THAT sucks.
What sucks is that I lost my job right after the RSL game...money being tight, I was told I wasn't allowed to go on this trip...so, it doesn't suck.

An avid soccer fan, Jim Rose is the sports anchor and reporter for the top rated ABC 7 weekday newscasts at 4 and 6 p.m. He joined ABC 7 Chicago in 1982. Previously, from 1977-82, Rose served as a weekend sports anchor and play-by-play reporter at WIXT-TV in Syracuse, N.Y. During this time, he also hosted and produced "Sportsweek Nine", a weekly sports magazine, and WIXT's "The Halftime Report." During his college years, he worked as a sports anchor at WPRO-TV in Providence, R.I. (1975-77).
Rose began his career in sports broadcasting while serving in the U.S. Army, acting as sports director for AFN-TV in Berlin, West Germany (1973-75). He has won several awards for his work, including the 1981 Best Sports Story Award from the Syracuse Press Club for his "Sportsweek Nine" segment on the Sugar Ray Leonard/Larry Bonds title fight. The Syracuse Press Club also honored him in 1980 for Best Reporting Under Deadline Pressure, and in 1979 for Best Sports Story.
Rose serves on the Board of Directors for the Boys and Girls Club of Chicago. He earned a B.A. degree in Mass Communications from Rhode Island College in 1977.
“The Chicago Fire Foundation is very fortunate to have a local sports icon like Jim Rose as our emcee for this year’s event,” said Frank Klopas, Fire Technical Director and President of the Chicago Fire Foundation. “His passion and dedication to soccer will help make this the premier event to kickoff the Chicago Fire's 2010 Major League Soccer season.”
The 2010 Chicago Fire Season Kickoff Luncheon presented by Ticketmaster will be held Wednesday, March 24 at the Swissotel Chicago. Don't miss the first opportunity of the season to meet the entire 2010 Chicago Fire team including our new head coach, Carlos de los Cobos.

Would anyone who has attended the luncheon in the past couple of years care to share some thoughts and/or quotes about the event for an article on the s8c home page? If so, PM or otherwise contact me.
I might be able to give some.

I'm so excited that I FINALLY get to go to the luncheon! I'm just tacking one more day onto my vacation to NYC for the opener. WOO-HOO!
I hope you are planning on staying in Chicago overnight.
Rumor has it that there is some drinking done after this luncheon.
Ask the VP of communications for the Fire.
My past experiences at Kickoff luncheons....
Unbelievable player/coach/front office access, ability to ask any person related to the Fire any question you might have.
Get autographs, chat, and pictures.
Awesome silent auction items.
Not a formal event. Some people in suits and some in jeans.
and after that the
First Unofficial drinking event of the season.
Really just a good time and perfect way to end the off season blues and start up the year.
