AMS Banquet 2011

Parents/Guardians

We need help planning and organizing the middle school banquet for our Championship Team. If you are interested and can help in any way please let us know as it will be greatly appreciated. The banquet will take place in the AMS Commons area (lunchroom) at a date yet to be finalized but close to the winter break in Dec. This will give us time to get everything planned/organized/created/ordered for a fantastic event for our team. We need help with the following:

1. Potluck/Desert/Drinks/etc….. we need to know who is bringing what so we don’t have too many of the same thing.
2. Plates/Napkins/Cups/Plasticware
3. Decorations

Currently we are working on putting together either a highlight video or game compilation on DVD. We will have to charge for those to cover the cost. More info will be available as we get close to the banquet. Just keep an eye on the website for up to date info regarding this. Each player will receive a championship t-shirt and a trophy or memory keepsake.

If you are unable to help with the banquet, donations would be greatly appreciated. Make checks payable to “Alcoa Middle School Football Boosters”. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or need additional information. We need this information back as soon as possible. Yellow forms were sent home with the boys regarding this information to be returned today. We understand that not all parents/guardians received this so please email Coach McClurg mmcclurg@alcoaschools.net by the end of the week, 4th Nov 2011 so we can start getting things in order.

We will need the following:

1. Parents/Guardians Name:
2. Phone #:
3. Email:
4. Players Name:
5. Number of Family Members that will be attending.
6. Potluck and other items you will be bringing
