October News and Update

Detroit Alumni,
NAVY FOOTBALL:
Navy just defeated Tulsa 45-17 to make their record 4-1. That’s after a very exciting win over Air Force last week. The Air Force game was much closer than the score of 34-25 would indicate. With Navy leading by 3 points, Air Force with the ball and seconds left, Navy scooped up a fumble and scored. What a way to seal the Win!!
ARMY- NAVY GAME PARTY:
The info on our Army-Navy game party will be out very soon! I can tell you this. The game will be at 3:00 pm on Sat. December 14, and it will probably be at Buffalo Will Wings on Sixteen Mile in Troy.
OCTOBER LUNCH:
Due to our old location in Ann Arbor being closed at lunch time now, we have a new Ann Arbor location. It will be at Carson’s American Bistro at 2000 Commonwealth Blvd., Ann Arbor MI 48105 on Tuesday, October 22 at 11:30 am. This location is less than a quarter of a mile west of our old location. Although the address is on Commonwealth, you can enter it from Plymouth Rd. As usual, please email with an RSVP if possible, but last minute arrivals are fine.
LAST MONTH’S LUNCH:
We had a nice crowd of 16 for our thank you lunch for Mike Bennett and Joe Walsh for their many years of service as B&G Area Coordinators. Now it is Mike Johnson’s turn.
Good luck, Mike.

June Lunch & All-Academy Challenge
Posted: 6/3/2019
For the next few days May 30 through June 3 is the 6th annual All Academy Challenge pitting the Naval Academy, West Point, Air force Academy, Coast Guard Academy and Merchant Marine Academy against each other to raise money, but more important number of participants. All it takes is $5 minimum. Go to navy.allacademychallenge.com and give just a little or give a lot. Now here is the part that is so disgusting I can’t believe I am saying it. If you donate any amount, even $5, you can take $5 off your local dues if you send it in by June 30. I HATE this kind of advertising, but I can’t resist doing it!!
This Month’s lunch will be at an East side location at 11:30 am on Tuesday, June 11 at Sindbad’s Restaurant and Marina. It is to make things a little closer for those on the East side and in downtown Detroit. Sindbad’s is located at 100 St Clair St; Detroit 48214. It is off Jefferson on the Detroit River about half way between East Grand Blvd and Conner. Please email for a reservation to arthurwbryant@gmail.com if you can attend, but it is not necessary. Good weather should make it a nice day to watch the boats on the river.
Beat Army!!
