PHI DELTA PSI REMINDERS

Dear Brothers,
A Couple of Reminders:

1) This Thursday (3rd Thursday of the Month) is Phi Delta Psi lunch day at Barone's Pizza in Valley Village (very near Valley College). The restaurant is just west on Oxnard where it crosses Woodman. Parking is $1.50 - No host - prices are reasonable - good food.
Come join us at 1 pm - The 13th Hour.

2) The Fraternity's 53rd birthday is October 13th. To celebrate Pierce College is hosting a reception (co-hosted by the Maple Leaf Society and The Museum of the San Fernando Valley) to honor Br. Rick Glazer-Danay's great career as an artist. Garden reception from around 5:30 pm until 6"30 pm - then a presentation by Rick. At 8 pm you'll be out in time to party. RSVPs are important for Pierce to plan on things. Let me know if you, and any guests plan to come.

3) It's time to send along your donation to the Maple Leaf Endowment Fund. Remember, your donation is tax deductible.

4) Thanks for your support of The Museum of the San Fernando Valley. Br. Rick Tozzi just sent us two years of Pierce College newspapers and school's 20th anniversary year book.

Br. JERRY McALEVEY'S HORSE DOES IT AGAIN

LITTLE BIT OF BAJA DOMINATES BANK OF AMERICA CENTRAL CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGE
Aug. 15, 2009 - Favored Little Bit Of Baja comfortably defeated 11 rivals in the $76,680 Bank of America Central Championship Challenge (G2) on August 15 at Prairie Meadows. With the victory, the 5-year-old First Down Dash gelding will represent the Central region in the $350,000 Bank of America Racing Challenge Championship (G1) on October 31 at Los Alamitos.
A Grade 1 winner who was second in the Champion of Champions (G1) in 2007 and 2008 and set a 400-yard track record at Los Alamitos, Little Bit Of Baja made his Prairie Meadows debut on August 1 in the Keokuk Stakes. He flipped in the starting gate and finished ninth.
Despite that effort, the classy gelding returned in the Central Championship Challenge as the 6-5 favorite with regular rider Rodrigo Aceves aboard. Breaking from Post 9, he overcame early leaders Hijo De Villa and Gallant Ways to win by 2 1/4 lengths. His time for 440 yards over a fast track was :21.450.
