Cold Weather Tonight
Check the
weather report for specifics but it is predicted to be cold again tonight and
coaches will adjust practice activities accordingly. There are many ideas
for increasing the girls comfort including light gloves inside of their hockey
gloves, warm headbands under helmets, and tights under hockey=2 0pants.
Chocolate
The chocolate fundraiser is
in full swing, with orders due to your team manager by Monday, February 9th.
This is a great chance to help TGHA and support scholarships, equipment loans,
and other TGHA activities and events. All you have to do is buy the bars
from TGHA for $30 per case (30 bars), then sell them for $1 each. You get
your money back, so in the end there is no cost to you. TGHA makes a
profit of 50% from every case you buy! Forms have been distributed to
team managers, and can also be found on the website. If you have any
questions please contact Liz Wood at lizwood@twcny.
P.S. Some
have said they can sell the bars for more than $1 each since it's for a good
cause like TGHA. If you do this, or are given additional donations, send
the additional funds to Liz by way of your team manager!
