Our February Timpanogos Club meeting promises to be one of our best ever, as Morgan Scalley, the University of Utah Defensive Coordinator, will be speaking about the U of U football team. As you know, this past year has been one of their best years ever, and Morgan will speak about how it happened. He will also describe the recruits just signed, judged to be the best class of recruits ever signed by the U football team, and Morgan played a huge role in that success. He also will educate us on what goes into a stellar defense–when and why do you deploy the defensive backs in a zone or a man-to-man, what goes on with the linemen stunting, when and why do the coaches use a blitz, etc. Morgan is the son of our own Club member, Bud Scalley, who was a running back at the U of U back in the day, who undoubtedly taught Morgan much of what he knows.
Our February meeting will be at the Alta Club at the usual 6 p.m. dinner first, then Morgan’s talk at 7. As a reminder, parking for the Alta Club is at their new lot on South Temple about one half block east. Please feel free to invite friends, relatives, acquaintances, etc. who might have an interest in joining Timpanogos Club, and please let us know how many you are bringing for a head count for the dinner.
Many thanks to our past president, Randy Jensen and his wife Liz, who spoke last month about their adventures in climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa, with photos and amazing stories. Some of you have mentioned that your age, lumbago, etc. might prevent you from climbing Kilimanjaro yourself, and just hearing about Randy and Liz’s adventures will have to suffice.
The March meeting date has moved one week from its usual fourth Thursday due to scheduling changes, and will be on March 19th instead. Please make this change on your calendars, as the address noted below by Dr. Bruce Woolley will be incredibly important, educational and entertaining.

Bruce will also give updated information about coronavirus–how to avoid it, what to do if we catch it, etc.

Our January meeting is on Thursday, January 23rd. We will be delighted to hear from Randy Jensen, our Past President, and his wife Liz about their African adventure about 4 months ago in traveling to Africa and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro! What an adventure!!! We are anxious to learn whether they planted a Timpanogos Club flag at the top of the mountain.
Our November meeting is on the 3rd Thursday instead of the 4th, to avoid a conflict with Thanksgiving.

A short list of heart conditions we might all develop which can kill or maim us includes:
Our dinner meeting this month will be on Thursday, October 24, 2019, starting promptly at 6 at the Alta Club as usual. Our speaker is fabulous, Alexander Dushku. He is with the Kirton and McConkie law firm, and will speak to the topic, “The Intersection of Religious Liberty and Civil Rights.” His topic is germane to each of us, as it impacts us all in one way or another.
