Snack Donations Needed for Meets
Fundraisers!!
It has been custom to provide snacks like granola bars and water for our runners at meets. We are asking for granola/energy bar donations for the team snack wagon. I will store these at my house and bring them to the meets along with water. Donations can be dropped of at Sue Genuario's at 8201 Mack Street, Alexandria, VA 22308. We have over 60 runners on the team. I am also looking for parents to help transport the water (5 gallon containers) and snacks to some of the meets. Contact Sue Genuario at gensue@aol.com or 703 768-2853. Go Wolverines!
Fundraisers!!
· We will get 10% of all sales from West Potomac athletes/parents/supporters at Spike Night on Wednesday 8/29 between 3pm-8pm…spread the word and make sure to let them know you are part of the West Potomac Cross Country family.
· Team Card sales…we ask everyone to sell their cards, each athlete was given 10 cards on 8/22 and asked to sell them by August 31st. The XC team gets a good percentage back of every card sale.
