Seahawks
Round-Up
Brian
Davis, voice of the Seahawks on the weekly KIRO radio broadcast, is
in the midst of his fourth year delivering the play-by-play to a vast
Pacific Northwest network of fans. As of Sunday’s game, the Hawks are
riding high atop the West division of the NFC, with wins over the other
three teams in their division – St. Louis, Arizona and, last
night, Dennis Erickson’s San Francisco 49-ers. The team’s best start in
its 27-year history gives the Hawks and 4-1 record, with wins over New
Orleans, and the three teams in their division.
Davis
was notably upbeat about the success of the club. A strengthened
offensive line and a re-worked defense orchestrated by Ray Rhodes,
has given the Mike Holmgren-led Seahawks a move to
respectability. Sunday night’s 67,000 fans created the first sell-out
in many memories, as ESPN carried the game live to a nationwide
audience. READ MORE

Thought
for the Week
Some
people think football is a matter of life and death. I don’t like that
attitude! I can assure them it is much more serious than that!

THIS WEEK
Dick Brown will introduce his guests Marcene
McGowen, Health and Safety Expert, who will educate the BBRC on the
importance of general knowledge of CPR and emergency procedures. Buffet
Breakfast begins at 7:00 a.m., followed by the weekly meeting at
7:30 and the program at 8:00. Bring a friend and perform the Heimbigner
maneuver! It’s all this Friday at the Glendale Country Club!
ADMIN CORNER
It’s Fall Clean-Up Time, time for all members to visit
the Members Only section of the website and clean up your Directory
listing. Got a new phone number? A new email address? A new home
address? A new business address? Got Milk? Have you filled out the
categories where you actually tell something about yourself for other
members to read?
Get busy and get your Directory page up to date. It’s
one of the obligations you have as an active BBRC member.
Speaking of fall clean-up, Secretary Callan
has decreed a re-numbering of the badge box, which will be accomplished
immediately following this Friday’s meeting. Except for Jenny
Andrews and Jim Zidar, the rest of you should look for your
badge in a new slot!
