The trip for our H1 Thunder 13U team is a go. The fundraisers will kick off with a car wash (King St. next to McDonald's) on Sunday, June 16, followed by another car wash (same site) on Sunday, June 23. There will be other fundraisers soon, like cookies, chili tickets, etc.
Below are the breakdowns of costs, followed by a very flexible itinerary. The plan is to go to both tournaments in Anaheim and Las Vegas. So the next step is for everyone to tell me if they are 100% committed or not. I have to get a "head count" immediately so we can focus on locking in good prices for air fare.
Right now, prices on Hawaiian Airlines (website) are not great. But on Priceline.com, pretty good, especially with their combo deals for hotel rooms, car rentals.
Go through this info below and please provide me with your ideas, questions, thoughts. Call me at 551-1054 or e-mail back. Mahalo! Thunder Road Trip 2013 is a go.
Note: Whether we go on the two-city tour or one city, we will have car wash fundraisers at least once a month. To pay for all the league entry fees, post-game meals, uniforms, etc., we need to consistently fundraise. The good byproduct of that will be having fundraiser money ahead of time next year for the next trip. WE LUB THIS GAME!
