We are also doing something new this year and we really need to get your support. We are doing an advertisement fundraising program where we are soliciting businesses to buy banners or have their logo's placed on the boards of the arena. This is a fundraiser that will help you with your fees as well as raise money for the association to make some upgrades to our arena! Let's get busy trying to get some advertisement from some of the local business we support day to day. Please check your mail for more information on this fundraiser or for more information contact Denise Beaurgard @ femmebelladonna@yahoo.com. If you work for or know of a company that maybe interested in advertising at our arena and investing in our youth please don't hesitate to let us know.

Another fundraiser we need your support on is our Max and Erma's dine to donate which will be held on October 19, 2009 in Livonia. This is an all day event visit Max & Erma's for lunch or dinner and a portion of you bill will be donate back to our association. Please support this to help us keep our fees the lowest in the state and providing equipment for our players.
