Navy Football 2010 is HERE!! The class of 1974 will be at the same perimeter tailgate location (between the water tower and Rowe Blvd) as the last few years. We have a new blimp that will be flying over the spot!!! Just as last year we will have the tailgates catered. Service will be between 1 and 3 PM. The home games start at 3:30. Cost is $20 per person.

The first home game in Annapolis is on Sept 11th against Georgia Southern. The Maryland game (technically a "Home" game) is at M&T Bank stadium (Baltimore Ravens Stadium) on Sept 6th, but we will NOT be having a class tailgate in Baltimore.

The USNA Alumni Assoc. website is now open for tailgate sign-up. Go to "My Community". Make sure you do not sign up for the Alumni Assoc. home tailgates ("2010 Navy Home Football Tailgates"), and you are signing up for the "Class of 1974 tailgate"!!!

Beat Maryland First.....see you at Ga Southern!

Notes from our class president:

Good morning, I still need five volunteers from our class to facilitate a day long ethics seminar for the first class Midshipmen on Wednesday 8 September. Please let me know if you are interested. Thank you,

John Yaeger

Greetings, Throughout the year each first class Midshipman participates in a day long ethics seminar facilitated by members of the class of '74. I can tell you from personal experience it is a very rewarding day. We are looking for volunteers for the following dates: 08 SEP, 14 SEP and 07 OCT

Please let me know if you are able to participate or if you would like more information.

John Yaeger

Each seminar lasts approximately eight hours. A maximum of 36 midshipmen attend, and they are divided randomly among six tables. Each table has a facilitator, and ideally, that facilitator stays throughout the day. There are four topic areas covered by presenters, along with a guest speaker.

Here is how the seminar typically works:

An informal buffet breakfast is provided before the seminar starts. This gives time for participants and table facilitators to "break the ice."

Officer Development personnel kick off the seminar.

A presenter delivers content on the first topic.

The midshipmen discuss that topic at their tables. If applicable, the table facilitator will have a midshipman summarize the table's discussion for everyone, so that the rest can hear and comment.

A presenter delivers content on the second topic.

Again, the midshipmen discuss that topic at their tables, with the facilitator encouraging and focusing discussion.

A guest speaker presents either a 45-minute lecture or, as is most common and successful, a question-and-answer discussion.

A buffet-style lunch is served to midshipmen and guests. This reinforces the instruction midshipmen have received from USNA about proper etiquette and manners, part of the commissioned officer's necessary tools.

After lunch, a presenter delivers content on the third topic.

The midshipmen discuss the topic at their tables, with the help of the table facilitator.

A presenter delivers content on the final topic.

The midshipmen discuss that topic at their tables, aided by their facilitator.

Officer Development personnel close the seminar.
