tamiami Trail. Turn right
on Gulfgate Drive, just before you come to Gulfgate Mall. Follow the previous directions after you get on Gulfgate Drive.
If you are coming from I-75, take the Clark Road exit, which is State Road 72 & head west
toward the beaches. At Swift Rd, Clark Road becomes Stickney Point Road. Keep on this road until the next traffic light.Turn
left on this street which is Gateway Avenue. Follow this all the way into Gulf Gate Village. At the far end of
a row of stores on your left is the SBC.
Remember, we will use this party to raise $ for the FWCAC Scholarship fund. We will have raffle games, along with the auctioning of 2 quilts & 2 shirts to raise $
for the fund. We are holding the party at SBC to make this convenient for those in Sarasota & Charlotte Counties. We had
over 20 at our meeting to watch the L.S.U. game a few weeks ago; so,
I hope to see a similar turnout for this. You may call me at 363-0139 if you have any ?'s. Have a good weekend.
WAR EAGLE,
