Our next "Thirsty Thursday" will take place at 5:30pm on Thursday, February 2nd, at The Junction Steakhouse restaurant on Jamacha in El Cajon. Everyone is welcome!
"Come Thirsty my Friends"

Today's Speaker
Kevin Acee, Union Tribune sportswriter, provided the group with a fantastic presentation today.
As might be expected, Kevin provided a great behind-the-scenes look at what went on with the Chargers recent decision to move to wherever. He also provided some good information about the potential uses for the current stadium site. A great Q&A session followed with much talk about the SDSU Aztecs and a joint use stadium with an MLS team.
Kevin was very open about asking for input from San Diego sports fans about what they want to read and hear about now that the Chargers are not going to be the sports focus of San Diego. The big question of the day - Where do we go from here?
Let me tell you what I would have done
I pray for them to come back. What am I going to do with all the extra time?
You want some of this Dean?
Kevin gives us an update on the possible uses for the current stadium site..
Listen Kevin, Here's what I would have done.
So, like I said, I'm really not sure what the future holds

And The Winning Ticket Goes To....
Bobbi was the lucky winner of the drawing this week...
There were only three marbles left and the black proved to be elusive and is still there. The current jackpot is $306 and that will likely increase next week with only 2 marbles left. GOOD LUCK!
