The Orlando Touchdown Club
Greetings everyone! Fall dinner meeting, #2, with former coach, HOUSTON NUTT, was unbelievably great! For anyone who missed it, we are truly sorry but we will try and bring Coach Nutt back next year. YES, he really was that good!
Our club is strong on entertainment! Along with a new speaker at every meeting,Mike Bianchi and Marc Daniels are with us all season long. This makes each dinner meeting a very special event with THREE terrific speakers every time we meet.

Mon, Nov. 12 Mark Packer, #1 personality on Sirius XM Radio, ESPNU, channel 84!!! This gentleman, besides being one of our favorite people - 9 straight appearances, has gone way out of his way to help us land other speakers. Mark is a great friend of the OTC!

Mon, Dec. 3 Charles Davis, former star def. back at Univ. of TN and now with FOX Sports as a football analyst. Very few people can deliver a message as real and sincere as Charles Davis. He is the perfect speaker to end our season with.
