FUNDRAISING
Once again, we will be enlisting the help of our Skater's parents (who do not plan on paying the Fundraising Fee at registration) to help fundraise in order to keep the cost of registration down.
There is one fundraising project in the works, which is a scratch card lottery with a top prize of travel vouchers for two, any where WestJet flies in Canada (how nice would that be to win?) and the second prize is $100.00 worth of furnace oil from Irving Oil. The price of the tickets are anywhere from 1 cent to $2.50.
Parents will be given a scratch card at Registration which will have to be turned in by November 15th. The draw will take place on December 1st. For those of you who turn in your completed cards and money by October 30th, your name will be placed in a draw for a Day Pass at the Mill River Aquaplex.
