Wed. Nov. 30, 2011 at 7:00 PM
Northwest High School AuditoriumFor Athletes & Parents grades 8 –12

Northwest Athletics is hosting a FREE College Recruiting Seminar on Wed. Nov. 30th at 7:00pm in the auditorium. This event is open to the public. We hope that people from other MCPS schools will attend.

Rick Wire from Dynamite Sports will be making a presentation that covers the recruiting process from A to Z. He has a web page www.DynamiteSports.com which is very informative. He also has reference materials available at low cost.

This seminar will help our parents to become more knowledgeable and REALISTIC about athletic scholarships and the recruiting process.  I am also encouraging middle school families to attend so they can learn that NOW is the time to prepare for playing sports in college.

This event will teach our parents and athletes how to find the right college and where to look for financial aid/scholarships

Thanks,
Jim Tapley, Athletic Director

Note: We will need many hands for the first shift to unload and re-bag the potatoes.
Please indicate what time frame you can help when you rsvp to volunteer (see email below).
We will have SSL forms for you after your shift is over.

Location: Christ Church Parish Kensington parking lot located at 4001 Franklin St, Kensington, Md 20895 (parking lot entrance is on Everett St and Connecticut Ave).

Volunteer duties:
-   Unloading 40,000 pounds of potatoes (in 50 pound bags)
-   creating smaller 10 and 20 pound mesh bags (tie the ends of cut mesh)
-  re-bagging the potatoes
- loading potato bags into area food bank/soup kitchen trucks

Volunteers must be 14 or older, volunteers age 11-13 must be accompanied by a parent or adult.
Volunteering to make the 10 and 20 pound mesh bags will be done before the potato drop by 12/12/11.

The Great Potato Drop is a project designed to help the homeless and hungry.
Food manufacturers, such as potato chip companies, often dispose of thousands of pounds of food due to slight blemishes.  This project wishes to both educate our communities on this wasteful practice as well as provide for the needs of others.  We will unload, re package and load the potatoes into trucks to be distributed to area food pantries and soup kitchens.

Please email Christiane Robbins and Elizabeth Lakey at PotatoDrop@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer (please give the time that you are available to work and how many in your group). Please email if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support!
