The rain date will be Thursday from 5:30 until 6:30. In order to receive your $25 deposit your equipment must be returned to us by Friday, October 16 and returned clean.

 

RAFFLE TICKETS

This is the last week to return your raffle tickets. As a reminder, each player is required to sell at least 20 tickets.  Our program could really use the funds from this fund raiser. They are 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

The 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 may email Tanya McCauley at tmac@myfairpoint.net.

 

Our 5th Annual Silent Auction will be held at our banquet. Bring some cash and have 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 employer be willing to donate an item for the auction. Also, please remember to bring a dessert to share!

 

We will have social time beginning at 5:30 and dinner at 6:30. We will be serving chicken and pasta with a salad.  If you have allergies to these items please let the person know when you purchase the ticket.  We can have an alternative meal for you. 

 

Dinner will be followed by the awards ceremony where ALL players will receive trophies. If a player will not be attending please make arrangements with their coach to receive their award(s) following the banquet.

 

Tickets will be available soon at the storage shed. We will be asking parents to bring desserts to the dinner for our dessert table… get your cookbooks out!  This can be fun!
