SEMBB members,
Thanks for being among the 90 Browns Backers who have confirmed continuing interest in our club and provided updated contact information.
We are excited about renewing the vitality of our 20-year-old chapter and invite your ideas for promoting more engagement – game-day activities, special events, charities to support, etc.
Club member Tom Donovan (tsdonovan@gmail.com) writes that he has lots of Browns memorabilia he’d like to give club members the first chance to acquire. Items include a signed Joe Thomas jersey, Bernie Kosar and Josh Cribbs jerseys, framed photos (Cribbs, Leroy Kelly, Jerome Harrison, Josh Gordon, Mike Pruitt), 1980 Kardiac Kids lithograph signed by Sam Rutiliano, and more. Feel free to email Tom directly with your interest.
On that note, as we work to build our club’s collection of raffle prizes and auction items, please consider donating any surplus Browns-related memorabilia to our SEMBB group. This will help us raise funds for future events and charitable endeavors. Thank you to Dick Nolan for already kick-starting this effort!
Thanks also to Jack Scheible, manager of our website maybethisyear.com, for continuing our club’s public presence and contributing the costs for the site’s hosting.
We’re in the early stages of planning a special event to celebrate the club’s 20-year anniversary, so stay tuned as we consider venues, dates, and possible player appearances. As always, we welcome your thoughts and appreciate your kindred spirit in support of our shared Browns football fanaticism.
Stay warm and bark hard,
Susan Wehinger, president
Dave Algase, vice president
