Danville Rotary Club Blog: All About Football

Ron Monts was the program chair last week. Eric Ivie was our speaker. Eric is a contributor to Yahoo Sports and is the owner of Red Zone Writing. Eric is covering all sports, but has a niche for Arena Football. Eric gave us a brief overview of what Arena Football is and how it is different from playing in the NFL. Suzanne was very interested in hiring Eric to manage her Rotary Fantasy Football Team. Eric has press passes for most Arena Football games. The games run from March to August so that they do not overlap that of the NFL. Most players are paid about $400 per game with a $50 win bonus. Most of these guys play as a second job. You can learn more about writing, football or Arena Football by following Eric from his website.

Congratulations to all Rotarians for bringing guests to our Rotary meeting this week. Visitors included: Mike Larr (Huntington Bank), Duane Lane (Lane Reality and LPM Properties), Luke Stevenson (Running for School Board), and Mandy Shelly (Danville Chiropractic). Please get an application to each of these individuals if they have an interest in joining.

This Labor Day weekend was all about football. A few Rotarians and their spouses attended the Purdue football game. There was a visit from Purdue Pete and Olympic Gold metal winner, David Boudia. A big thank you to Charlie and Jennifer Jones for their hospitality before, during and after the game.

Don't forget that all Rotarian are able to attend the board meeting that will be Thursday morning at 7:30am at Court House Grounds. It counts as a make up.
