Great win by the A's tonight!  Emile Brown has been an exciting
addition to the A's and another solid performance by the A's starting
pitching.  On the Green Stampede front, the tutoring program has
enjoyed some of its largest classes of students in Stampede history!
Tonight a smaller group came for tutoring, but it was just as vocal
(even though it was very cold this evening).  Our next tutoring
session is tomorrow May 6 from 4:30-6:30 and then the game to follow.

DRAKES EVENT MAY 15

The event at Drakes is finally coming to fruition.  All proceeds will
benefit Oakland Schools.  Tax deductable contributions can be made
via The Green Stampede.  The event will be held from 4-7 PM at Drakes
Brewery in San Leandro and will include beverages and BBQ.  Check out
their website for directions:  www.drinkdrakes.com

TAILGATE PARTY JUNE 12

Our first official tailgate party will be Thursday June 12 versus the
New York Yankees.  This is also the last day for the Oakland Public
Schools so plenty of relieved teachers will also be on hand.  More
info to come.

BOARD MEETING MAY 8

The next board meeting will be this Thursday, May 8 at 7:30 PM at our
offices 645 Canyon Oaks Drive, #A in Oakland.

Hello Everyone,

Great to see the A's doing well in the Cactus League and hope the A's
will continue their winning ways in Japan.  The event that was slated
for Drakes has been changed to April 10 from 4-7 PM at Drakes in San
Leandro.  All proceeds will benefit the Green Stampede and the
students of the Oakland Unified School District.

The first tailgate that had been slated for April 2 has had to be
postponed since Major League Baseball has changed the game from a
night game to a day game.  More info on both events will be
forthcoming.

Go A's!

Hey All!
I have to say it is great to be back in the Bay!! There is no where else like
it! :)  Ok so what is the scoop for opening nite tailgate and all. Cannot wait!
Arlene

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the 2008 season!  While the off-season moves of the A's
may have pointed to a rebuilding year for our A's, the Green Stampede
looks to be stronger than ever.  The Green Stampede tutoring program
will begin its 8th season this year and we look to make it one of our
most successful yet.

To kick off the new year, there are two events scheduled:

THURSDAY March 27, 2008:  Kick-off "tailgate party" at Drakes Brewery
in San Leandro 5 PM

Thursday April 3, 2008:  Annual Board Meeting at 645 Canyon Oaks
Drive, Oakland at 7 PM

The final Green Stampede Board Meeting will take place on Thursday
November 8 at 7 PM at Mi Linda Mazatlan restaurant (1450 Fruitvale Ave)
in Oakland.  We will be wrapping up the season and preparing for next
year, our 7th year of tutoring Oakland students at the Oakland Coliseum!

Have a great week!

The Green Stampede

Hello Green Stampeders,

With much regret, I have to announce that the Green Stampede will not
have their 3rd Annual Haunted House.  There were a number of factors to
go into the decision, but we look forward to restarting it again next
year.  There will be more information for the off-season plans for The
Green Stampede.  Hope all is well and Go Get'm A's next year!

Special Thanks to Dean "Chef Boyardean" Fajardin who is stepping down
as Vice President of the Green Stampede.  Everyone involved with The
Green Stampede knows Dean as the "master griller" at the tailgate
parties as well as his tireless work over the years with the tutoring
program, haunted houses, parties, and clean-up days.  Dean will still
be involved with The Green Stampede, however he is stepping down as
Vice President in order to take care of some personal affairs.  Dean
has been the backbone of our organization and a tireless supporter of
the students of Oakland and members of The Green Stampede.  We can
never fully repay Dean for all of his great work and kindness and he
can not be replaced.  We only wish Dean well and thank him for his
continued support.  The Board has appointed Maria Leon as the new Vice
President with elections to come at our January General Board Meeting.
Thanks again and Go A's!

Hey chris this is dan you should give rob a call and come watch us spin this
friday night at a nice sushi place in fremont. It would be good to see you its
been awhile. Robs number is 510-856-7448 and he has all the details.Casual dress
enforced.

Hello Everyone,

  The last tutoring session was yesterday, and even though the A's were
  swept by Seattle, the Green Stampede/Oakland A's Homework Club went out
  on a high note.  A's pitcher (and Stockton native) Dallas Braden
  visited the Green Stampede students and discussed the importance of
  education along with athletics.  "I always made sure to have my
  homework done" Braden said,"or else I would not be able to go to
  baseball practice the next day."  Dallas is currently finishing a
  degree in psychology and is enjoying his major league experience.  We
  appreciate the A's community relations department with Detra Paige and
  Warren Chu and appreciate Dallas Braden for visiting the students.

  The next homework session will be in April 2008!

  The last event of the Green Stampede this year is the Haunted House
  project with Theta Delta Chi Fraternity in Berkeley.  More information
  will be forthcoming.

  take care and Go A's!

Tonight on the post-game show, they replayed highlights from the A's 20
game streak culminating in Hatteburg's walk-off homerun.  The A's will
not be doing anything remotely like that, but it is nice to reminisce.

The tutoring program has three more dates for the 2007 season:
Thursday, September 13, Monday September 17, and Tuesday September 18.

There will be a board meeting on Friday September 14 at 8 PM at 645
Canyon Oaks Drive #A, Oakland.  For more information, call 510-562-2506

Topics will include the Haunted House and off-season moves by The Green
Stampede.  Hope all is well and Go A's!

Thank you to the Greenstampede members that showed up to the last School Board
Meeting in support of Christopher.? It meant a lot to the Dobbins Family.
Christopher has dedicated so much of his time to try a make Oakland a better
community. There are certain members of the school board that are trying to ruin
his political career.? There is a short school board meeting on Wednesday,
August 22, 2007 to vote on giving Christopher a Censure - which is a permanent,
public mark on his record. There is a group of people in support of Christopher
that will be showing up to the meeting. If anyone is interested, the meeting is:
?
August 22, 2007, 6:00pm
The Oakland Unified School District Headquarters
1025 2nd Ave., Oakland, CA
The Board Room, 1st floor, room at the far right

Any support is greatly appreciated.? This is the only item on the meeting's
agenda, so it will be a short, 30 minute meeting.? Thank you.

Corinne
