Big changes are coming, and I want you all to be a part of it. My goal is to make this group something bigger, something better. As far as I know, we are the only Patriots fan club in the Dallas area. We have been doing this for a few years now, and I believe that it is time to step up and make this group what we all want it to be.

I have registered for a domain name, dallaspatsfans.com, and I will host a site for our fan club and game watching group.

I also plan to make some changes regarding our game watching events so they attract more fans and include more activities.

For those members who have not attended an event yet, or those members who attended in the past and have not attended in a while, please take a few minutes to let me know how I can make the events better and increase attendance. For the regulars, please provide suggestions to make the group better. After all, the group is nothing without the people.

Please respond with any of the following suggestions of what you would prefer, or any of your own.

more rowdy, less rowdy, fight songs, touchdown celebrations, decorations, props
