We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that bought calendars for supporting us!!  We hope to see you again next year!!  We would also like to congratulate all of the winners.  A complete list of the winners can be viewed by clicking here.

There are potentially 11 more opportunities between now and the Reno trip to raise money working in the concession stands at Gillette stadium.  These opportunities are working either soccer or lacrosse events.  The soccer games (7 of them) and 1 of the 4 lacrosse games (the NCAA Division I championship game) represent an approximate 5 hour time commitment and pay a flat $50 plus tips (although they have told me not to expect much if anything in tips, apparently the soccer fans are not big tippers) per person per event.  The remaining 3 of the 4 lacrosse events are double-headers and probably represent at least a 6 hour time commitment and pay the same flat $50 plus tips (and I am not sure if the lacrosse crowd are better tippers or not).

This is not just an opportunity to raise $550 (11 X $50) for your girls.  These events pay $50 per person and you can send multiple people to each event and each would earn $50 on your daughter's behalf.  With that said, girls that are already 18 years old can work these events as well as their parents, family members, friends, etc.  Unfortunately, girls that are not yet 18 cannot work.

The events are listed below.  If you are interested in working one of the events, it would be best to contact me at least 5 to 7 days prior to the event.  I can be contacted at tom@blastvolleyball.com or at (401) 742 - 6147.
