9-CHARLIE MAKES AN APPEARANCE Wednesday, July 30, 2008 - The weekly festivities kicked off later than normal this week as members were running a little late due to a large hotel fire.  It was exciting this week because we had specially ordered plastic Miller Lite bottles typically only available in the stadiums.
