Dear Charger Parents,
I have to start this email by saying the parents, grand parents, relatives, friends and Hillsdale students came out in full force to support the Charger Football team! What an awesome show of support. I have to believe it makes a huge difference to the guys on the field. So I start this by saying, "GREAT JOB CHARGER FANS!!!"
Next on the list....WHAT A GAME!! Our guys did a terrific job beating the Michigan Tech. Huskies. It was an exciting game and we had more points on the board at the end of the game. I love it!!!
This Saturday we take on the Northwood Timberwolves at 12 Noon. That means that once again we have a 10am tailgater. We will meet in the parking lot just south of the Bennett Sports Center. I have included directions so you should have no problems. AGAIN, we will have some folks firing up the grills, so feel free to use them!
If you still need to make Friday night lodging arrangements......

Since this is a road trip for the team, WE NEED 4 VOLUNTEERS TO BRING TREATS FOR THE BUS ride home. You don't need to be Betty Crocker to volunteer for this job. The players are usually ravenous and will eat just about anything after the game. Treats can be store bought or home made. Please email back to me if you are able to help out with this. You will need to supply @3-4 dozen items. Believe me, these things will be devoured. The boys really appreciate the goodies.
Next week we play at home. The following 2 weeks we will be on the road. The following are the lodging arrangements that have been made. Make your RSVP early.
