Former Crab, Ex-Pro, Dane Iorg Set as Keynote Speaker at Pre-Season June 6 Banquet
If you were to build a keynote speaker from scratch, you couldn’t create a better person to inspire, instruct and entertain our 2008 team than local baseball product Dane Iorg. You only need to read through pages 8 - 12 in the 2007 Crabs Program Book to get the flavor of this man. Dane will aim his remarks directly at our 2008 team and we’ll have the chance to “eavesdrop” as he lets the guys know what it takes to make it to - and stay - in “the show.” As an added bonus, this year’s pre-season banquet is aiming to raise enough auction dollars to replace the outdated and hard to see through chain link backstop. In response to the Crabs’ effort to improve the City-owned ball park, we welcome the City of Arcata as co-sponsor for this year’s event.
Our “Skipper,” Matt Nutter will introduce the ’08 team and preview what to expect in his 3rd year at the helm. There’ll be great live and silent auction items and there’s always plenty of time and opportunity to schmooze with old Crabs Baseball friends and meet the 2008 team. A meal and new location (The Arcata Community Center) is just $20.00 for adults and $15.00 for youth 12 and under. The buffet dinner choices are BBQ chicken or veggie lasagna with everything.
As always: ADVANCE TICKETS ONLY. The no-host bar opens 6:00, dinner served at 7:00. Again, if you don’t have an advance-purchase ticket, you can’t get in! People will be talking about this dinner long after the 64th season of Crabs Baseball is over - get yourself into the conversation by getting yourself to the Arcata Community Center on Friday, June 6…just across US 101 from the Arcata Ball Park.
Tickets are available at Ray’s Food Place or by filling out and mailing the TICKET ORDER FORM along with payment.
