[i] So, Val Death and I met with Suzy from Kennewick Jacksons, and she is very eager to have us. There are some evnts we discussed with her, and I'm going to post them here, so everyone can look and see what we talked about. We did reserve some dates for ACRG run events, and tacked ourselves onto a few. Now, all of these can be changed if we as a league do not want that date, something comes up, or we just won't be able to do it. Julie and I just wanted to get the summer fundraiser ball a rollin'! So, with that said, here they are: ( I will also put down some local events we may want to attend, or may clash with anything we did)

March 14: St. Patricks Bash at Jacksons
March 20 & 21: Irish Games WOO-HOO!
April 18th : SCHAWANA'S B-DAY! Also, UFC fight at Jackson's,music by Foggy Hollow and guests
May 5: Cinco De Mayo at Jacksons
May 30: Bikers For Boobs Poker Run, awesome!
June 20: ACRG fundraiser, jello wrestling
June 25,26,27: Cool Desert Nights(carwash and more!)
July 11 or 18: ACRG B-Day Party!

We only talked about thru July, so more may come soon! Once again, don't be afraid to put your thoughts and ideas here! None except St Paddy's bash is set in stone!

Am I the only one who has issues with the image associated with "jello wrestling"? It just doesn't seem like the positive pro-woman, athletic image that was the original intent of ACRG....so even though I'm pregnant and am not going to be skating this season, I feel very strongly about this.

Buffy

The events look good. I know for May on the last weekend I have a girl scout event already planned. I don't like fights, however, I would be there to celebrate Schwana's birthday....I can bring the paddle!

How does Suzy feel about us getting other sponsers that are beer and/or bar related?

Scrappy

Schawana's B day is not the event, she is having a all ages party, this is just a few of us being there to sell merch, hold up round #'s , and make our presence known. As for Buffy's feelings, wierd that this is the first time you have said anything, and Jello wrestling has been planned many times. But, it's fun, obviously not degrading to the girls who want to do it, and it's bound to pull people in.

It doesn't matter Dirty. I'm effectively out the entire season so who cares anyway but FYI I have ALWAYS from the very beginning been against jello wrestling. Just thought that, since we are trying to get sponsors right now and have still YET to have a bout in the actual Tri-Cities, we may want to rethink anything too risque. Just wanted to voice my opinion.

No worries, Buffy. I just had never heard that from Ya! And who knows, others might feel the same, and not have said anything, either. But once again, it'll be fun for those invoved, and hopefully help pull some dirty old men with wherehouses in!

Consider volunteering at the Blues and Brews festival on May 9th. If we had 4 or 5 ladies in Atomic T-shirts selling tickets for beer we could work up our fan base.

The Hogs an Dogs is a great idea. And same with the ride on the back thing.

I have been saving up my jello wrestling alter ego for a long long time. Whatever everyone's impression is of us, it sounds like fun. And, I will kick all your asses. The 20th I do have a wedding to attend.

What have we done as far as contacting people for cool dessert nights?

Im down for the Blues and Brews fest I did that last year and it was loads of fun, so Im willing to man it again. As long as it doesnt interfer with any other ACRG event going on. Im not a very good wrestler let alone in Jello but hey Im game to help raise sum mollah for us. Cant thnk of anything else at the moment. Man!! my cat keeps sitting on my hands and keyboard!! frustrating...lol anyways. See all you lovelys later Much Derby Luv Smash
