3rd Annual Fin-Atics' Christmas Party December, 1996

Greg Geldart
Expecting sitcks and coal again, Greg was overcome with emotion when he saw Santa with his goody bag.

The Christmas Party, held December 15 at the Mill, had an estimated turn out of 100-150 Fin-Atics this year with each family donating a gift to the Toys-for-Tots.

Our players also received Christmas Packages from the fan club consisting of homebaked cookies, fresh fruit and a gift.

Some of the "special things" that happened were 1) under the direction of "Captain Cal" the rookies sang Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer; 2) Matt Johnson modeled his new "monkey slippers," 3) the Tiger Sharks learned they had another goalie by the name of Mark Richards (he's only 2 or 3 though and no competition ... yet), and 4) Santa made an appearance.

We would like to thank Faye and Judy of Faye's Florist for the centerpieces for the tables. Also, we would like to thank everyone who baked goodies for the players or participated in setting-up, checking-in and collecting the Toys-for-Tots donations.

Thank you Fin-Atics for making our Christmas Party such a success.

The captions say it all. So much so in fact, that we had a super hard time trying to decide on one that we decided to print them all. You try and decide!

1) Matt learned his lesson - never tell the Fin-Atics "anything" on a gift list. When told he had to mdel his gift, he was quite relieved it was only a pair of monkey slippers.
2) "Wow...and they're my size too. You really, really didn't have to do it."

1) What's wrong with his picture...no beard?
2) Lakovic confuses his daughter.

"All I want are my front teeth...and a set for Jimmy...and a set for Wes...and a set for..."

Sick with the flu, Coach decided the Front Office fruit box was just the thing he needed. Vitamin C, you know.
(in case you're wondering, we decided to stop while we were ahead!)

The rookies sing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer

1) The Vienna Boys Choir? Uh, guys, don't give up your day job.
2) "Fa laa la la...la...la la Fa laa...la la Fa Fa la, aw whatever!
3) Jock Jams (Christmas edition) coming soon to QVC
4) Gruber: If I hide behind Aaron, maybe everyone will forget I was here.
5) General though: Cal, I know where you live!

1) "Hey Santa, since you can't drink and fly, I'll take that."
2) "Is this the stuff that really makes reindeer fly?"

1) Jason does his Vanna impression.
2) Just add water.
3) Auditioning Ferrari spokes model.
