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

It will be a family event so bring the kids. The club will supply burgers, hot dogs, and sodas, just bring a side and a beach chair. We'll meet at the beach where Ocean Blvd, F Ave, and Isabella
