2010 DIRECTOR'S CUP - THE DRIVE FOR FIVE!

 

 

 


So preparations for the 2010 Director's Cup are under way! We will be traveling to Vancouver on October 16th for the 6th annual Director's Cup. We will also be attending a B.C. Lions game. The Lions will be playing the Toronto Argonauts at old Empire Field. I was at a game this last weekend and Empire is amazing! The Lions are not very good but being able to watch a game at Empire is worth the price of admission. I have also booked the Presidential Suite at the Best Western in Abbotsford. We should all be able to sleep in this suite, it is huge! Anyways, time to start dreaming about the 2010 Director's Cup!

BTLN BIRTHDAYS - AUGUST

 


It is now August and that means that it is only a month until Battalion is back! So many things need to happen before September. Summer is nearly as busy as the rest of the year. Anyways it is time to honor all those in the Btln Nation that have birthdays this month.

1 Thessalonians 5:23,24 - May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.
(Notice that it is God that is going to sanctify you and keep you blameless! He is faithful and he will do it!)

Happy Birthday and God bless you!

Owen Knopp - August 1
Steven Feenstra - August 13
Ryan Floesser - August 22
