Happy New Year, MudHoggers!!!

We're starting the ratings week really early this year and are looking for volunteers to help with snow removal on the field behind Union School!!!  ...I kid, I kid...  ;-)

The last email I sent out about the Cosi fundraiser generated quite a response!  Let me thank all of you that have been going to Cosi to eat-in or take out on the days that benefit our awesome program!  These restaurant days generate on average about 140-180 dollars every single time we have one.  That may sound like small potatoes, but let us assure you that it is NOT!  To put it in perspective, over a year, the money we raise doing one Cosi day a month could buy helmets for one of last season's C squad teams (about 15!!!).  That is HUGE!

Here is a list of the Cosi dates we have through this summer.  I will send out an email reminder the day before, just in case, and also this note will stay on our website so you can check back.  Many of you wanted to get the list of dates to organize office luncheons, parties, etc.  Those are great ideas!

1/10, 2/7, 3/14, 4/25, 5/23, 6/20, 7/25, 8/29

Thanks so much for your participation!  

The Farmington Valley MudHogs

PS:  This is for the Avon Cosi only!  :-)
