Hi all

The Karen Shank Foundation is running a volleyball tournament on June 16 in Vaughan. Yes its a little far but they donated the facilities to help us raise money for the Eden Food Bank that runs out of Meadowvale and assists 200-300 families each month put food on the table.

Last year we raised $6500 for Halton Women's Place and hope to top that this year in addition to raising a mini-van full of food and items needed by the shelter. All that good stuff and we get to play a fun day of volleyball. Most participants are from Halton and Peel

For more details see http://www.karenshankfoundation.org/events/beach/ and we have several divisions to enter to allow different skills levels to play. We can assist you in finding a team to play with.

If you don't play volleyball but would like to help us out some of the items the food bank needs are listed here http://edenfoodbank.org/help.html#food and can be dropped off at my house in HV.

If you have a business and can help us out with individual or team prizes that would also be greatly appreciated. We are also soliciting for items for every participant . some ideas - toothbrush, pens, or little bags with your company info

Thanks!

Hello again

It looks like we are going to have 1-2 teams going from Milton and still have lots of time to sign up.
Skill is not required for the rec division, just a willingness to come out for a great cause and have some fun.

Here are some photos from last year

If anyone was thinking of playing I have some people who want to form a team but are short 1-2 players

If you are interested in meeting some friendly people, enjoying the great weather coming up Saturday and helping a great local charity let me know by tomorrow morning. (the courts are in Vaughan, first game at 9:20 and you'll finish aronud 3 or 3:30)

Thanks again for your time
