Members(L to R) Fredd Lupp, Ray Vorburger, Fritz Styka and Bill Bunny placed 200 white crosses in the lawn of St. Andrew's R.C.

Sports Round Table Review

It was a lively give and take of opinions especially when talking of the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabres last night as WBEN-TV sports personalities John Murphy, Paul Peck and Mike Courtney eagerly answered our group's questions for well over an hour. Following the discussions Bill Sobczak's famous "Billy Burgers" sated our stomachs along with appropriate beverages. Thanks Bill and Marshall Bill Lembke for making it quite a groaning board of food.

Ladies, Give Yourself A Valentine's Day Present

Ladies, give yourself a Valentine's Day present on Monday, Feb. 14th and send your husband to the annual Holy Name Sports Roundtable discussion at 7:30pm. He'll be out of your hair for a few hours and come home educated, happy and fed. We'll have the usual crew of WBEN-TV sports reporters John Murphy and Paul Peck along with WBEN sports producer Mike Courtney. Topics will run the gamut from the Super Bowl winners & losers, Sabres, baseball and college basketball. Our pastor, Msgr. Richard Siepka, says he even has a soccer question.

Upcoming Meeting Jan. 10th, 2011

Plan on attending our Jan. 10th, 2011 general meeting when local historian and WBEN Radio newsman Steve Cichon gives an audio and visual presentation on most of the past businesses in Downtown Buffalo. There's bound to be some great memories being raised when you see his photos. Steve was recently named to WNY's "40 Under 40" list of most influential people in the area. It's a can't miss night!

I'd bring my copy of Steve's "Complete History of Parkside" to autograph but he already did.

See you there!
