Saturday, May 24th is the first B-Day. This will be the day we will bury ("bury" meaning "Just barely under the dirt!") the first wave of coins and tokens for Saturday's hunts. The burying of coins and other items will start 9:00 to 9:30AM. There will be reburying to do Sunday morning for the final day of hunts. Try to be there between 7:30AM and 8:00AM on Sunday morning. We need ALL club members to help with this burying, the more there are, the less work it is for everyone. Don t forget May 10th is the cutoff date for the early entry fee. Make sure your entry is postmarked by May 10th.

There will be bingo for both cash and prizes and maybe even some surprises! Tickets will be on sale all day Saturday for you to reserve your bingo cards. * Club members are encouraged to bring prize donations to contribute to the fun.* CONCESSIONS As the coordinator for the concession stand during the National Hunt, I really need all the help I can get to work the concessions. I will have a sign up sheet at the May meeting for you to sign up for 2-hour time slots. (You are welcome to work as long as you wish.) It would be great if you can help provide some of the following items to keep the club from having to purchase them, which will help keep the expense down and increase the profits for the club. Ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, relish, sliced cheese, shredded cheese, and of course DESSERTS!!! There will be a sign up sheet for these items at the club meeting. If you are not there, and want to bring something, call or email me so that we don't have too many of one item and not enough of something else. I also need to know by May 20th if you will be providing any of them. Remember, this is a fund-raiser for YOUR club, and to make it successful YOU need to help make it work!!! Thank you in advance for your help!!! Cathy Young Phone: (918) 360-5586 Email: clyoung123@yahoo.com
