KBB DawgPound Updates
December 2022
Kent Browns Backers,
As of right now, we will not be back at Water Street Tavern for the rest of the season. The American Legion will be open for Christmas Eve but NOT New Year’s Day. We would like to thank Water Street for all of their support this NFL season.
The 2022 NFL season is almost over, so that means we will start looking towards the 2023 season soon. On January 8th, 2023 at 12pm at the Kent American Legion, we will be having our annual meeting and board election. At this meeting, we will talk about the state of the club and review what we have done over 2022. The board election will follow right afterwards. Attendance is open to everyone but voting is limited to only current Kent Browns Backers members. Per our Charter and Bylaws, All three at large board positions are up for re-election every year. This year, we have three people that are running against our two current board members. They are Craig Hunter, Lucky Tisch, and Paul “Woody” Randell. Good luck to everyone running.
(This might be the same day as the Browns Week 18 game vs the Steelers. Every game that week is current TBA, with games being possible for both Saturday and Sunday. It’s very possible this meeting and election will take place right before that game)
Super Bowl Sunday is on February 12th, 2023. We will be having our usual Super Bowl Party and Chili Cook-off that day. Entry to the Cook-off is free and chili must be entered by 6pm. Judging will follow at 6:30pm. During the game, we will have door prizes and raffles going on. We will also be pulling a winner for the bottle of Western Reserve, autographed by Hanford Dixon and Frank Minnifield. Tickets for that are still available at the Kent American Legion for only $5 each. We will even be having a sale on our clothing too. Regardless of who is playing in the game and who the halftime show is, we always have a great time with one last backers event of the season.
As the Kent Browns Backers, we are more than just meeting at bars and watching football. We believe in giving back to our members, as well as the community. Every year, we budget funds to give to local causes and this year is no different. At a recent board meeting, we decided to give to the following:
- Hope United ($1,000)
- Brimfield Community Cupboard ($1,000)
- Portage Animal Protective League ($1,000)
- Hattie Larlham ($1,000)
- Kent Roosevelt Athletic Dept. ($1,000)
- Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research ($1,500)
All of this could not be done without the help of you, our members. So, Thank you to all the Kent Browns Backers for making all of this possible.
The snow may be starting to fall on the ground for the winter but we‘re already starting to plan for June and our 22nd annual KBB 4-Person Charity Gold Scramble. Sign-up sheets and more info can be found HERE.
That’s everything we have going on right now, til the Super Bowl, and a little bit of June. As always, you can continue to stay up-to-date with us via our NEW newsletter, this website, and all of our social media.
Thank you for your support of the Kent Browns Backers
