the season and the first tailgate party. In addition, there will be
committee reports and other pertinent information. Refreshments and
beverages will be served.

music played and a great mix of people. Only $10 single, $15 a

TUTORING PROGRAM

The tutoring program committee met last week and the program and
curriculum are already established. Keith Brown and Jennifer Lee
will give a full discussion this Friday. In addition, if you are
interested in volunteering or participating, we will have a brief
committee meeting after the board meeting. Special thanks to A's
Community Relations director Detra Paige for already getting us the
tickets.

RALLY COMMITTEE

In order to increase The Green Stampede presence in Section 145, we
have created and are in the process of finishing two new signs
(thank you cyndi and vicky). We will also have a Youth report by
Cesar and the new "Top 10 t-shirts" and the "Green Stampede Country"
shirts and beanies will be available.

GREEN STAMPEDE SEASON TICKETS

Also at the meeting this Friday will be a representative from the
A's to give all Green Stampeders a deal on season tickets. I got
mine yesterday and they look great. Prices are reasonable and don't
get left out!

A'S FAN RADIO

A'S Fan Radio is getting ever closer to reality. Thanks to
Raiderfan Radio and Committee Chairs Frances Brooks and Jerveece
White for all of the work. We will have a full report on Friday.

Finally, the A's are in first place in the Cactus League and look to
get off to a great start. The season is almost here and it looks
like the first game will be Barry Zito vs. Garcia or Jaime Moyer.
Thanks to everyone who has helped out in the offseason and joined
THe Green Stampede (thanks to all for also listening and reading my
rambling emails...:)

Have a great week, GO A's! and see everyone Friday.
