Pensacola, FL/Emerald Coast area

Ralph was admitted to the West Florida hospital on Friday. His Hemoglobin was extremely low. He has been given several units of blood and is feeling much better. He thinks he will be released sometime Monday. He is in room 403 at West Florida hospital. Ralph is historically one of the most important members of our club and as had some impact on every member and a direct impact on most. Let’s all pray for his speedy recover. Yes I said the “P” word (pray). Hopefully the ACLU won’t be having me arrested in the next couple days!

See you this afternoon at Hopjacks.

From Pat…

Beerfest – First off want to thank everyone that helped make the beer fest one of the best we’ve ever had (I already thanked God for the weather). It will be some time before we know how many folks attended and all the details but it was good. Everyone I spoke to said it was great and had NO complaints. The Beach event also went well and even the Sunday morning breakfast went off without a hitch.

Club Meeting– We’ll be gossiping about the beerfest (we won’t have the details) at the club meeting this Sunday so make sure you don’t miss it. The location is Hopjacks on Palafox Place and their is parking on the street behind Hopjacks. Bring Beer!

Hot Glass Cold Beer – This event is scheduled for September 25th (Friday) at 5:30-9:30ish. I know some of you have already told me you were bringing beer but I need to update that list since many of you have used beer at the Beerfest of the Anything that Floats race. These events are always fun and kind of like a mini beerfest where we are the ones in the spotlight. The folks at the Belmont Art Center will be blowing glass, making glass beads and turning pottery while Mario and Sean from our club brew beer and while we supply the beer to the attendees. Those that bring beer/work get in free so don’t miss out on the fun.
