Club officials recently announced the speakers for the first five meetings.

The area's Head Football Coaches – Blue Ridge's Shane Clark, Byrnes' Bobby Bently, Eastside's Jeff Thomason, Greer's Will Young and Riverside's Phillip Smith – will speak at the August 29th meeting.

The Greer Touchdown Club meets in the gymnasium of Greer First Baptist Church. Weekly meetings begin at 12pm, and the lunch line opens at 11:45am.
Meetings usually last an hour.
Lunches are catered by The Clock Restaurant and cost $8 for members and $10 for guests. All are welcome.

Each meeting honors an Offensive & Defensive Player of the Week. The five area Head Coaches usually attend the club meetings and talk to members about the previous week's game and the upcoming game. The club runs a weekly “Pick'em Contest” that features weekly and year-end prizes.
