Our current President is Gary Fye. A native of Green Bay, Gary was elected President in 1993 when Frank moved out of state, and has been the Head Cheese since then. It is a big job getting merchandise for our raffles, locating and negotiating for locations, sending out newsletters, organizing a trip for the trip raffles, etc. and could not be done alone. Many thanks go to Corrine Henderson, our Secretary/Treasurer since the beginning, Jeff Evans, our Fan Rep, Jerry Garner, who founded the southern chapter, and all those other members who have helped grow our club and keep the NWPB strong.   

Our raffles provide money for which we donate to charities. A raffle for Packer merchandise is held at the end of the 3rd quarter of every game. Tickets are $1 each and the profits benefit needy kids at Christmas. In the early years we sponsored one or two needy families, foster children, or the very poor. As the club grew, we were able to help more kids. In 1995 & 1996 we sponsored approximately 40 kids on a giving tree in coordination with a local elementary school. Each child received a clothing item and a toy. In 1997 we chose a different path and organized volunteer elves from the club to shop for gifts. A 10% discount was negotiated with a toy store and we spent $1100. In all, 135 toys were purchased and donated to Toys For Tots. Who knows what we'll do this year!!!   

Four years ago the club started to raffle off one trip each year. This raffle is self supporting so it doesn't take money away from the kids. Each trip includes air fare, hotel, and game tickets for two. The first two trips were to the Pro Bowl in Hawaii. Then there were trips to Lambeau for various home games and then back to the Pro Bowl. We also had a trip to Las Vegas during Super Bowl weekend! The opportunity to win trips like these are a great benefit to being a member of the NWPB.   

The Southern Chapter   

In 1993 Jerry Garner, a native of Green Bay moved back to Seattle and started watching Packer games at Charlie Macs South (now Club Zues) in SeaTac with a core group of Packer fans. In the 1993 Packer season since Packer games were televised via satellite and not on local TV, he searched for places that showed Packer games where he and other Packers fans could watch our Pack play. Upon contacting several facilities, he finally reached Charlie Macs South in SeaTac about showing Packer games. Charlie Macs South committed to show all Packer games and the group grew in size as word got out. After few years at this location, in 1995/1996 Jerry met Gary Fye from the NWPB at the Green Bay Packer party held by Eugene Robinson and approached the NWPB about joining forces, so to speak. We thought that it would be a great idea to have a southern location, so Jerry became the President of the southern chapter of the NWPB. At the present time, the southern chapter is on hiatus as Jerry is busy as the Fan Rep for the main club. Until then, you folks can always find us at the Mustard Seed Pub.
