yearbook

I talked to the director of the yearbook about getting some photos of the rugby team in it. He thought that it was a great idea. I will send the team photo but he would also like 6-7 more pictures (action shots are best). If your family took pictures that we did not get a copy of and there is a good action shot please email or send a copy with Abby, otherwise we will pick some photos and send them before the December deadline.

Also, a special thanks to Sara K. for pushing the rugby article in the Scope. Many incoming families got copies of the paper and came over to talk about the program. All together we had many incoming freshman that are interested in coming out next year. If some of them come out, some of the girls that signed up at club day along with our "core" players - that's you guys - we will have a good size team!

Sad new re:fund raising from Gilles. I talked with the manage and they currently don't do what Culvers does by giving a charity 10% of the profits for a 2 hour period. I left him with some facts on how it would increase his profits if it was done on a star day and we had the teachers phone in orders which were picked up/delivered by the rugby team and he said he was willing to think about it but I'm not holding my breath.

fund raising

Happy election day!
If you girls are like Abby you may be having some rugby withdrawal. While I know the spring season does not start for a while we have been looking into different ways to make money so we can compete in tournaments. A few girls will be going to California in March along with Oak Creek and Northshore to make up one of the 14 girls international teams at Fullerton. We are looking into tournaments for late spring and possibly some travel scrimmages this summer or 7's tournaments. In order to cut down on costs AND to get the money to cover the cost of the uniforms that you would eventually like (hot pink) we need to fund raise starting now.

* Shirts will be hitting the bookstore soon (possible x-mas presents for loved ones???) - we have to work out an account with them because we are the only "club" to sell in the bookstore and then Pius controls your money.

* Anyone interested in selling candy let me know. Also if you have a Sam's card so we can buy in bulk let me know. I have purchased some large candy bars, Reese's pb cups and large boxes of m&m's at a very good rate - we should be able to double our money on each.

* Holiday bake sale at Pius???? I am not sure if we need permission or who to get permission from so if anyone would like to line up a date for a bake sale sometime early Decemberish in the union that would be great.

* I have contacted a cookie company that sells 13 different types of pre-made cookie dough and they are sending out packets for those who wish to sell. They are promising that the dough will be here in time for Xmas which will make it easier to sell - at least from this full time working mom's view.

* I am still looking into Mayfair malls gift wrapping for charity but no guaranty yet.

* A Culvers night is also a possibility however I am not sure how we could get the word out to enough people to make this worthwhile. We would get 10% of the profits for the orders that came in with the Pius slips -- and no we can't hand them out at Culvers.

* Anyone with pull at Gilles let me know. I was thinking about asking them to do the 10% thing on a 'star' day. That way kids could walk from Pius to get food AND the teachers could phone in their orders, give you girls the money and you run back/forth so they can eat during their meetings and we would get money.

* Mr. Z's has contacted us about possibly selling pizzas in late winter. I work at a poor inner city school and the school just raised $9,000 from selling these. Just a thought.


Please let us know if you have any ideas, can arrange any fundraising events, find a rich donor looking for somewhere to spend money etc.

Two last things:
- We still need 2 jerseys from the last game & Dann's game shorts
- Christmas is just around the corner. I was thinking that the team could get together and sign a xmas paper that will be made into a team xmas card (with your team photo) and given to all the teachers at Pius -- a little suck up goes a long way.

Any questions or comments let us know.

Fundraising

We have found out that if we work concessions for basketball games we get to keep 60% of what we earn. We were wondering how many people would be willing to work there (this would put credit towards the trip,) Also we are looking into a Culvers night, and we are going to see if we could do something at Giles. Any more ideas or questions contact us.

Open House

We got a table for open house, so we need girls to come and help set up on Sat. at 3 on Saturday, and then we need people to work the table from 8:30-230ish on Sunday and Mon from 5-8. Coming and helping at the booth will help serve as credit towards you for the California trip in March.

End of Season

I was unable to find a way for us to get out onto the field one last time. I am very proud of the way you all took to the game and the heart you showed all year, every game, every minute. I truly hope to see allof you back in the spring. Dann

final game

We just wanted to let everyone know that we are still trying to find another team to play with us against Catholic Memorial. Currently Fond du lac is considering it. I know they are considering sometime between 16-19. I am sorry that there are no pictures from last weeks game but the person who had my camera didn't take any. If you have some good photos get them to us and we will put them up.
