Ah,
the smell of freshly cut grass, the sound of birds chirping, and the
warmth of the golden rays of the sun.
These things can only mean 1 thing: you only have 7 weeks to
get ready for the 2001 Choey Memorial Pentathlon!!!!!!!
Sign-ups are from 11:00 AM to 11:45 AM on Saturday, July 21,
with the events starting promptly at 12:00 NOON.
The
entry fee is $80/team if you pre-register, $90.00/team if you
register after July 1. Pre-Registration
works this way: 1- Fill out the entry from enclosed, 2- Place entry
form in the enclosed, stamped, return envelope, 3- Write a check for
$80.00, 4-Put the check in the same stamped envelope, 5 - Drop the
envelope in the mail. IT’S
THAT EASY!!!!!! Not
only will you save $10.00, but also ALL entry forms received on or
before JULY 1, 2001 will be given PRIORITY PLACEMENT into the events
requested. As always,
we cannot guarantee your events, but if you pre-register, your
chance of getting the events you want will increase significantly.
We will only have room for 8 Wiffleball teams again this
year. If this is an
event you want, Pre-Registration is a must.
Unfortunately, there is a downside to Pre-Registering; there
are NO REFUNDS!
If
you can’t make this year’s event, please drop us a note and tell
us so that we keep you on the mailing list or even if you have to
let us know that you no longer want to be on the mailing list.
For
$40.00/person (pre-registered) you each get a Kuch original T-shirt,
all you can eat and drink for 2 1/2 days, a pig roast, door prizes,
trophies, t-shirts, live entertainment, and lots of laughs.
Of course, all are welcome even if you don’t want to
compete. A donation of
$30.00/person is required for food, adult beverages, door prizes and
T-shirt.
The
float on Sunday is alive and well!
We now are using a local rafting company, White Water
Willies, so there will be a charge of $25 for rafts on Sunday.
The trip will be the same as last year with sandwiches,
beverages (pilsner and otherwise), and music on the river.
We
will have 3 Divisions this year, Men’s, Mixed, and Women’s.
Each division will have separate rankings and separate
trophies. However, all
teams will still compete against each other throughout the day.
Once
again, this year, the Early Session will have 6 “Skill” events.
These events start at 12:00 NOON on Saturday.
The Early “Skill” events are: Horseshoes, Badminton,
Wiffleball, Foosball, Darts, and Golf.
The Late “Fun” Events will start at 3:30 PM on Saturday.
The Late events are: Egg Throw, Keg Throw, and Relay Race.
Definitely bring cameras to the Late events!
The
raffle will start at 5:15 PM. The
auction will start at 6:00 PM.
BeerPong starts at 7:00 PM.
A classic rendition of “God Bless America” will start at
Sunrise both Saturday and Sunday.
BeerPong
will be run the same as last year, for those who braved the rain.
Everyone will be assigned a table.
You will play on the SAME table all night.
Each table will be its own self-contained tournament.
This means that there will be no more yelling and it will
make it much easier for all involved.
This allows everyone to know exactly where to be and when to
be there.
The
raffle will be run exactly the same as in past years. Raffle Tickets will still be priced as follows: 1
Ticket-$5.00, 3 Tickets-$10.00, 7 Tickets-$20.00, or 10
Tickets-$25.00. Each
prize will have a bag next to it.
Place as many tickets in the bag next to the prizes you want.
There is no limit on the amount of prizes you may win.
As always, if anyone has anything to raffle off- PLEASE,
PLEASE, PLEASE let us know. Any
and all gifts would be greatly appreciated.
We
will have an auction again this year!
Years past have been great successes. This year’s will
probably be even bigger from what we hear is being donated.
Regardless, we still need items to auction.
If you know of ANYTHING you think you can donate, please get
in touch with us. We really do need additional items. We should have plenty of sports memorabilia, golf clubs, etc.
so….. BRING MONEY!! Mike
Maiolo does a great job of running the Auction and he truly gets the
most for every item and the Auction is one of the biggest
contributors to the bottom line.
Thanks to everyone last year for keeping the noise level down
during the bidding process, it was much appreciated and allowed for
things to run much faster.
Please
Remember - Everyone that works this weekend is a volunteer, they
deserve courtesy and gratitude for all they do.
Try to treat everyone with the utmost respect and don’t
forget everyone is doing his or her absolute best to make this
weekend fun and successful for everyone.
We
forgot to mention last time that Jimmy McInerney and Cortney Kelly
will be tying the knot the weekend before this year’s Pentathlon.
Alas, they will be on their honeymoon and will not be joining
us in the festivities.
Get
ready for the musical talents of Jon Zanger.
Jon will be performing your favorites from the 60’s,
70’s, 80’s and today. Jon
will play Friday night AND Saturday night of the Pentathlon, barring
any torrential downpours.
