Edgar, The Heffe of the Grill

Thanks to all who came out today to celebrate my birthday, the second anniversary of the club and to wish Jimmy well on his upcoming fight. It was so nice that the members of the Demotte Boxing Club family could all get together on this beautiful Labor Day weekend.

The club has been a success due to the efforts of all the fighters and coaches but also to all the many parents and family members who make the sacrifices to support their fighters. Bringing the fighters to the gym, washing the smelly handwraps, traveling to the fights, helping out with our fundraisers and all the other things you do to help out around the gym. It's all greatly appreciated and you are helping to raise some very fine young men and women. The lessons learned in the boxing gym will help them as they go through life. We have a very good core group of fighters here and we will hopefully have continued success in the future.

Jimmy has been training extremely hard for his upcoming fight - he might have eaten a little too much today but no one can just eat one plateful of Edgar's cooking - he still has six weeks to drop a few pounds.

We'll be having a fundraiser show October 2nd. We've already got some fighters signed up. The rest of you, be sure to get your name on the sign up sheet next time you're in the gym.

The gym will be closed Monday for the Labor Day holiday. Have fun, be safe and we'll see you on Thursday. Thanks again for the beautiful cards and sentiments. You made an old man's day.
