Help Our Local Apprentice

Ann Breeding is competing in our local Iowa Stars Apprentice Competition. She asked me to relay the message below to all our players and followers. Please support her in any way you can!

Hello to all my hockey friends & family! Guess what?? I have been picked to participate as a contestant in the Apprentice Hockey League. Bottom line of the contest is that there are 20 of us chosen for the competition and the first task assigned is to put a group night together for a Stars game, and the task is titled "BE UNFORGETTABLE". This means that we must make an impression on the judges that will BE UNFORGETTABLE! Quantity is good, but QUALITY is more impressionable! The game is Saturday, February 9th, at 7pm. The price of a ticket is $9.50 and you receive a ticket in the lower bowl, hot dog, chips and a can of soda. Can't beat that! Anyway, I am needing all of my friends, family and co-workers to support me in this endeavor in order to be successful. After the first task, all but 5 contestants will be eliminated. The winners will be posted on-line February 10th. Then those 5 people will tackle the 2nd task. Then 2 finalists will be picked from that and they will be assigned one final task. The winner gets free season seats for next year so my heart is in it to win!! Tell everyone you know and have them tell everyone they know. I plan on busting out the face paint for the occasion and all you need to do is get a ticket and come have a great time watching the best game on ice! If any of you have any marketing knowledge, I welcome suggestions on how to BE UNFORGETTABLE! I worked out a deal with the Stars store so that we can each purchase a matching neon colored Iowa Stars shirt for only $6. How cool is that? This should really make us stand out, and let the judges recognize that you are there to show your support. If you already have tickets, you can still get the t-shirt for that price. When you call to purchase tickets, ask for Ryan Smiley and he will also take the t-shirt orders. There will be no limit on the t-shirts at that price so feel free to order one for every person that you bring. The shirt orders must be placed by February 1st. Tickets can be purchased at this price through 5PM, February 8th.
Basically, all you need to do is show up and be ready to have some fun! Feel free to paint your face, or bring noise makers. Anything to make this night unforgettable! I will be bringing some things to pass out to people in the group to help make this a memorable game....but I must keep it a secret so that the information does not leak to the other contestants. We don't want to give away our plans! ;o) I will tell you that we will have a specific theme chant for that game and we will let you in on what that is once you arrive. I promise not to embarrass anyone and I hope that this will be as fun for all of you as it will be for me.
IT'S ALL FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME! ***To get this ticket price, call Ryan Smiley at 564-8729, and tell him that you are with Annie's group. He will take care of you. Hope to see you all February 9th!!! GAME ON!!!Here is the most important part of the whole deal.....WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT I WILL NOT SUCCEED! IT'S ALL FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o)
