The groundhog came and went, and so did January. It’s cold again, and Winter Games might even see some snow! Yee-ha! Let’s hope Syracuse sees the foot plus they’re predicting! It’d be a pleasant change of pace from the deluge of Binghamton!

PAST EVENTS
The Regional Floor Hockey Team Competition at the Mark Twain Sports Complex in Yonkers had 13 teams registered for this competition. Nancy Logan was kind enough, with the help of Kristine Burton and Charlie Jones to do the division and four teams took home gold, silver, and bronze medals, as well as some ribbons. There were over 190 athletes and coaches in attendance. Kudos to Bones and Co. for doing a fine job rounding up the officials for the day. Special thanks to all those that officiated. As always, you did an outstanding job!
Special Note of Thanks via Ted Mascola: Ted wishes to thank all of you who attended and/or made donations to the 'Moon Over Buffalo' Elmwood Playhouse Tennis Benefit on January 29. The benefit was a rousing success and surpassed expectations. Special kudos are due to the gracious cast and crew of this fabulous production for giving their time and energy.
