Calendars for Fundraising
We will be selling calendars again this year. The calendars will be sold for $20 a piece with a drawing held sometime in January 2009 where stubs will be drawn to determine the money winners for each day of 2009. Each day’s winner receives $30 for most days with other amounts ranging from $100 to $500 for certain holidays. A total of almost $15,000 is given out. Each player will be required to sell 10 calendars. If a family has more than 2 players in hockey, the calendars will be received by the oldest participating child. Each family will only be required to sell 10. For first year players when no other child in the family plays hockey in the association, the player will be required to sell 5 calendars. If a first year player has another sibling playing in the association the family will be required to sell 10 calendars. If a family has one or more players playing and all are first year players, then the family is only required to sell 5 calendars. Even if a family does not sell their allotted calendars, they will be responsible for payment of the entire amount and are required to hand in the stubs filled out with their own names on them.
   
2nd Annual Coon Rapids Hockey Golf Tournament
The 2nd Annual Coon Rapids Golf Tournament is being held on Saturday, September 6th at Victory Links golf course in Blaine (by the Super Rink).  It will be an 18 hole best ball tournament.  See this flyer for more details.  After the golf outing there will also be a grand opening event for CRYHA pull tabs at CR's.  Mark your calendar now and plan to attend one or both events!

Food Perspectives is a program that allows people to make money for themselves and an organization of their choice. You can earn up to $21-$35 each time you participate and $9 will also be donated to CRYHA. We need 30 applications (age 18-65) to get started. If you currently are a Food Perspectives panelist, please state that on the application by saying you would like to transfer your organization to CRYHA. Your application would be accepted as part of the initial 30 to get started. If interested - Please complete this application and put in the mailbox at the rink. Any questions, Please call Bill Kiecker @ 780-0785 or Darcy Hanson @ 783-0703.
