This program is nothing without its parent volunteers. Please don't hesitate to contact one of our officers and ask how you can help! Thanks for your support!
Volunteers:
Parents have always been generous with their time and the Invitational Committee thanks you for your support. The day promises to be a great opportunity to meet other cross-country parents. Parents are asked to sign up on the sheets for a variety of activities. Please contact Alison Rhodes-Devey for more information.
Baked Goods:
Each family is asked to bring 1 ½ dozen individually wrapped homemade or store bought baked goods to the Invitational on Saturday morning. These items will be sold for $.50 each. Some favorites are muffins, granola bars, fruit snacks, etc. If you choose to send candy bars, please send full size bars. We ask that these items be brought to the park on Saturday morning at 8:00 AM with the runners.
Chili:
Chili has traditionally been the best seller at the Invitational. The secret seems to be combining multiple recipes to make the Invitational Chili. We are asking each family to bring a batch of chili to add to the pot on Saturday morning. Believe us, this will not be too much; we sell out each year and have spectators and runners pleading for more. If you do not have a recipe, a no-fail recipe is printed below:
1 can Bush’s Chili Magic (directions are on the can)
1 pound ground beef
14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 cup diced onions
Cooler:
We need lots of coolers filled with ice!! If you have a cooler, please bring it, filled with ice, to the park on Saturday morning with your runner and baked goods. Ice is used to chill the cans/bottles of beverages (not in the drinks), so homemade bags from you freezer work just fine.
Corporate Donations:
The Invitational Committee is always looking for additional corporate sponsors. Contributions of any amount would be appreciated. All sponsors are publicized in the Invitational program and at the event. Please contact Molly Fusco at 861-6574 if you are able to support the Invitational.
Invitational Shirts:
Invitational shirts will be available at a reduced price after the practice on Wednesday, September 15th and Friday, September 17th for the Guilderland team members. The shirts will be sold at the large pavilion both afternoons. Shirts will also be available on Saturday morning, but for the full price. Shirts will probably sell out early Saturday morning again this year. If your runner is interested, plan to make their purchase on Wednesday or Friday.
DAY OF INVY CHECK LIST:
Reminder: On Saturday morning, bring the following to the park:
1 ½ dozen individually wrapped baked goods
Plastic bag filled with ice (start making extra tonight!)
One batch of your special Chili (see above)
