The August 2008 issue of our club newsletter, "Bucky Beat" (PDF file) is available.

This year’s tailgate party and scholarship raffle will be held at JR’s Sports Bar & Grill, at 65 North Main Street in Fond du Lac. Come and join fellow Badger fans to cheer on Bucky at a smoke-free event. The start time has not been announced, so check the media and meet at JR’s for fun and fellowship on November 1.

There will be food and drink specials at JR’s to help us celebrate the defeat of the Spartans, and the successful scholarship drive. Invite your friends to join us. There are plenty of TVs to assure good viewing for all. The rest is up to Bucky!

We will draw the raffle winner’s names at halftime. Tickets will be available until a couple of minutes before the drawing. Cash prizes are as follows:

FIRST PRIZE - $500
SECOND PRIZE - $250
THIRD PRIZE - $100
4TH - 8TH PRIZES - $20

You need not be present to win the cash prizes, but the drawing will continue for door prizes donated by Board members and other supporters. If you could donate a Badger item as a door prize, contact a Board member - or just bring it along. You must be in attendance to claim the additional door prizes.

See the newsletter for ticket info, or contact a board member.

The Wisconsin Singers will be performing at the North Fond du Lac PAC on March 27, 2009. The concert is co-sponsored by our chapter and the North Fond du Lac Music Parents. More information about this great show will appear in the media and here as the date approaches.
