As a few of you may know...I was elected earlier this year to be the next President of the Aztec Club. My two-year Reign of Terror is set to begin 07.01.16. I have many goals but my Top 2 are: 1. Get us into the Big 12...and receive all of the credit for it. Statue? 2. Bring/Sneak on to the BOD...original and nearly original members of the SHOW and start shaking the place up and feeling good about the future. I had to go first with what I have most control of so far. Of nine new members to the General Board that were elected last week...I brought on four. Three of them are Original/Semi-Original SHOW Members (I'm picturing a couple heads exploding right now and I'm LOVING it) and another fantastic guy who is also a prominent poster here. All four new members are welcome to "out" themselves here if they wish. I believe one of the SHOW members has been banned from here...would be a nice gesture if the mods would see to it to un-ban him in good faith. I personally am not mentioning names or "posters" because I know many on here like to be anonymous...most of you should be able to crack Jim Marshall's board name though. My goal is to get the Aztec Club median age much younger and have help thinking outside the box. My four are going to do that...times 100. We already have terrific people that have poured their lives (and lots of $$) into this organization. I'm not sure if any of the other five are on the forum...if you are...feel free to make yourself known if you'd like (and verify yourselves with me). Thrilled to have all nine of you. I've never felt better about the Aztec Club than I have this year. There are plenty who will tell you I'm the biggest pain in the a$$ because I think things move to slow. That's changing. Our current president, Kurt Cecconi is outstanding and doing a great job. I'm looking for more great people to come on the board in 2016...I need a buffer between me and impeachment. I also believe I'm the hardest person to get nominated by...I have very high standards. I would like to walk away from this in the near future and know that everyone left...is better than me and will take the Aztec Club to heights I haven't dreamed of. The Aztec Club is going to become cool. You have my word on that. Contact me for anything and everything. I really want to thank those of you that have reached out me through email and PM's with great questions...and then went on to buy more tickets and raise your donor levels. Many of you would be surprised at the level of participation that is on this forum. It's not nearly enough of you though. The $125 level is just a quick call away and telling someone at the Aztec Club that they can debit your credit card $10.42 per month. Jump in now. Do more when you can. Join us at the Belly UP this month. Where else would the New and Cool Aztec Club party? LINK

Congratulations, Dave. You'll do a great job! Thanks so much Ernie. Still on my event wish list of things that NEED TO BE DONE: An Evening with Tom Ables and Ernie AndersonIt's been discussed before as a great Aztec Football Legacy/Aztec Club Event. I keep picturing a fundraiser with you and Mr. Ables up on a stage telling stories accompanied by your wonderful...photographic Aztecs history. I'm also going to take it upon myself to learn how the Aztec Hall of Fame voting works. The name Ernie Anderson needs to be on the ballot. When I find out soon...this forum is going to know how to make themselves heard. You also have thousands of grateful Aztecs For Life who would like to show their appreciation on this subject as well...I'm sure. It's going to happen Ernie. Hope we can get a groundswell soon when we realize what to do.

Great Dave...well done and congrats! Everyone knows that behind an excellent man there's usually an excellent woman ...so, will Mrs. L be assisting you? She does absolutely everything with me. She also does a lot of behind the scenes computer work for the Aztec Club. She's the brains...and pretty face. Her favorite saying is, "Dave doesn't do sh$t...but he gets sh$t done". It's true...she does most of it. I'm the "idea man". Here's a scene of me at most board meetings. I'd swear at 7am on the first Wednesday of every month...It seems everyone looks at me this way for the same reason Chuck looked at Bill Blazejowski.

/exile off /exile on Can we talk leadership for a moment? Leadership is influence. Leadership is showing up. A title is just a title. There are people on our board and within the Aztec Club that will always have much more influence than me. Every single one of you gets the opportunity to talk the talk (mostly anonymously) on here as much as you want. I'd like to challenge each and everyone of you on here to start taking leadership roles inside the Aztec Club. Everyone of you influence others. I hope you make it a priority to make more events this year. Plan for the Quarterly luncheons and Coach Luncheons (if you qualify). Bring people to these events. Challenge yourself to meet more Aztec fans at our events. There are Friends For Life at these events if you're willing walk up and talk with them. Get your butts to the Belly UP! If you have ideas and answers to challenges...share them. Be willing to help as well. We're all volunteers with the same time constraints as everyone else. You are certainly welcome to post anything you like here...we're all big boys and girls. I just wonder why some very good people like to spend so much of their time crapping on so much stuff? What you write here can influence for the good as well. Why did I use Stu's post for this? He texted me a few minutes after I started this thread. He told me he just found out his employer has a matching program. Stu is a great donor and has been for a long time (from the East Coast for a few of you that don't know Stu). His donation is about to double. Why is Stu's donation about to double? I'll bet it because so often over the years, Sarah has posted and reminded people about employer donation matching. That's LEADERSHIP and INFLUENCE! I'd also like to now challenge Stu to step back up and become the valuable poster on here that he used to be. Stu?

On one hand, with a Dodger fan at the helm we're certainly not going to win anything of significance. However, you've been a Leader your whole life so I'm willing to wait and see how it goes In all seriousness, congratulations and good luck, Dave!

All this posting tonight...I forgot to turn the game on. You'll be happy to know Vin Scully's voice is in the background while I post this. You'll be even happier to know the Dodgers are currently losing 2-0. Update...ugh...4-0. Should have never allowed the Padres to get James Shields.
