IF YOU'VE GOT SOLD BOOKS OF TICKETS DROP THEM OFF AT ONE OF THE SPONSORS OR CONTACT ME.  DEADLINE 6 PM OCT 14^th - Tuesday!

DUFFY'S PUB has entries
Stop by and do a quick swing through the pub with your nice orange shirt and make sure that everyone is aware. I'll be there tomorrow night with my old guys Duffy's soccer team. Tom and Mike F are stopping in on Thursday. If you've got time over the weekend stop by. Contact another member to go for a beer or bite to eat. Say hello to Josh or PJ at the bar.

FARMERS MARKET
I could use someone to bring down a table for 8:00 Saturday and take it away at 12. If you want to join me come along and bring a coffee! Dorys is getting some Aurora pamphlets printed to hand out too.

DORYS will be printing Aurora Rotary Info packs for the Farmer's Market this week.

BLAZERS GAMES
Randy was going to go through Spike to see if we can set up this weekend. It should be a good time to sell.

GET THE WORD OUT.
Pass the website around anywhere in the Province. I've gotten a few entries to our megahockeypool@shaw.ca e-mail address. They can be scanned and sent there as well as the fax.

IF YOU'VE GOT OTHER IDEAS PASS THEM ALONG. TAKE A LOOK AT THE WEBSITE FOR THE NEW STANDINGS PAGE. IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THEIR TEAM.
