PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

 

What a great Meet-A-Member we had last Thursday!  My special thanks to Carter Funk of Deluxe Cleaners for sponsoring this event. I, along with many of our members, enjoyed meeting his family and staff and learning about his impressive business operation.

 

This newsletter is beeing published on Sunday, February 5, 2012 and it's a Super Bowl Sunday!  Like many of you, I will be watching the NFL Super Bowl XLVI -- Giants vs Patriots.  To get you in the spirits, I'd like to offer you some Super Bowl trivia... So, here are

10 Super Bowl Trivia Questions:  

 

1) What year was the first Super Bowl played?  

2) In what city was the first Game played?

3) Name the teams that played in the first Game, and who won?

4) Which team(s) have played in the most Super Bowl Games?    

5) Which team has won the most Super Bowl Games?    

6) Which team made it to the Super Bowl in consecutive years:

   1991, 1992, 1993, and 1994, but lost each Game?    

7) Which team(s) have lost the most Super Bowl Games?    

8) Who was named Most Valuable Player at the Super Bowl XLV

    Game in 2011?    

9) Which team has won every time it has played in the Super Bowl?    

10) What position on a team has received the most Super Bowl MVP

      awards? 

 

How did you do? -- Look for the trivia answers at the end of this newsletter. Enjoy the big game and I will see you on Wednesday.

 

Galina Schott,

2012 SBMC President
