Help Needed ...

A note from Matt Hawkins, Sports Marketing Manager for the Bloomington-Normal Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

We are excited to be hosting the IHSA Boys Golf State Finals for another year. It will take place on October 14-15, 2011 at The Den, Prairie Vista, and Weibring Golf Club. We are looking for volunteers for this event, mainly for driving shuttle carts around the courses for spectators. Please consider helping out at this great event. See attached for the volunteer form and more information. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Boys Golf Fundraiser @ Bloomington Noodles on 9/7

On Wednesday September 7th if you or anyone you know eats at Noodles from 4-9, 10% of the proceeds will benefit the boys golf team. Please note that this is only available at the Bloomington location, on Veterans Pwky. I know the date may be tough for some of you as varsity is out of town that night and at 6:30 is the U-High open house. But perhaps you will want to eat out prior to going to the open house, as there really won't be time to make dinner after work :-)

Please help me spread the word by inviting your friends and colleagues. Attached is information about the benefit. I do not know if you need to bring in one of the coupons (attached) or just mention U-High golf team.

Contact Lori Baracani (309-454-2456 or lori@harbeckassociates.com) if you have questions.
