Nautica Charity Poker - Cleveland Flats - March 1-4 - HUGE SUCCESS

Thanks for all your help!
Huge thanks to everyone who helped this year. Just to give you an idea of how big an effort this was, we had 141 different registered volunteers who worked a combined time of about 1200 hours. Moms and dads, school administrators and teachers, people from the Rec and Music Lovers, a handful of very experienced Nautica regulars, and all sorts of people from within and outside the community pitched in to pull this off. It was an eclectic group for sure, one that worked really hard and did an outstanding job. Thanks to your help, we were able to raise over $38,000 for the kids in the school district.



Dads' Club Approves $22.5K for High School Marching Band Uniforms
Believe it or not, marching band uniforms are expensive. Worse, the current ones are falling apart. The cost of purchasing a new set of uniforms for the marching band will be $45 thousand. Good news is these last for about 20 years. At our March members meeting, we approved a match for half the funds needed to purchase new uniforms, making the effort to get new uniforms for next year a real possibility. Look for them next year.

UPDATE - Chagrin Falls High School Band to Play National Anthem at Progressive Field, Thursday September 20, 2012
The Dads' Club wants to recognize the students in the marching band. Thanks to the Cleveland Indians, we were able to secure an anthem spot for them this fall. The students will look great in their new uniforms. 11:50 AM performance for a 12:05 PM game start.





Thanks to all who came to this year's Dinner Dance and especially all our donors and supporters who made it possible. Special thanks to our platinum sponsor Fifth Third Bank for sponsoring this. The dance this year was a huge success. Check out our couples and group photos taken by Tim Driscoll of TigerEye Imaging:

Gurney Says "Thank You" for the iPads

The Dads' Club funded a request to turn a planned iPod Touch lab into an iPad lab, the first one to be put into operation at the school. Here at Dads' Club central, we've been receiving lots of thank you notes from the kids, pictures, and even a movie thanking the Dads' Club for the iPads. Check these out.

Walk to School Day - Friday, 10/7 - Riverside Park

The Dads' Club donated and helped serve 500 smoothies for the Safe Routes Chagrin Falls Walk to School Day for the Intermediate School students. We also ran a tug-o-war event and gave small prizes out to the Gurney kids who happened to get roped into this event with their older siblings (we had a few left over from the canceled picnic). Thanks to all who helped out. Thanks also to Marti DeSantis, Food Service Supervisor, for envisioning and coordinating this.
