The weather was beautiful; maybe a wee bit chilly, but we had lots of sunshine. We were entertained by crew races on the Genesee River and music from a marching band. The food was great and the company even better. Mary Dibble seemed to be the champ at washer toss putting Gary Schaeffer and Mike Petta to shame. Others played Bocce and some of us just sat and talked. Jim Clement was the grill master cooking the hamburgers and the red and white hotdogs to perfection. The snacks, salads and desserts added to the delicious menu. We had a great time. Thanks again to the 22 people who supported this event.   Keep in mind the Meet the Players Dinner. We are waiting to hear from the Front Office about a possible date for this event. Further information will be forthcoming. It sounds like it is going to be an exciting year for the Amerks so you don’t want to miss this event.   Entertainment Report - Sandy Clement (6/09) Save the Date!!! September 19th 12 Noon -???

Thank you to all of the guest speakers for their time and laughs that were provided.    After the speeches, it was time to party. The rookies took the stage and were led by Dan Collins in the "rookie dance". Thank you to all the rookies who took part in the Macarena and entertained those in attendance along with their teammates. The night of dancing was capped off by the "dollar dance". A record amount was made this year, with over $200 being raised for this year's charity which was put towards presents for this year's adopted Christmas family.    A special thank you goes out to all of those who helped pitch in to make this one of the best dinners in years. Also a thank you to the Amerk staff, along with Drew Larman, and the rest of the players, who made this a night where we were truly able to "Meet the Players". Regardless of what happens on the ice, after meeting all the players, those in attendance will all agree that we have a first class team.
