PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE, SEPTEMBER 2023

Dear HWBC Membership

My friends, the long wait for hockey is almost over!  Preseason NHL games begin in just a few more days!

This past Monday, September 11, 2023, was our first Membership meeting of the 2023/2024 season.  I'd like to personally thank the members that made the trip to Bobby V's in Windsor Locks through the driving rain.  I also want to thank the Bobby V's staff who took care of us while we were there, they did a tremendous job.  The food and service were so good that the membership in attendance requested we return for October.  So, we can announce the October Membership meeting will be held Monday, October 9, 2023, at Bobby V's, 11 Schoephoester Road, Windsor Locks, CT. at 7:00pm.  Club members usually arrive earlier than 7:00 to eat and share stories before the meeting.  We hope you join us!

A friendly reminder that it’s time to renew membership dues. Dues for the season are $10 and can be paid online at www.whalersbc.org, by check or money order, sent to HWBC, PO Box 273, Hartford, CT 06141, or in person at a membership meeting.

The club has decided on a NHL game to attend in the 2023/2024 season, but we need the help of the membership to determine the best option in terms of seating.  We are hoping to attend the Carolina Hurricanes/New Jersey Devils game at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Saturday, March 9, at 12:30pm.  We have 3 price options...and the option you, our membership selects, is the price option we will use on the trip.  Please visit our front page and click on what you think is the best option that fits your budget.  The poll will be active until Friday, September 22, 2023, at midnight.

Lastly, please save March 16, 2024 on your calendar.  That is the day the HWBC will march in Hartford's St. Patrick's Day parade, the day where we all wear our green and blue, and remind everyone that we are still a NHL city, and that we want our team back!  More information on this, and the other big event for that day, as the months roll on.

The board thanks you for your continued loyalty, and as always, if you have any suggestions as to how to improve the club, please do not hesitate to contact myself, or any other board member. 

GO WHALERS!

Sincerely

Mark Anderson

President/Membership Director
