Chocolate Sale Update--Orders Due Mon/Tues

The chocolate fundraiser is in full swing, with orders due to your team manager by Monday, February 9th for Initiation, House and 12U----and Tuesday February 10th for 14U and 19U. 

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.rr.com or 607-539-6029.


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!

Essay Submissions by Friday about YOUR Local Hockey Heroes

Players, parents and coaches are encouraged to write a short essay (250 words or less) about their Local Hockey Heroes and submit to tgha0809@yahoo.com by Friday Feb. 13. 

Depending on the number of submissions, there will be a message to the TGHA All email list listing all of those named with some amount of descriptive information pulled from the essays. 

Our Local Hockey Heroes could later become a bulletin board display or section of our web site.  If there are volunteers interested in this project, let Mary know.

Thanks for your interest in honoring our heroes!
