Kudos go out to Commissioner BRAD WAGNER and the Commission…..MIKE CREEMER…..RICK LEFTON and GREG “GIG” FRANKLIN………
After a one hour Happy Hour, dinner was served by new head chef LENNY LOEB and boy was it good!!!!!
The guest speaker, JON WARDEN, member of the 1968 WORLD CHAMPION DETROIT TIGERS, had stories about his playing and coaching days as well as some off the wall humor. He had the audience laughing at some of his stories……

The season in review was up next and GREG “GIG” FRANKLIN did a great job as always with help from JEFF “DUFF” WOLF…….during it was a fantastic tribute to RON ROSE who is expected to retire after a long illustrious career……
In summary, it was a great time and we can’t wait until the words “play ball” are yelled again……
