DID YOU MISS LAST WEEK'S MEETING? HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
SCOTT PERRY DISCUSSED HIS BOOK, NFL SINCE 1970
.png) Our timing couldn't have been more perfect, having the NFL expert present on the same day as the first pre-season Bronco game! And speaking of the Broncos, Perry ranks them second only to the Steelers as the winningest NFL team.
NFL Since 1970 is a compilation of NFL standings since the AFL/NFL merger in 1970. This book is illustrated by the helmets worn over the course of every game played and geared to all fans. His blog gives the reader Perry's take on current NFL games and how they effect team rankings in wins since the merger. An informative read on current and historical NFL events.
Editor's Note: not sure why Scott chose his press photo to be shot at Coors Field instead of Sports Authority at Mile High. Perhaps because new naming rights have yet to be confirmed!

There were 2 chances each for the women and the men in the closest to the pin category. The 2 Jan's tied for one with Jane Kucharski winning the other.
Bill Simmermon lucked out (er, I mean was skilled!) and won both for the men. His luck held out, as he & family left the next morning for Australia!

GREAT GALA!
YOU'LL SURELY ENJOY THE ENTERTAINMENT!
Our Gala accomplishes a lot. Not only does it raise the funds for the club to do it's good works, it's also a time to party down with members and guests. Over the years, there has been various entertainers, but this year, not only do we have a comedian, but he is also an Air Force vet.
Meet Jose Sarduy, an Air Force pilot who is also a comedian! According to Jose, a Cuban, he had a hard time getting to Colorado Springs because there were no bodies of water for him to cross! He does stand alone and is part of the GIs of Comedy, a group who are all veterans of the US Military.
Gathering material from a wealth of life experiences, Jose takes audiences on the rollercoaster ride that’s been his life. Born in Cuba and deported because of his father’s political prisoner status, he came to the U.S. at a young age. Growing up with a hard working, and always quirky, Cuban family brought loads of funny moments everyday. From his mother’s ability to kill a chicken with her bare hands, to his Dad’s ability to hit on any woman, anytime, there was never a dull moment. What they did best was teach him to work hard for his dreams, and not forget how to laugh at life and himself. He made them proud when, after high school, he was accepted to the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. He became an officer in the Air Force, is an accomplished aviator, and is a veteran having served in Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He’s been all over the world and has even been shot at in two countries. This and more he brings to the stage believing that, “if you can’t laugh at a hard time in your life, you ain’t over it yet.”
His comedy career started out in New York and Philadelphia, getting on stage anytime he wasn’t serving. He performs all over the world now and is an audience favorite for his ability to make deportation, and life threatening moments hysterical.
 He’s been featured in the Air Force Times, was selected for the 2007 Latino Laugh Festival in Los Angeles, and the Lucky 21 Contest at The Comedy Festival in Las Vegas. In 2008 he won the Funniest Person In South Texas Comedy Competition and was a semi-finalist in the San Francisco International Comedy Competition. In 2009, he was a finalist in the Seattle International Comedy Competition. In 2011 he was the winner of the Rocky Mountain Laugh Off in Salt Lake City, UT. He’s been seen on CNN, CBS, Fox, and Lifetime’s “Coming Home” with his touring group, The GIs of Comedy, and on NUVO TV’s “Comedy Unfiltered,” with Anjela Johnson. He was the co-host of NUVO TV’s "Stand Up and Deliver" which aired three seasons, and he appeared on Fox TV's "Laughs" in 2015-16 in two season as both a performer and host. Most nights you can find him on stage somewhere, but one week a month, its all dog tags and volleyball, down in Texas, teaching the next generation of top guns the basics.
