Monthly Bulletin

RAHA Bulletin - AUGUST 2008

1)  BANTAM IRISH CLINIC REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE AUGUST 23,

to allow one week to make final preparations. It will close sooner if filled.

2)  A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT REGARDING RAHA BOWLING NIGHT

RAHA Bowling Night Fun-Raiser

@ AMF City Limits – 15400 South Robert Trail, Rosemount

Saturday, September 6^th

4:00PM to 1:00AM

Further details on our Bowling Night Fun-Raiser will be forthcoming,

but until then I wanted to say few words about this new and hopefully

recurring event. As you may know, we have traditionally held a

late-Summer/Fall golf outing as a means of raising some funds

in the off-season. This year we decided to try something different that

would be more family-friendly and inclusive to all RAHA members.

The goal is to raise a few dollars for RAHA, while at the same time

bringing our hockey community together in a social, non-hockey setting. 

We need your support to make this a success. We have AMF City Limits

to ourselves for the whole evening. Bring the kids, neighbors, relatives…

anyone who likes to bowl and have a good time.  I hope to see you all there.

-Troy
