In case you have yet to hear, today's meet has been postponed to tomorrow, Wednesday, 4/18.  The team still has practice today from 3:15 to 5:00pm.

Hello all!  This Saturday we will be hosting the largest invitational in the state with close to 40 schools represented!  Even with this number of schools, we anticipate being done between 3 and 4 pm.  With this being our only fundraiser, we hope you can find the time to come and help in some form or fashion.  With athletes, teachers, parents, local businesses, and police involved, this event truly does take a village to manage at a level the rest of the state has come to expect, but gives us an opportunity to showcase our awesome community!

Here is the Jobs List.  Please take a look, and if you are already listed, please RSVP.  If not, please volunteer by emailing Coach Cox.  We purposely overload each field event, so you can take breaks as needed (especially when your athlete is competing!!!).  Besides parking (very important), we will be having a volunteer meeting at 8:15 am.

Below is some information from Jackie Snow and the Snack Shack!

Hello Track and Field Families! 

This Saturday, April 29th, is the Black Bear Invitational! This is a large meet and we expect close to 40 schools and many, many people in attendance. 

For this meet we do quite a bit more with the concession stand including "crockpot" meals. In the past we have had breakfast casseroles, mac-n-cheese, soups, stews, chili, pulled pork, meatballs and many more delicious hot food items. These items are a big hit and very appreciated by the people who attend Black Bear. We also grill breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers and cheeseburgers. 

We are looking for the following donations for Saturday:

Crockpot meals
Individually wrapped baked goods (homemade or store bought) - always a big hit!
Gatorade
Whole fruit - apples, bananas, oranges
Chips, Pretzels, Goldfish, Granola Bars
Pop-Tarts and Bagels
Cases of Water

We also need folks to help out at the concession stand. Please volunteer to take a 30 minute shift if you can. We will make sure you see your athlete compete. 

If you can donate items and/or help at the concession stand, please contact Jackie Snow by responding to this email or at barley1@comcast.net.

Thank you again for your continued support and generosity! GO BEARS!

-Jackie Snow and Doreen Mathison
