If you don't know what to sign up for, just meet me at HCC at 9am and come help me clean up scotch broom at Ken Leo Marvin Park behind QFC! (Please bring work gloves and some yard tools!)

And MONDAY!

That's right our annual Rainier Game is THIS MONDAY (29th)!

If you want to go, PLEASE LET JEN/HEATHER/MIKE know so that we can have enough tickets bought and seats on the bus to get you there and back!

We'll be meeting at the church at 5pm. Tickets will cost $15 per student and will include a hot dog, chips and soda (other family members only $10).

This is the game where we cheer on the OPPOSING teams Right Fielder from the Tucson Padres! Will it be Chris Denorfia? Matt Clark? Bobby Kielty? Who knows (It'll probably be Bobby)? We won't until we get there, the only thing we do know is that that guy is the most amazing player EVER!

So if you want to have the most fun ever at a baseball game, grab your friends and family and come out to the game with us!

Bring a friend, bring your family, bring a jacket and don't forget to contact us by email or phone  to make sure your on our list!

Can't wait to see you all there!
