Cornhole for a Cause 9-11:
Saturday September 11, 2010
This will be a Cornhole Tournament that will benefit Jared and Jill Meese.
Due to some emergency surgeries with no health insurance, they have been under a huge amount of emotional and financial
stress. The running total for their shared medical expenses is over $12,000, and they have not yet received every bill.
We are hoping this event will be a way to show our love and support for friends in need, and have a great time doing it!
The Tournament will be on Saturday, September 11th, 2010 at Hemingway's on Kent Island.
It will be $25 per person, or $50 per team to enter into the Tournament.
The winning team will receive $100 and a "Cornhole for a Cause" Trophy.
We want to try and give as much notice as we can so more people can come and have a great time supporting good people in
need in the community.
If you think you may not be able to make it, but want to support Jared and Jill, we welcome donations. We are going to try
and set up an account at a local bank, but until then just contact me and I'll make sure it goes into the fund.
* Thank you in advance for your support!

Military Voter Protection Project:
Posted August 28, 2010 (10am-2pm)
Maryland is one of the states along with: AK, CO, DE, HA, MA, NY, RI,
WA and WI. WE NEED TO GET INVOLVED! Check out the rest of the MVP Project website for more info, they need our help! The concern is that these states
have had more than a year to either: Mail out their absentee ballots within the federally mandated time frame; move their primary; or add an extension to
time allowed for receiving absentee votes for the general election, yet they did not. So now they are requesting waivers from the federal law forcing
them to mail absentee ballots 45 days in advance to serving Men/Women overseas.
They failed to adhere to a federal mandate and our now asking government to approve the denial of hundreds of thousands of American Citizens
who are facing death for this country the right to vote?? Here is the website for more information:

Queen Anne's Soccer Club Expands:
Posted March 18, 2010

including parents and volunteers, over the years”, says Joe Grabis, past president. Joe also added, “We’ve seen the club
grow from a couple hundred to over 600 players today”.
The expansion into travel team play for the club is to build upon the club’s desire to provide the youth of the local
counties a high quality, safe, friendly and rewarding outlet through soccer that includes both recreational and competitive
travel teams. “With the growth of soccer not only here, but throughout the state and nation, we were seeing kids leave our
club and area to pursue more competitive alternatives to what we were offering”, according to Willy Agee, President of
Queen Anne’s Soccer Club, “We saw that we needed to grow to keep up with the evolving needs of the families area”.
Queen Anne’s Soccer Club now offers two fully resourced soccer divisions:
1) a Recreation Division for kids interested in learning and enjoying soccer. The recreation division is open for girls
and boys in the following age brackets: 4, 5/6; 7/8, 9/10 and U15.
2) a Travel Division for kids interested in more competitive and developmental play. Travel teams for boys and girls
will be available in the U-10 and U-12, and U14 age groups.
Additionally, there will be a new website at ( www.qasoccerclub.org ), coaching development program, need based scholarships,
great uniforms and awards, and fun for all.

3rd Monday of each month at the Centreville Free Library.
