Macon Touchdown Club Update For August 19, 2020

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on September 14th.

All members should have received their renewal application last week. If you did not receive it, please let me or Garland know.

We are working with Lonnie Bivins at The Methodist Home for Children, to provide a safe environment for our members, guests, and speakers.

For now, it looks like there will be a few changes. This list could change as the year goes along. Please be flexible if changes have to be made.
(1) Masks will be required when entering the building, and will be required until everyone comes in and we are all seated at a table. Masks can be removed after everyone is seated. Masks will be put back on when you get up to get your food. Masks will be put back on when the meeting is over and we are exiting the building.
(2) The Methodist Home will have someone at the doors to check temperatures,and to keep a count on the number of people in the building.
(3) The elevator will only be accessible to Members or Guests that are Handicapped, or require the use of the elevator. All other Members or Guests should use the door on the lower level.
(4) We will not be using our name badges this year.
(5) Table seating will be more like classroom seating, with rectangular tables, instead of the round tables. This will enable us to Social Distance.
(6) The Methodist Home for Children will be putting the food on our plates while we go through the food line, instead of us serving ourselves.
(7) There will be markings on the floor as a reminder to social distance while in the food serving line.
(8) This will be a hard one, but at the end of the meeting, we will have to make an effort to not crowd around the speaker or other members.

Mike Parker has offered to have SP Design Group provide masks for anyone that will need one. They will be available at the door of the first meeting.

Thank You for being a member of the Macon Touchdown Club.

4th Annual Macon Touchdown Club Middle Georgia Kick-off Classic

WOW, Year Number Four of the Macon Touchdown Club Middle Georgia Kick-off Classic was something else.

On the first play of the first game, Southwest High returned the kick-off for a touchdown, followed by a 2 point conversion, and the game is 8 – 0 with only 10 seconds expired. Westside High then gets the ball for a few plays, then the game is Suspended for a Severe Weather Alert. This caused a 3 1/2 hour delay. Westside High came out of the Weather Delay and tied the game, and then went on to a 34 – 16 victory.

During halftime of the game retired Hall of Fame Coach Robert Davis was honored, and both head coaches, Coach Risper and Coach Dupree, joined him on the field. It was a special moment, since both coaches mentored under Coach Davis.

Game Two between Washington County and Baldwin High started about 11:00PM. Washington County jumped out to a 21 – 0 lead and never looked back, winning 42 – 7.

Details for the 5th Annual Macon Touchdown Club Middle Georgia Classic will be released early in 2020.

A special Thank You for the support of our Sponsors. and the fans, and the teams that have participated.
