Yes, that is right, folks—Tiger Tom’s. Tiger is a long-time OSC supporter and roster advertiser, and he has promised happy hour pricing on beverages. Rumor has it, he also will offer one or more food specials just for OSC!!
You do not want to miss this evening. We will be having drawings all evening long for door prizes, including T-shirts and other apparel and items contributed by some of Tiger’s beverage distributors. Also, weather permitting, we will be enjoying Tiger’s heated outdoor patio/beer garden (we will be inside otherwise). So let us make this evening a blast and also show our appreciation to Tiger for his years of support for OSC.
As always, everyone is invited, especially Gene and the golfers!! I hope to see you there!! . . .

The Omaha Sports Club Annual Affair was held Friday, September 12, at the German-American Society and culminated with three-plus hours of dancing to live music provided by Omaha’s premier band "Rough Cut." OSC’s largest social event of the year had kicked off at 5:00 p.m. with a happy hour featuring hors d'oeuvres and free drinks until 8:00 p.m., which then was followed by a short business meeting.
During the meeting, the club’s nominating committee members announced the club’s new executive officers, who were elected earlier that evening. Lois Dorn was elected to her first term as president, and Bob Godek was elected to his first term as vice president. Thirteen-year club member Sandy Martin was re-elected as secretary, and Pat Martinson was elected as treasurer. This year’s winners of the club’s Man and Woman of the Year awards also were announced during the meeting.
Liz Anderson was selected as "Women of the Year" in recognition of her contributions to the club during the last year. Eddie Donaldson (on the left) and Fred MacVaugh (on the right) shared this year’s "Man of the Year" honor.
With the holiday season quickly approaching and with it the time to start thinking about what gifts to give, you might want to consider the Omaha Sports Club. Why not give the special people in your life OSC memberships and introduce each of them to the best group of good sports in the Omaha area.
It’s easy to share the fun and good times of the Omaha Sports Club. Contact Carol Martinez at membership@omahasportsclub.com and ask about purchasing a gift membership for a family member, friend, or colleague.
President’s Message
Dear Omaha Sports Club members:
The club is very lucky to have elected a fine new executive board: Lois Dorn, president; Bob Godek, vice president; Pat Martinson, treasurer; and Sandy Martin, secretary. These folks have plenty of experience and knowledge that will help them continue our club’s fine traditions. Also, let them know you appreciate their desire to run our club and attend to its operational needs. As ex officio, I look forward to helping the new board members and celebrating in their accomplishments.
Thank you to Thomas Gier and all of his volunteers for the first-rate job they did organizing and managing this year’s Annual Affair. If you were fortunate to have joined us, you know what a wonderful party we had. The awesome music of Omaha’s best band, Rough Cut, kept us dancing all night.
During the meeting, too, we learned that four members in attendance—Roger Blanton, Mike Miller, Lou Secora, and Jim Graver--have each been OSC members for at least 40 years. Thank you, gentlemen, for all you have done for our club.
I would like to know, too, if there are any other 40-plus-year members. So if you have been in the club that long or know of anyone who has, please let me know by writing to me at exofficio@omahasportsclub.com.
Once again, I want to thank all of you for allowing me to serve you these past 3 years; it has been my pleasure and honor.
Respectfully,
Joe Martinez

The new fall season of coed volleyball has now started, and I want to thank everyone who tried out and all who will be playing this session. Our leagues are improving and becoming very popular in the Omaha area. This popularity is leading to the shuffling of players between the leagues, and we are finding there now is more competition for spots. This brings up the subject of applications; when you apply each session, be sure you mark all the leagues you would be willing to play, especially because at the next tryouts in January we will not be asking anyone if they would be willing to drop down and play leagues they didn’t sign up for.
If it were not for all of the wonderful people who come forward and volunteer their assistance, I would not continue to run volleyball. Therefore, I would like to thank the following people, some of whom I also have thanked in earlier articles.
First, I want to thank Christine Shank. She is one of those people who does so much for volleyball and the club but you would never know it because she does a lot behind the scenes. Honestly, though, if it were not for her help, we might not have had a league this session.
I also want to thank the many volunteers who helped at the tryouts during the first week in September: Cyndee Kanable, Mark Nelson, Kris Kubicek, Rob Smith, Anne Nelson, Mark Nelson, Carol Martinez, Mike Feilmeier, Kate Jones, Padraic McElroy, and Ken Ferguson.
More thanks go out to our league managers: Lori Shields (AA), Ken Curran (A), Anthony Theisen (BB), Denise Hamilton (B), Anne Nelson (B1), and Don Kusek (B2). They will be keeping their respective leagues organized and making certain their stats are up to date so we can see how each league’s teams are fairing.
Our mid-season get-together, arranged by Jon Juhler and hosted by AA league, will be October 21 at Muldoon’s Pub, from 6:30 p.m. until close. The bar will have some great drink specials just for us. Muldoon’s is located at 12143 West Center Rd.
Lastly, remember to treat our gyms with respect and to clean up after yourselves. We must not wear street shoes to play in, as they scuff the floors. Also, remember that our referees are human and may not be able to see everything because we have only one ref. per court. Please treat them with respect—we need the refs.—and be courteous to them and your fellow players. We do not want anyone to get hurt or miss any after game parties, so be careful, too.
Take care and see you on the court,
Joe Martinez
With four 2-person teams, the fall pool league is off to a solid start (we also have eight registered subs). The teams are very even, and there is no clear leader yet. It is so good to see some old players coming back and to have the regulars playing and giving support. It is truly amazing how fast the rust comes off. Team averages will be calculated after each week’s play, and a schedule that shows who plays against who also will be posted online. So if you are not playing and have a Wednesday night that is free, come on out and see the gang, play some pool, and tell some stories.
