[TCMUG] Geospatial curling event next week invitation...

[Huberty, Brian]

Anyone interested in forming an open source team should email Colin Lee at
MN DOT (see below) ASAP.  You can forward your group or individually and he
can put you in teams.


The Idea

The thought is to have each group form teams of 4. These teams would then
play a team from another group. We'll curl as many ends as the time allows
and present the high point scoring team with any money raised beyond the
entry fee. The club is charging us $35 per person, for those curling. There
is no fee for those who just want to mingle and watch. The charge $40 per
head per curler, $10 per head per non-curler. Then set aside this extra
money for the scholarship fund award.

Food & Drink

We are proposing that the groups use committee funds to split the cost of
pizza for all. I have 5 sheets of ice on reserve for us. If we fill them
that would be a total of 40 people, plus those coming to watch and hangout.
Drinks will be BYOB, attendees are responsible for bringing whatever
beverage, alcoholic or other.

Payment

The Frogtown Curling Club will take all payment and then write a check
equal to any money raised above the $35 per person fee. The club takes
cash, credit or check.
