Teammates for Kids reminder

Convention
1. If anyone is interested in attending the NHLBCC in Las Vegas from August 7 -9, please let me know
2. So far just 3 of us are going, but this is a fun event with lots of other hockey fans!
Assistance for other clubs
1. Anaheim has contacted us for help in reforming their fan club/booster club
2. Los Angeles has asked for suggestions for growing their club the way we continue to grow ours
3. We want to support the success of all clubs, so we will do what we can to help them
Off Season Activities
1. The Coyotes will host events aimed at selling additional tickets
2. There will probably be a Draft Day party also, we’ll pass along details when they become available
3. We will attend all of the public events
4. Any suggestions for other club activities?
  1. Playoff viewing parties?
  2. Diamondbacks games?
  3. Anything else?
2009-10 Season
1. New second charity/walk?
  1. Swift Charities focuses on the West Valley Child Crisis Center, do we do that one and help the Coyotes with a toy drive / clothing drive next season?
  2. Susan G Komen / Pat Tillman?
  3. Find a charity with a local tie?
2. We will be helping the marketing department with the giveaways next season and possibly other events
3. We will need volunteers for the table, as usual
4. 50/50 – we will pick another Saturday game vs a Canadian team in the spring, and hopefully will have another excellent return
  1. Most likely we will remain the Coyotes go-to organization in the event someone isn’t able to fulfill their commitments
5. Rewards?
  1. What kinds of things would you like to earn as rewards?
  2. Keep in mind needs to be low priced so we can maximize our donations
6. Silent Auctions
  1. We will get more jerseys and sticks for auctions next season
  2. Anyone who works for a company that might want to put together any type of package for silent auctions, please let us know
End of year party
1. No information yet, but we are looking at an end of April, early May date
