Hello Packer Fans!! We had an awesome picnic yesterday and it was great
to see all of those who came out!! We had a incredible turnout and we
had some great activities. We missed those who were not there.

Dave and Colleen was our champions on the Hilbilliy Golf (Ladder Golf for
those who don’t know what that is). Great job Colleen and Dave!!
Our winners on the Washers were Traci and Jerry Garner.

We had a great sponsors meeting with very good attendance! Thank you to
those that attended. We look forward to the upcoming season with the new
Sponors item!

For those who missed out from the picnic, you missed some great Wisconsin
style CUSTARD from PEAKS Frozen Custard. Those who have had frozen
custard know how great this is. Those who even tried it for the first
time really enjoyed it.

Lot’s of great food, great fun at the picnic and great people. We had a tremendous kickoff to the 2011 season. We look to have a great season and awesome year for the NWPB. After the picnic a big group of us went to the Mustard Seed to watch our Packers and had a great time!

We look forward to seeing all of you on Opening Kickoff on Spetember 8th.
GO PACK!

The Club has held two Sponsor’s meetings, the first was on April 16th with a post season super bowl party afterward. The next one was on June 4th and bowling after. There were quite a few Sponsors in attendance and quite a few items were discussed. It pays to attend these Sponsor meetings in more ways than one! Some of the items discussed were as follows:

• The Club had a great season in 2010. We had a total of 85 Sponsors sign up. It was the best year for Sponsor sign ups the Club has ever had. The Club much appreciates your involvement. Let’s hope we break that record next season!
• You will notice some great changes at the Mustard Seed next season. The VIP seating area will be moved from the corner of the pub to the middle of the Packer area. The VIP seating area will now seat around 10 people! Ken has also added approximately 40 seats in the Club area. He is also changing around the back area to add another 20-25 seats. More old TV’s will be replaced with new flat screens. The buffet will continue with pricing still at $8.99 for Sponsors and $11.99 for non-sponsors. It will be moved to the area by the pool tables to better control traffic flow. Kids will have more access in the Club area. Ken has new ropes that he can now rope off the area between the bar and pool tables. This will increase family seating. Budweiser is now the official sponsor of the NFL and beer specials will be announced closer to the beginning of the season. The crew at the Mustard continues to greatly support the Club and we will do the same!!
• There will also be some changes on how VIP seating will be decided. VIP seating will still continue to be for Sponsor’s only. The drawing for VIP seating will be done a week in advance and you must be in attendance if your name is drawn to let Gary or Jerry know if you will be at the next game and want the VIP seats. For the opening week’s game, the name will be drawn at the summer picnic. So make sure you attend the picnic and you may be the lucky Sponsor who gets the first shot at the VIP seats. Also be aware that the VIP area now seats 10 people, so if you are chosen, bring family and friends to join you. Ken will not want to see empty seats so you will be asked to have others join you! If you win VIP seats, you must arrive 30 minutes prior to kickoff or you will loose them!!
• There was much discussion on what type of NWPB promo items to have for next season and also what Sponsor item will be given with a paid sponsorship. We discussed jersey’s, hats, shirts, hoodies, etc. The costs associated with these items were also mulled over. By a vote of attending Sponsors, the NWPB promo items chosen were car magnets and logo’d beer pint glasses. The Sponsor item will be a badge holder and lanyard. The badge holders will be very nice with a zippered pouch that can hold other things as well. There may be an additional item for those who decide to pay for a higher tier of Club Sponsorship. Pricing for sponsorship will not change, but the tiers may be restructured.
• It was also decided that we wanted to have the picnic closer to the start of the season so the annual Club Picnic will be held on Saturday, August 13th starting at noon at Lake Sammamish State Park! The Club will provide condiments, plates, utensils, and charcoal for grilling. You just bring food and drink to share. There will be games and prizes! A Sponsor meeting will be held during the picnic and also a Sponsor drive to get as many Sponsors on board early! It will be a fun time as always!

That concludes the minutes from these off season Sponsor meeting. If you wish you voice to be heard, please attend these meetings. Remember, this is your Club and GO PACKERS!

VP Jerry Garner was contacted by a writer at NFL.com doing a story on the Madden 12 Cover Model Contest. The Club and quotes from Jerry are in the article. Check out the article here! We are happening man!!!! I think it is safe to say that we are glad Rodgers lost and doesn’t have to worry about the “Madden Curse”!

 Now that is a nice bike. We will have to get some info from them to add to the picture!

Where to start…Super Bowl Champs seems appropriate! What an unbelievable ride this season was. No matter the injuries or obstacles, our Packers overcame all expectations to bring the Lombardi Trophy back home! America’s true team! How fun to win it in Jerry Jones new stadium.
I want to give my personal Thanks once again not only to all the Sponsors of the NWPB and the fans who were guests of the NWPB but also to an Amazing group of dedicated individuals. You’re Club Officers, Jerry & Traci Garner, Joe Givens and the Sponsors who dove in to help us during the season. The NWPB saw its BEST year in our 20 year history thanks to all of you. This club has become what I dreamed because of all of you!
Thank You…Gary

Wow! What a year! Our beloved Packers are Super Bowl Champions and I am ready for them to repeat! I see this team to be on the cusp of Championship seasons; Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson have done a great job building this team for the future. Let’s go Pack and show them how great the Packers can be. The players are sure hungry for more. Repeat! Repeat! Repeat!I want to thank all of you I have met for the first time as well as those I have known for some time. It is and always will be my pleasure to make you feel welcome and at home.  I look forward to seeing you all each and every game day. Without you, there is no us. Thank you all for being part of a special group of people. Many of you have seen my own children grow up before your very eyes. They truly enjoy coming each game day to watch the Packers! I am looking forward to seeing you all at the upcoming off-season events and the off-season picnic. I also look forward to new and exciting challenges of the next upcoming football season.
Go Pack! Sincerely,
Jerry

Our season has come and gone so fast…too fast! And now the Packers are Super Bowl Champions. I want to thank you all for participating in the 3^rd quarter raffle to help us make donations to our charities that we support. It really warms my heart when we can help children and others who are in need of help. Your participation really makes a difference.
Thank you,
Traci

SUPER BOWL XLV WINNERS!!

The Lombardi Trophy has come back to Green Bay where it belongs after 14 long years! What a season and what a ride it was. The Green Bay Packers showed what a very good team could do in the face of adversity. We lost many of our starters at the beginning of the season and had some rocky patches, yet we came from being a sixth seed playoff contender, to going all the way and winning the big one! It was the best Super Bowl game we have seen in many years. Thanks to all the fans around the country who support the Packers through thick and thin, and many thanks to all of our Club supporters who made this season one of the most successful ever. Keep coming back to the site for off season news, Sponsor meeting dates, and Club Picnic. Have a great off season and we’ll see you in August!!!! GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!

We did it, we took down da Bears and are now headed for Dallas to meet the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV! I’d rather have seen the Jets, but it will be a classic, hard fought game between two awesome teams! I am sure the hosting network will rake in the bucks! We had a packed house at the Mustard Seed, probably the biggest crowd ever! Check out the video below:
 

Pictures are here!!! GO PACKERS!!!!!

The Packers have taken one more step on the road to the Super Bowl by handily taking down the number one seeded Atlanta Falcons! Almost 400 Packer Fans packed the Mustard Seed for the big win. Even one of our local television stations KING 5 News dropped in and filmed the crowd and interviewed some of us! Now why would one of our local television stations show up at our club…. because we are the BIGGEST PACKER FAN CLUB in the Pacific Northwest that’s why!!

With that said…….IT AIN’T OVER YET!!!!!! Next step is heading to the windy city of Chicago where we have to face da Bears!!  I would have rather faced the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game, but I believe we can put the Bears back in their den and go back to hibernation until next season! GO PACK!

Waving the Packer towels!

Showing the Packer love!

Nice overalls Terry!
