Dodgeball Moving to the Fall
- 17 August 2006
I don't have my official documents back from the District Office yet, but I've been assured that the date for the third annual Dodgeball Tournament is secured. We've moved to the Fall to kickoff the Basketball Season. It's a time of the year that we originally tried to get, but were unsuccessful due to scheduled events at the Middle School.So I can safely tell you that we will be at the Senior High School again, and that the "near-set-in-stone" date of the tournament will be November 10th, 11th and 12th. The Sunday the 12th date will be reserved for the Adult Tournament. Mark your calendars now for the quiet week between Football and Basketball season. Don't worry, when the Football team makes the playoffs ... we'll figure something out for that!
Over $8000 was raised for Juvenile Diabetes last year, and I'm hoping we can push over the $10,000 mark this year. I'd like some input from you as players though ... what prizes do you really want? We want to make the reward worth the effort. I've set up a post in the forum, and I'll consider any realistic wishes. As of now, I'm sticking with the prizes we offered last year (JDRF bands, beanies, shirts) and I'm hoping to find a senior (the one and only Babin perhaps?) that would like a fun senior project and give tournament DVDs out to the top Middle School and High School team fundraisers. We'll try and have something fun for the overall top fundraising team as well.
