The A's have looked solid in the opening of the Spring Training 2003
season and it looks like the A's are on their way to another
successful year. The talks with Tejada appear to be optimistic
(much more than they were with Giambi) and the idea of new ownership,
with intent to stay in Oakland, is promising.

The Green Stampede will have a general meeting this Friday March 7 at
St. Paschal's Church in Oakland - 3700 Dorisa. This will be the last
general meeting before the season starts. Meeting will begin at
around 7:15 and will last no longer than 1 hour. Refreshments and
beverages will be provided. You will be able to purchase the new
2003 Green Stampede shirts ($10 each or 3 for $25) with ALL proceeds
to benefit The Green Stampede Programs.

In addition, the A's are offering special ticket plans to all Green
Stampede memebers. Don't miss out on this opportunity.

The third point of business will be the St. Patrick's Day Dance on
Saturday March 15. We have pre-sold over 100 tickets so this will be
a great event and again all proceeds will benefit the tailgate
parties and the tutoring program.

Special thanks this week go to Cathy Bullard who printed all of the
tickets and put the information together about the party and Edwin
Wong who fixed a couple of issues with the website. Thanks again and
look forward to seeing everyone this Friday.

Go A's!!!
