Fundraiser

I want to confirm that everyone received the email below (see bottom of this post). The time line of this fundraiser is extremely tight since we did not have practice on Saturday to hand out the order forms. GFS is needing the orders in by Nov 1st, sooner than we expected due to the Thanksgiving holiday. They want to make sure that they have everything in stock for our fundraiser and they tend to run out close to Thanksgiving.

Please note in the email below that if you pay a $25 fee you can opt out of selling. You can also sell more than required and make a commission to help with your registration cost that was already paid.

I will have the order forms on Tuesday at practice, but I am trying to get a .pdf of the items for sale to post here so you can start selling now. Also, if you are like us and have no family in town, you can send it to them electronically! I will get this out as soon as I can! If you want to just bring the orders or the $25 opt out fee to practice on Saturday I will return all of them together to the office.

Thanks!

To All PYHA participants

As you will be aware, PYHA did not increase the basic registration fee for the 2009-10 season, the decision was made in light of the current economic situation and the wish to keep hockey costs down for all members: however the ice costs have increased and there has been an initial cost involved in setting up the online registration system, so the fees will not cover the cost of running the program this season. Online registration was taken as an option this year as the result of many requests from members for credit card and online services and the need to reduce the time taken to process registrations and payments.

In the past PYHA has run fundraisers such as Rivermen voucher sales and Mustang raffle tickets, these were mandatory and included in the fees at the start of the season. Your team Managers attended meetings on Oct 19th and 20th and received details of this years fundraiser, which is also mandatory, but has options to suit the needs of all members . It is designed not only to raise the funds required for the organization, but also to provide the players with a chance to raise some funds for their own benefit. There is also a buy out option, for players who choose not to take part, to help families with more than one player and busy schedules!

The items chosen from GFS for the sale are mainly seasonal, pies, pizza and cookies. Once the forms are turned in to GFS they will fill out the orders for us and parents will need to collect orders from GFS on November 14th. There is a short turn around time because GFS would like to make sure that all items will be available, they may sell out of items closer to Thanksgiving, so they have asked that all forms be returned to them sooner than expected. Please make sure that you ask your team manager for your forms at your next practice!! Saves the form hanging round the house too!! All must be returned to the fundraiser box, upstairs at the rink by Sunday Nov 1.

Attached, you will find a copy of the Chillis fundraiser that they have kindly agreed to run for us and details of the 3 on 3 tournament set up for the winter holidays, more details to follow!

Please see below the summary of dates and instructions, any questions please mail Sandra or Tracey. Thanks to them for their hard work in organizing the fundraiser, as always, if you would like to help out through volunteering, please contact any Board member.
