Week of October 22, 2017

Good evening Blizzard families,

The countdown is on to Hallowe'en! I'm sure the kids are all excited.

Quick reminder that ice times are cancelled on Hallowe'en so that the kids can all go out trick or treating (with parental approval of course).

Reminder that this weekend is the Stuart Lake Challenge is this coming Saturday. On-ice warm ups start at 8:00am.

Here are this week's updates:

1. Coffee Fundraiser by Fort St. James Falcons
Please could you let folks that are travelling to our meet that we are having a fundraiser during the meet, selling coffee.

It is super yummy and sells for 15/lb, (16/lb for the decaf).  We will be able to accept cash or cheques.

We will have 5 varieties available.From Shuswap Coffee Company website:
We are a family owned and operated specialty roaster. All our coffee is roasted in small batches, in beautiful Salmon Arm, British Columbia. We are Certified Organic, Licensed Fairtrade and roast only Arabica Coffee. We support women's cooperatives, Café Femenino, in Central/South America, with 80% of our beans coming from these growers. Our pay-it-forward fund supports women and families in their community and in our own.
Here is the link to the website if you would like details on the company (also it is shade grown thus bird friendly):
