Other House keeping notes: 

1. Moose head game: please note families should sign up for the mouse head game under events tab on Facebook. All families have one parent represented on Facebook so please have them update how many tickets your family needs. We need to purchase 40 tickets at least in order to participate in the relay. We will pay for players tickets from budget but other family tickets will be paid separately. Stay tuned for more information.

2. Seed money: Mike, Melissa  and I have decided to collect a round of seed money when the bank account is opened. Parents will be required to send $250 to the team account at this time. If you have carried over budget from 50-50, this may cover your seed money. 

3. Socks: we will be a one sock team, using the black and orange socks as our socks. Thank you to Jen and Stephen for going out and purchasing these for the team. Each player will be charged for socks purchased on their budget.
