Tuesday Night Fitness Training Location and Time Change

We're changing our Tuesday night fitness training location from UCSD to Mission Bay.  See the map for the exact location.  http://goo.gl/maps/YdjhX 

Since the location is a little less centrally located than UCSD, we'll, move the start time to 6:30 pm to give everyone a little more time to get there.

Travel Opportunity 2013

Mini-Mart's Sister, Helen, from Sacramento sent me this note:

I'm going to the Philippines and meeting with the Philippine Australian Football Club. They're inviting a US team to participate in their Manila Cup next year (May 2013). I'm talking to Sacramento and Golden Gate as well to see if maybe we can have a combined team. You think there are guys who might be interested in going to the Philippines to play footy? Let me know. Helen

I'm hoping some Lions can go to represent the USA! Let me know if you are interested and I'll connect you. - SCUBA
