The Deering - Portland Alumni Reunion and Friends Dance is Friday Nov. 23rd from 8pm to 12pm.

Tickets are $15 each. You can reserve a table (with your name on it) for 8 or 10 people.

We have the band Motor Booty Affair playing for us.

You can bring your own snacks/food or purchase some there.

There are going to be $2 beer specials plus a cash bar.

Anyone 21 and over can attend. ID's will be checked for everyone no matter your age. So please remember to bring one with you.

The money raised is going towards the DHS and PHS Sports Programs (split evenly between the two schools), in an effort to help teams with the Sports Budget Cuts made by the Portland School Committee this year.

Checks should be made out to:

Deering-Portland Dance Committee

We have sold about 600 tickets so far, so we have moved the dance into the Portland Sports Dome! (on Warren Ave.-next to Joker's)

I will be selling tickets at the DHS-PHS Thanksgiving Day Game for a little while.

Or you can call me at 797-6803 to pick them up at my house. Tickets will be sold at the door if we don't sell out...

Should be a Great Night Out!!!

Everyone's Welcome!!!

Thanks for supporting DHS-PHS Sports!!!

What A GAME!!!

Hello All, What a game the BOYS gave us last night. Rams VS Rams!!! This was a true Team effort and a Great Win. The Cheerleaders did great job along with help from the Deering FANS cheering the Team on. What a great way to spend your Friday nights under the lights cheering for the BEST FOOTBALL PROGRAM IN THE STATE. So we will be having a pasta Dinner on Friday night as it appears we will be playing Saturday. How about a tailgate for Saturday? More to follow on that note.

Okay on to new business and YES it is me again asking for help. The State game is 11/17 and we need to work with Portland Football and cheering, Deering Football and cheering and the city. The city runs this, however we do make money (last year 2702.00) so we need all parents to help work one of the three stands during the game. We will NOT have a clue as to when A, B and C will be played until the week before. They are asking for six hours shifts. If you can't do a six hour shift email me and we can work something out.

So here are the times that we need.

Shift 1 8:00- 2:30 Main Stand

Shift 1 8:00- 2:30 Satellite Stand 2

Shift 1 8:00- 2:30 Satelite Stand 3

Shift 2 2:30- 8:30 Main Stand

Shift 2 2:30- 8:30 Satellite Stand 2

Shift 2 2:30- 8:30 Satellite Stand 3

Please send me a note back ASAP as to when you could work. Again that you for your support for Deering High Football. Joyce

Another Easy Way of Making Money for The DHS Football Team!!
We all seem to collect bottles and cans!!! Well I am not offering to pick them up or have one of those bottle drives, however if you bring you bottles and cans to RT 302 Rdemption Center near Dunkin Donuts across from Tee "N" Tee they have a box next to the door for DHS Football. If you have too many for the box ask for our labels. They are keeping a count and will give us a check on October 31st. So another easy way of making money. I was dropping off my bottles and some from Friday's game and The person said she has collected many for DHS folks. So again thanks to all for helping. Joyce Sawyer
