Hi Soccer fans, ghouls, goblins. and other spirited individuals,
First - an update on the repairs to Café 58...
Thanks to the generosity of one of the parents of our Region, we should
have all of the repairs for Cafe 58 finished on Friday, so we will be OPEN FOR BUSINESS
as usual on Saturday morning starting at 7:00am for breakfast. The
bathrooms should be open as well but we will still have CLEAN
porta-potties located next to our big green equipment storage bin - they
will have a sticker on them saying "AYSO". Thank you to everyone who
has supported us through your time, donations, purchases and patience
during the last three weeks.
Second - Thank you to those
who have signed up, and we still need lots of volunteers in the
afternoon for ALL division day shifts (we only have 1 person signed up
from 2:15 to the end of the day and we need 8). Please sign up at the link below, even if it is not your Division Day - enough said... https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080b4eacaf2da2f85-110219
Third - Food news
- Breakfast - Egg sandwiches (with or without meat), pancakes, oatmeal,
donuts, grilled cheese, COFFEE, etc... Lunch starting around 10:30am
includes hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, chili (with or without
meat). Iced tea (brewed unsweetened tropical ice tea) is only $3 for a
32oz cup and gets RAVE REVIEWS!!! By the way, we now accept Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, major debit and credit cards, good old-fashioned cash and Snack Bar Bucks (these are great for the team snacks and you get 11 bucks for only $10 - an instant $1 saving!!!).
Fourth (and last) - Scholarship fundraising update
- As of last week, we have raised through your purchases at Cafe 58
nearly $8,000 in funds to support our scholarship program - these funds
enable families have have their kids play soccer when they can't afford
it. Our goal this season is $15,000, but with one weekend cancelled and
only 4 full weeks left, we will all need to press hard to meet the
goal. Since we are all volunteers, the net proceeds of the food and
drinks that are sold at Cafe 58 go to support these scholarships, so
please do your part to help the kids - hey we all have to eat, so you
might as well do it to support a good cause!! To see an update on our
Scholarship fundraising progress, please go to this link on our website:

As
always, we want to thank our Café 58 sponsors again: Umpqua Oats,
Central Valley Builders Supply and Groundwork Coffee for supporting our
community with their VERY generous donations each week.
Lastly,
enjoy your games on Saturday, keep hydrated (it's going to be hot
again), and let's all have a safe, fair and fun day. Oh, and if you
haven't figured it out yet, please come to Café 58 to support our
program.
