The guys at the MVPCC have been making nice name tags that even I
can read from a distance.
I think it would be a great idea if all the clubs took up this idea. I
had been looking all around the
meet up at Tower Park for someone I knew on this list. He actually

on going. It wasn't until I got home
and exchanged email with him that I found this out.
