July promises to be a sports month for the AFA Tennessee Chapter. On Thursday, 1 July, the Chapter will in a Huntsville Stars baseball game at Joe Davis Stadium (located on South Memorial Parkway). The Stars have struggled a bit this year but the “air power” that our Chapter brings will surely provide them the firepower necessary to handle the Chattanooga Lookouts. Besides, Thursday’s are “Thirst Day” at Joe Davis Stadium, with beers just $2, so that is bound to help rooting for the home team. Plan is for folks to purchase their own tickets (just $8 for all seats). We’ll rally once inside. Friends and guests are encouraged - See you at the game At the end of the month (Saturday, 31 July) the Chapter will get together to watch the Huntsville Vipers take on Utah Blaze at Von Braun Center. We have four free tickets, so we’ll combine them with however many tickets we need to reduce our overall price. In that light, we’ll need to know how many tickets to purchase no later than Friday, 30 July. We’ll coordinate our rendezvous outside the Von Braun Center. For more information regarding either event, contact Russ Lewey (256-425-8791 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).
