2501 W. Irving Park Rd                   www.nbgc.org                  Edition No.  TB2021 
                      Webster's Dictionary- Monkeyshine: mischievous or playful activity- usually used in the plural
              As founder Robert O. Buehler's mother worked in the office of the club house, she would listen to
                                                    the commotion coming from the game room.
​                                        She decided to name the weekly newsletter "Monkeyshines".
       91st Annual Turkey Bowl !!!                                           
     Come out and join us for the 91st NBGC Turkey Bowl celebration.
In 1931, Robert Buehler and Dick Valentin took a group of kids playing football in the mud of
Revere Park, formed them into teams- and led them to our first Thanksgiving Day championship.
The Turkey Bowl has become the Clubs most important tradition- where players, families, alumni
and the community come together for football and soccer games, hot cocoa and donuts.
The action starts the night before at the Pep Rally- where posters, predictions and cheerleaders
rev up the rivalries and celebrate all that the NBGC has brought to its members and their families for
​9 decades. 
​

  The Pep Rally schedule, Turkey Day team matchups and other Turkey Bowl events can be found in articles below.
       
      So please come and join us and share the fun and memories with family and old friends.
​
                      Then- 1930's Football                                                               Now- 2010's Soccer

                                                              PEP RALLY

​               Come join us on Friday, Nov. 19th at 5:30 pm at the club house
                                                    to kick off our
​                                      2021 Turkey Bowl festivities.

        The cheerleaders will be cheering as every team is introduced.

                        It's a great way to celebrate our 91st year!!!



On Saturday the game room will be festooned with         photos and Monkeyshines from the past 90 years.

                                    But if you can't be here in person-
               this year you can tour our game room from your home!
                      Go to the nbgc.org website to find out how.

THANK YOU!!       THANK YOU!!
First, we'd like to thank Hall of Fame member
Jack Sharkey and friends for providing the donuts, without which it wouldn't be the
Turkey Bowl.
And thanks to our local
Starbucks- 4553 N. Lincoln 
​for the cocoa and coffee.

​Finally we want to thank the amazing 
NBGC
Staff, Leaders, and Leaders in Training.

Not only for making the Turkey Bowl a success-
but for everything they do throughout the year to make our Club the great organization it is.
(Especially with the challenges they've faced in the last year +, with Covid, remote learning and moving out of and back into our refurbished clubhouse!!)

Giving Tuesday  

Founded during the Depression, the NBC/NBGC was a club for kid's run by kid's- and everyone was welcome- there were no fees.
The role of the families and community was to raise the funds:
-to provide uniforms and equipment
-to maintain a safe club house 
- to provide opportunities for development, creating
"Better Men and Women".

The NBGC has outlasted the Depression, WWII, Covid, renovations, and evolved with our changing society over the last
90 years-
all the while welcoming everyone through our doors.

Giving Tuesday
is an opportunity for you to continue supporting our Club.
And, this year, several donors have pledged 
$20,000 in matching donations!
Go to the top of this page
and click on DONATE NOW.
Turn $25 into $50 or
​better yet,

$250 into $500.

​
THANK YOU!
