Everyone is invited to attend. Players will receive their class gifts and awards will be presented. Seniors will receive their banners, as well.

Also, we are doing a 2013 AFL Championship Sweatshirt Pre-Order. Please see the order form here for information. This is NOT a fundraiser. We are taking pre-orders at cost so that you can share in the memory of a great season.

Finally, we had our January meeting on Monday, Jan. 6. Thank you to the members who attended. The next meeting is tentatively Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. at the high school commons. You will receive a notice in advance. Please make every effort to attend as we are planning the annual golf tournament which is a major fundraiser for the program.
