From the President
Hello all Race Families,
The Banquet was a great success as planned! Thanks Mary Lindahl at the National Sports Center! The accommodations were perfect! It sounded like everyone that attended had a great time and my first attempt at a power point slide show with a ROCK CONCERT theme seemed to work out. I got a couple of other ideas to add to that for next year I can’t wait to try em! I’ll never forget this group of racers. As I said on Saturday to the Racers of Kids Pro Ice, YOU ROCK!!!!
I want to thank everyone who helped out one more time because as you all know I am not great at expressing this in person or through personal address, so again, Thanks to all who pitched in for this Banquet and especially a HUGE thanks to Kelly Steuernagel for obtaining, building and bringing all the centerpieces, and the remarkable display we had up front. She also had a friend Amy put together the participation Awards and they both did an outstanding job with this huge project. They were awesome and we saved enough money to cover the upgrade in year end trophies as well as adding the Open Champ traveling trophy.
Thanks to everyone who donated items to the Banquet and also a huge thanks to Jen Waite for taking on the year book task again this year and getting them done before the banquet, everyone was amazed. They are a professional piece and are perfect! Great Job!
Thanks also to the Bihner family for the pop bottle ring toss game and for getting the Indoor Moon Walks for zero cost! Its little things like these that really help this club save money.
It was also awesome to have an official photographer this year! Russ Cramblet took hundreds of photos which is a win / win for some of us who have no time to take pictures of these short lived moments of us and our kids. If you need to get a hold of him visit www.fulltiltracingphotos.com and I really hope to see him on the ice next year!
