King Philip Girls Varsity Hockey Team Begins Fundraising Efforts for 2008-09 Season

There will be a King Philip girls varsity ice hockey team next year (08'-09')! This team will be self-funded, so they are ramping up efforts to raise the necessary funds to field a successful team. 

Look for representatives at Norfolk's Community Day on Saturday, June 7, 2008.  Representatives will be at a booth with a puck-shooting contest from 10:30 AM to 4:00 PM.  They hope to spread the word about the new team and the upcoming season to any new and interested girls and also to possibly get community donations.

Also, there will be a fundraising dinner Tuesday, June 17, 2008 at Luciano's on Route 1 in Wrentham.  The event will be held from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM.  A full dinner buffet will accompany music by the Berkshire Valley Boys.  Raffle prizes will be awarded.  The cost of the event is $60.00 per person, so don't miss out!   All proceeds from this event will go directly to the newly approved KPHS Girls Varsity Ice Hockey team.

For further information, please contact Jeanne Siegmann, Kristen Geuss, or Diane Sajdak.
