Sorry that this is very last minute. Since we only have school this week on Monday and Tuesday, we will be having varsity workouts TOMORROW (11-26-13) instead of on wednesday. We will still be meeting upstairs at Lindbergh by the elevators ready to start working out at 3:00

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 24th = BLITZ FUNDRAISER
2nd SUPER SUNDAY BLITZ
I am so impressed and proud of EVERYONE that participated in last Sundays blitz !
Players! Parents! Drivers! Organizers! Helpers! And of course our customers!
We, ( everyone ) as a family, should be proud of the amazing, positive, bonding, cooperative, and
LUCRATIVE, for Hopkins Ultimate Frisbee, experience of last Sundays blitz.
I want to share with you some of the feedback I received before and after Sundays event:
Before :
~ 7 hours! Are you kidding?
~ these things never work like they're supposed to
~ it's a lot to ask of both players and parents
~ is there an 'opt out' choice?
~ I'm not happy about it but I'll do it, if I have to
~ I have 2 hours. That's it
~ the kids are going to get cold
~ really? After dark too?
~I'm reluctantly helping to support you and the club
~the pizza party thing took too long. I wanted to leave...my kid wanted to stay
~I didn't anticipate buying hot chocolate and fueling the kids with food. But hey(!),
What's a couple bucks out of my pocket for the type of success we had?
AFTER:
~ although I was initially reluctant... The event turned out to be a positive experience for all
~ok..I'll eat crow, I had fun! the kids had fun! the time went by quickly! I was wrong!
~ the kids in my car had a BLAST They all gained new self confidence.
~ I thought the day would drag on.... It actually went by super fast
~ the kids bonded as friends and team mates
~HUGE self esteem builder
~ I didn't want to have fun....but I did!
~ I still don't care for this type of fundraiser...but I've got to admit/VERY SUCCESSFUL
~ the kids in my car want to sign up again for next week!
~ how does today's totals compare with the weenie wagon!
***WE RAISED MORE MONEY IN ONE 7 hour day than in 7 months of working
The Cub Foods Weenie Wagon!

HURTems and HURTettes. What a fantastic day we had on Sunday the 17th. We made some great money for HURT. But we are only half way there. We are going to hit the neighborhoods again this Sunday the 24th. If we can duplicate our success of Sunday the 17th – the club will be in great shape for our spring season.
ALL the personal incentives are still there. We will have another $1000 ca$h grab bag, top individual and team sellers will get to pull first and get more pulls. Accumulated card sales over 50 (presale + 1st blitz + interblitz sales + 2nd blitz) will qualify you for caSh awards (see your envelope); and the top-top-TOP seller (over 50 cards) will take home the iPad Mini !!!!! Study the video, ask your friends what worked for them, get out there this week and sell-sell-sell to your friends, family and neighbors. AND, PLEASE use the signup to let us know you will be there next Sunday the 24th.Video link... http://youtu.be/cIFlwDw9Us0Signup Genius link... http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080C4AA4AA29A64-hurtPARENTS !! We have 15 drivers signed up for the 24th, we are most likely going to need more. Remember, you get ca$h grabs too. Please use the signup genius to let us know you will be there.
- Noon-1 PM: Ridgedale Library RHR meeting room; pre-blitz meeting
- 1 PM-6 PM: Blitz selling in defined neighborhoods
- 6 PM - 7:30 PM: pizza / awards party @ HHS Commons

PARENT DRIVERS
PARENTS! We need your help PLEASE!
Our first Sunday Blitz is this weekend Nov.17th, 12pm-7pm.
The kids have committed their time and we now have 46 players signed up for Sunday ! Thank you:-). We could really use 5+ additional parent drivers. The areas the kids will be covering are quite large. We are sooooo close to having all the pieces in place! Once all the pieces are in place (40+ kids/parent drivers/2 kids per car) we have a recipe for a FUN, successful and lucrative day!
HUrt players..... Ask your parents to help drive. Show them the blog and Signupgenius, watch the video with your parent. Help the adults sign up if they've never done so before. Remember; Parent drivers can win prizes/cash too!
If this Sunday doesn't work for you.....there's always next Sunday.
Parent participation is crucial (mandatory) for the club to run efficiently and smoothly.
Thank you,
Debbi
P.S. A big shout out to players and parents already signed up! If you've signed up for both blitz days....double shout out!

Fundraiser video
What you need to know about our ALL teams
Fundraiser:
Our 2 SUPER SUNDAY BLITZ DAYS are coming up!
Participation in at least 1 blitz day is MANDATORY for all players on ALL teams.
The video link explains the fundraiser in detail. This can/will be very successful but we need everyone's participation. Including PARENTS!
There are great incentives and prizes! Cash bag grabs! Pizza party after each blitz! Opportunity to win an iPad mini! Watch the video to find out more!
Hopkins Ultimate relies on fundraiser revenue to operate. The dollars raised impact all players. Some of the places Fundraising funds are used for (but not limited too):
Tournament fees
Scholarships
Extra practice fields (indoor and outdoor)
Field bags
Travel (including parent reimbursement to JV out of town tournament gas)
And much more!
For the past several years the majority of our funds came from the Cub Foods Weenie Wagon. Initially lucrative, our profit substantially declined with each year due to circumstances beyond our control. We were committed to every Thursday, 10-6, April through October! A HUGE time/staffing commitment.
Over the next 2 Sundays there is the potential to make an equal or GREATER dollar amount to past 7 month Weenie Wagon profits!
Sign up on the Signupgenius
Watch the video
Commit to at least 1 Sunday

Fundraiser Details
Hurtems, Hertettes, Parents,
Please make the fundraising events below a priority.
Informational meeting November 6th, 8-9pm @Ridgedale library rm 172
2 blitz days: November 17th & 24th
Attend all 3 for the best chance of winning the grand prize.
Player participation in one of the 2 blitz Sundays is mandatory.
We need 25+ parents and 50+ players each blitz day.
Since the players cannot drive themselves, parent participation as drivers is essential.
http://www.signupgenius.com/
There are over 90 players registered for ultimate this year, and more coming in the spring. The better job we do fundraising, the easier and less expensive the spring season will be.
Thanks,
Erin
