Hi all, The swimsuits ordered through Overlander are almost ready to go. Overlander will be contacting individuals soon to advise them of pick-up and payment instructions.

Also, the size youth size 28 female suit and youth size 28 boys jammer are back-ordered. Please contact Overlander if you have any questions: 867-873-2474.

Do you need more 50/50 tickets to sell over the holidays? Or have you not yet picked up a book to sell? Let Angie know and she can drop a book or two off. We still have over 30 books of 50 tickets in a box that need to be sold. If we sell all the 5000 tickets printed, the winner gets $12,500. Otherwise, it's a smaller jackpot which makes for a less exciting 50/50 draw and also less money raised for the club. Also, $1 from each ticket you...
