required to sell at least 20 tickets.

due by this Saturday, October 10!
MAINE TRIP
The
5/6 Maine trip has been cancelled for this year. There was not enough interest.
Coach Bob will attend this year to get more information and maybe we will try
it about next year when we know more about it.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We
REALLY need your help for our final home game this weekend! October 10th is our final home game The
website has the sign-up sheet for the games.
This is our final game at Spaulding this year and there will be 4 games
so we will need lots of volunteers. Due to the LATE CHANGES in the schedule
please check the volunteer sheet for time changes!
Both
5/6 and 7/8 teams will be playing. PLEASE sign up for a slot! We have many
volunteers… but not enough. The same
people tend to help each time and it would be nice to give them a break and let
them enjoy the day too!
BANQUET & SILENT AUCTION

end of year banquet will be held Tuesday, November 3 at the Canadian Club.
Dinner prices will be $10/adults and $5/children. You may buy tickets at the storage shed
during practices any weeknight in the next two weeks. For more information you

some fun! This fundraiser is fun for all
- the players love it. Kerri Lamb is the coordinator for this. Please call her at 839-8692, if you or your

chicken and pasta with a salad. If you
have allergies to these items please let the person know when you purchase the

trophies. If a player will not be attending please make arrangements with their
coach to receive their award(s) following the banquet.
