Concession Volunteers needed TONIGHT!!!

Last nights football game will resume at 10 am today.  No admission will be charged.  Stadium clean-up will occur following the game.

The delay puts us at a disadvantage as we understand folks have other plans today.  Any effort folks can make to be at clean-up would help make it easier to get the job done.

We will meet under the scoreboard at the conclusion of the game.  We do take attendance so kids get acknowledged for working. Need 20 each game night.
