An update from Jim Conway I hope everyone is having a great summer and you are ready to see your Polar Bear friends again. I want to thank Gary Rosen, Alex Meller and Joan Roselli. Joan has been the Flight B Leader for many
years and she has moved to South Carolina. Gary and Alex have been performing the quartermaster duties
for the last couple of years. Gary and Alex did a great job bringing back the PBGT tees and sweatshirts
last season. It was a monumental job working with the production companies trying to reorganize coming
out of COVID restrictions. Steve Obermeier and Rob Schanbacher have agreed to pick up the torch as our new quartermasters for the
upcoming season. We will be ordering PBGT tees and sweatshirts on the special order basis this season and
will try to have them ready for O'Connors on December 10, 2023. I have also asked Steve to come up with
some ideas for bringing back the PBGT flags and other memorabilia.
Since Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Easter Day are all on Sundays this year, we decided to
eliminate one stop so that we can finish before the weather gets too warm. See the schedule so that
you get enough chances for the coveted 60 point pins. You will note a new stop on March 3, 2024. Special
thanks to Sal and Charlie for identifying the Buck Hill Brewery to replace Pub 199. While Pub 199 was
a nice location, they were Cash ONLY and did not have coffee or water which became an issue
for some members.
Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we could always use a couple more volunteers
so that we don't burn out the existing staff. If you think you would like to volunteer, please contact
me and let me know what you would like to help with. Except for the Flight Leaders, the staff members
work on their own schedule and time-line. And don't forget to give me your email address so you can stay up-to-date on any changes going on. All my best, Jim Conway
