TCSCC Thanks Thanks to Guy Puglia for bringing in the former Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboy to sign autographs at the TCSCC May show. Former Cowboy Drew Pearson proved to be an excellent guest. He even had a film crew there for a segment that will air on his website and cable tv in Dallas. Former Viking Walker Lee Ashley signed for fans a Saturday. Unfortunatly, Anthony Carter and Nate Wright were no-shows. Former Vikings Paul Flatley, Bill Brown, Mick Tingelhoff, Dale Hackbart, Jim Marshall, Rip Hawkins and Carl Eller all signed on Sunday. They seemed to be having a good time talking with the fans and each other about the old days. Former Viking trainer Fred Zamberletti, who lives in the neighborhood, stopped by to catch up with the former players. If you missed the signings check out Guy Puglia's web site The Sports Corner.

TCSCC Charity Program Each month, two new organizations will be recognized and receive donations on behalf of the club. Any current club member can submit an organization for consideration. The only stipulation is that it NOT be a national organization (Cancer Society, ALS, etc.). The purpose is to help Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa organizations in need of some financial assistance for their programs. If you would like to submit an organization, or need more information, please contact Dave Bonde (dandcbonde@charter.net) or 1217 Central Ave., Red Wing, MN. 55066. Information needed is: the name of the organization, purpose for consideration, a contact person with phone number or email address.

Minnesota Twins Card and Minnesota Vikings Card Web Sites: Informational websites for Minnesota Twins and Vikings collectors. The websites offer collectors a chance to view, or even print out, lists of Twins and Vikings cards issued by company, year, individual, and even position. These are great sites for one who often wonders; Do I have all the cards that were issued from this set? These are not for-sale or buy websites either, strictly informational tools.
