E-town Rotary Fantasy Football League

ERFFL HISTORY

Something so frivilous as a Fantasy Football Team doesn't, at first thought, seem to merit its own page on the Club website, but anything that lasts a decade and is more active than ever can't be all bad!  ERFFL is probably the origin of our tongue-in-cheek motto:  "E-town Rotary-- a gambling club with a service problem!"  ERFFL members will pony up an annual team fee, study up for a live player draft each year, pay fines that benefit a club charity, support all the other "risky business" we concoct, and all in the name of Rotary Fun and Service! 

A telling fact-- of the 9 winners in the past 10 years, 8 are still active members of the club!    Leadership has something to do with it, too, and we've been fortunate to have Joe Rebman as the Commissioner for 9 years, and Dave Schmidt is beginning his 2nd year in that post.  The league started small, continues to grow, and now boasts 24 teams after a recent merger with another league, and 18 of the 24 teams are owned by Rotarians, and 4 by family members.  This isn't a "good ol' boys" club-- ladies are welcome!  

If you are interested in getting involved next year, contact Commissioner Dave now... and follow the league throughout the year at the ERFFL Website!  Oh, by the way, the season ending celebration party is a blast!
