1. We are starting to work on getting the Program
together. This is the booklet that we sell during home games. We
need your help in getting ads. Online
here are two ad forms, feel free to make more copies
if needed. If you own a business, work for someone or know someone,
who may place an ad in our program, we ask that you approach him
or her. It would be nice if we could, at the very least, have your
family’s name in the Fans’ Corner section of the program. Don’t
forget to ask those wonderful grandparents, aunts and uncles to
have their names in the Fans’ Corner, too. You can contact Katie
Hart @ 508-696-5378, if you have any questions. All checks
should be made out to MV Touchdown Club and sent to address on the
top of this letter, ASAP. Forms must be received by August 24, 2007. Please
help to make this year's program the best ever.
2. We annually have the Tempura Booth at the Ag Fair.
So this is the booth that we will need help in. The fair is from
Thurs., Aug. 21 to Sunday, Aug. 24th. We have set
up a schedule that has 4 shifts of 3 hours each per day. We need
at least 4 people per shift. There are times set up to fit everyone’s
schedules. The work is fun and easy. We will need help on Sunday,
August 12th at 9am and Wednesday, August 15th for an hour or so
to get the booth set-up and ready for opening on Thursday and on
Sunday eve to take it down. Please call Beth Kaeka to sign up at
508-693-6095, ASAP. It will save her a lot of time on the phone.
3. We will be building a new permanent booth at the High
School field. Tom Pierce has come up with a wonderful design,
which includes a ticket booth at the end for the High School’s use. This
booth will allow us to have all our things in one place and not
have the expensive storage unit in Vineyard Haven. We will begin
building it right after the Ag Fair. Estimated cost of building
is $8,000. We will need help to build it, but most important we
will need to get as much materials donated as possible. If you have
any contacts, please call Tom ASAP at 508-627-4691.
4. Thursday, September 11th is our Kick-Off Banquet at 6pm
in the High School cafeteria. This is a potluck dinner. All players’
families are asked to bring a dish that would feed their family
plus one more person. Cheerleader families are asked to bring desserts.
If you are unable to attend this dinner with your player/cheerleader,
we ask that you still send him/her with your potluck dish, so as
there will be enough food for all. A Touchdown Club meeting will
be held after the dinner so please plan to stay for a short time.
5. Saturday, October 17th will be our Annual Auction. Once
again, this year we are having the auction at the Holy Ghost Association,
which is in Oak Bluffs. We will be having hors d’oeuvres and a dinner
prior to the auction. Each player/cheerleader is responsible for
acquiring at least 2 items for the auction. The more items we get
to auction off, of course, means that we will be able to help with
the purchase of equipment or other needed things for the Teams.
No item is too small because we have tables set up for silent auction
items. Enclosed find 2 forms needed when acquiring your auction
items. Feel free to make copies for acquiring additional items. Summer
is the best time to go to Island businesses, so please get those
items, NOW.
6. Touchdown Club Meetings are held on the second
Wednesday of each month. The meeting on Wednesday, August 8th will
be held at 7pm at The Oak House in Oak Bluffs. During the season,
however, Touchdown Club meetings are held on every Wednesday before
a home game. These meetings are held at 7 pm in the Health Room
of the high school. We hope that you will come and get involved. When
you get involved you show your support for your son and/or daughter
and the Team.
Please feel free to contact one of us at home between 6pm & 9pm, if you have any questions.
