Storm CC Fund Raiser - Sauk Rapids VFW - Friday September 23


Our next fund raiser to help support the CC team is next Friday, September 23rd at the Sauk Rapids VFW. Coach Zeilenga will be heading up the raffle, but she needs a minimum of three volunteers to assist in selling the raffle tickets, setting up the games and counting money. The last meat raffle we had in August went very well and selling the tickets was quite easy.

Coach Zeilenga needs volunteers starting at 4:45 to set up and start selling at 5pm. The last raffle was done between 6:30 and 7 pm if I remember correctly. Please let Tim Wright know if you can help as he will be compiling the list of volunteers for Marie.

Please let your friends and families know about this event as well as they can come down to the VFW and support our growing program.

Go Storm!

Saturday Morning Post-practice meal - Saturday September 17

We had a great turn out for our post practice meal this past Saturday.  Thanks to all who came along!

After practice on Saturday September 17, we will be heading to Panera Bread in St. Cloud.  Bring a few bucks for yummy bagels and cream cheese and a change of clothes if you like.

Thank you volunteers!

Thanks to all of you who volunteered at our home meet on Thursday September 8!  Thanks to the others who volunteered but were not needed as we had great numbers helping out at the meet.  It is much better to have more volunteers than not enough.  We were able to raise some decent money for the CC program.
