Go Hawks! And A Special 'Thank You' To Our Boulevard Lane Community!

 

What a season for our beloved Hawks, huh?  Of course, this crazy season is going to come to a climactic end on Sunday in Super Bowl XLVIII as the Seahawks take on the Denver Broncos in Met Life Stadium in New Jersey.  It is going to be an exciting game!

Andrea Upton, our VP-Programs has made the season even more fun for us here in Boulevard Lane.  Every game day she has held a 12th Man flag raising at our entrance, and invited all to come.  Typically, this occurred two hours before each game, and ended with a "GO HAWKS!" cheer.

This event took place for every single game throughout the season.  And in the rare occasion that Andrea couldn't make it, she passed the flag on to me and made me promise I would not let her down.  I didn't!

With the Super Bowl only a couple days away, I would like to thank Andrea for starting this fun tradition for our community.  More importantly, I would like to thank all the residents of Boulevard Lane that have taken time to join us, even for a single flag raising.  It has meant a lot to us!

But we are not done yet.  No siree!  This Sunday is the game our Seahawks have been playing for since August, and training for since last spring.  This is for all the marbles and we need your help!  Please join us in our final flag raising of the season and give our team one last "GO HAWKS!"  We will be meeting at the entryway at 2:00. 

Finally, I would like to share images taken of the 12th Man flag raising from throughout the season.  We had many regulars, including a superstitious neighbor who believed not attending would bring bad luck, and would call ahead if he was going to be late!  We also had many who, due to busy schedules, could only attend here and there.  They were still important!

Oh, did I say finally?  Oops!  I forgot our four legged friends!  Olive and Ozzie were an important part of our mornings, and there were others.  Feel free to remind me of their names in the comments section below!

Again, thanks to ALL!  I hope to see a CROWD of MASS PROPORTIONS on Sunday!  GO HAWKS!!
