Just a quick re-cap of our planning meeting of 10/29 for Casino Night.

1. Soccer Districts: As a side note, and part of our fund raising

efforts, we are going to be working the concession stand for 2 games on

Saturday & Tuesday evenings and the final game on Thursday evening. We

will be grilling burgers (at least on Saturday) and dogs and will have

all of the rest of the standard concession items. We will not deviate

from what the concession folks expect or allow. We are looking for

volunteers to assist on all three nights. Teresa Vaccaro has been

organizing this for the past few years and has done an outstanding job

and we want to support her efforts by getting parents to help work. If

you can work one of the games on any of the evenings mentioned, please

let Teresa know.

2. As of right now, we have approximately 110 people that have

indicated they will attend Casino Night. Many people have volunteered

to help work and I will get a list out of volunteers early next week.

We may ask the volunteers to show up a little early on Friday to go

through a quick training on the dealing process. Please continue to

tell everyone about the event - the more the merrier.

3. Jeanine Smith has been spearheading the effort to obtain gift cards

and other items for 50/50's and door prizes. We are still looking for

additional items and if everyone can participate in this effort it will

surely help. The Wright's are donating a ton of beverage items for this

cause.

4. Lynn Gunter is proceeding with the auctioning off of Company Banners

space along the soccer field fence as advertising for a year. We

encourage any and all businesses that might be interested to consider

this as a great, inexpensive way to advertise. We will have limited

spaces available. A notification will be sent out to explain the

program.

5. A final meeting of the group - to go over everything one last time,

is scheduled for Wednesday, 11/5 at 6pm at Mike Duffy's unless otherwise

notified. Gina Bailey is checking on availability.

If anyone has any questions, or if I misconstrued something please call

me.
