  • Rich R., reminded us that on Sunday February 5th, the Superbowl party will again be held at Native New Yorker (by the Ace Hardware and the car wash off Cortaro across from the Pavilions).  He has reserved a “back room” for 80 folks and plan to arrive around 3:30 to get a good seat.  The game kicks off at 4:30.   Jorge and Rich will bring in boards with squares that you can buy for the game. That’s always fun.  I think it’s $1 a square – Rich or Jorge please correct me if I’m wrong.  Pam will have a sign-up sheet next week for this annual fun time.
