Team “Patriotism” Takes Early Lead in “Fantasy Council” League

Manager Jerry Schultz can be very proud of his “Fantasy Council” team as Team PATRIOTISM leads the league after our first month of scoring.  As of September 30, 2009, team PATRIOTISM had accrued 38 points for their participation in council activities such as the monthly meeting (2 points per member), corporate communion (3 points per member), working the monthly breakfast (2 points per member), and working a shift at the Texas Hold’Em tournament (2 points per member).

Jim Simpson and his team “Sacred Heart” are on the heels of team Patriotism with 35 points.  Team “DIGNITY” managed by Vern Weisenberger is in third place through our first month with 30 points.  The balance of the standings are as follows:

• “HOSPITALITY” (Jack Jamieson, Manager)                      25 points
• “VERCELLI” (Terry Morano, Manager)                               21 points
• “COLUMBIAN” (Todd Diffenderfer, Manager)                   18 points
• “FRATERNITY” (Greg Zerber, Manager)                             17 points
• “EVANGELISM” (George Garcia, Manager)                        16 points
• “McGIVNEY” (Mike Godfrey, Manager)                               13 points
• “VOCATION” (Scott Champine, Manager)                           12 points
• “CHARITY” (Mike Brisbois, Manager)                                10 points
• “HOLY CROSS” ((Steve Brown, Manager)                          10 points

With the fall M I Drive coming up this weekend (1 point per man-hour), the spaghetti dinner (2 points) on Saturday, October 17th, and the Fish Fry ( 2 points) on Saturday, October 24th, there are plenty of opportunities to score points for your team.

About Our Fantasy Council
We had discussed having officers  “draft” council members whom they would be responsible for encouraging to attend meetings as a means of improving participation at meetings and other council activities.  I thought as long as we were “drafting”, why not have some fun and form a “Fantasy Council League”.  Like fantasy sports leagues, we have created a number of teams each “managed” by an officer.  The officers have ‘drafted’ their players from among the general membership and will work throughout the year to keep their team informed and motivated to become increasingly active in council activities.  I have assigned point values to a number of activities which we would like to particularly emphasize this year to motivate each team to friendly ‘co-opetition’ in pursuing our objectives.  Together we can create a council which others only imagine possible in their wildest fantasy. Good Luck!   —  Tom Convery, GK & Fantasy Leaugue Commissioner
