Dear Green Bay Packers Fan,
I trust this letter finds you well. It has been an exciting couple of months for me since coming to the Packers. I feel honored to join the organization and have the opportunity to lead the most storied franchise in pro football, supported by the most passionate and knowledgeable fans in sports.
It also is an exciting time here for everyone at the Green Bay Packers as preparations intensify for the 2008 NFL Draft, which takes place next month. Packers General Manager Ted Thompson and his staff currently are traveling the country to make final checks on many of this year's draft-eligible players. In the coming weeks, they will then finalize player evaluations, including information from the NFL Scouting Combine, and prepare the Packers' draft board.
As our anticipation builds for the Draft, we also are getting excited for our annual Draft Party in the Lambeau Field Atrium. I'd like to personally invite you to this year's event, set for April 26, from 2 to 9 p.m. Doors open at 1 p.m.
At the 2008 Draft Party, you'll be able to share the excitement of the day with more than a thousand other Packers fans. Be the first to hear from Ted Thompson and Head Coach Mike McCarthy as they talk about the team's draft strategy. The party features projection screen TVs with network coverage and live local coverage from Newsradio 620 WTMJ.
Packers players Atari Bigby, Jarrett Bush, Nick Collins, Mason Crosby, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, Brandon Jackson, James Jones and Koren Robinson will join the party to take part in autograph sessions and on-stage interviews. A commemorative T-shirt, door prizes, interactive games and contests, and computer stations for Web browsing also are part of the day. And remember to bring your laptop computer as the Lambeau Field Atrium is a Wi-Fi "hot spot."
Tickets for the Draft Party are on sale now through our event sponsor, Mills Fleet Farm. The tickets, priced at $25, must be purchased in person at one of 18 Wisconsin Mills Fleet Farm locations. Additional event details, as well as a list of participating Mills Fleet Farm outlets, can be found on www.packers.com or by calling the Packers' ticket office at 920/569-7501. (If you're a fan located outside of Wisconsin, please contact the Packers' ticket office for additional information on how to purchase tickets.)
I hope you'll join us April 26 when all the hard work and preparation culminates in the selection of the Packers' No. 1 pick in 2008. Be here, in the Lambeau Field Atrium, as the drama unfolds just a few feet away in the Packers' draft room. See you on draft day!
Sincerely,
Mark Murphy
President/CEO
