The 2009 Season

At this time, it is expected that a Men's Club meeting will occur sometime in January of 2009. An email and website posting will announce such a meeting.

It is undecided, whether or not, your current Men's Club committee will continue in 2009.

A couple of things will enter into any decision, i.e., Dave Lewis being retained by the City of Pueblo as the Walkingstick pro and, whether or not, I decide to retire (again) or continue to work. My family life is also getting more complicated with grandchildren and their activities. We will keep you informed of any decisions.

Thank you for a wonderful 2008 season,

Dennis Fitzsimmons
