Erin's note: Signing up does not guarantee you a roster spot (because inevitably more people will sign up than we have spots for).  In order to determine the actual roster, factors will be taken into consideration including but not limited to: participation in fundraisers; attendance at practice; seniority; ability to represent Hurt in Canada; availability of parent chaperones etc.  Since practice hasn't even started yet, these criteria are subject to change.

CAR WASH FUNDRAISER

Remember the car wash fundraiser we had to cancel because of SNOW!?!
We have another opportunity to try again.  And this time the forecast is SUNNY and HOT!  This is a fantastic, fun way to fundraise for HUrt. But before we lock in the date, we need a solid commitment from players and a few parents.   Ideally we would like to have 10 players and 1-2 parents per shift. 

 When we hit the magic numbers we will lock in the date.   

We have a Signupgenius for kids and parents to sign up and  better organize our supplies. 

           http://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080C4AA4AA29A64-carwashmay

 To keep our expenses to a minimum, supplies such as:  buckets, sponges, towels, chamois, brushes, hoses etc...will need to come from YOU, the player. 

          The location is Cub Foods at HWY 7 and HWY 101

FRIDAY, AUGUST 30th.
9:30-12:30
12:00-3:00
