Pancake Breakfast
Sunday April 25th
Event Coordinator: Courtney Hack   630-858-0100    chack@ryallymca.org

Pancake lovers unite!

How can you get a better deal than this: All the pancake and sausages you can eat, and no mess to clean up.

Tickets:
Family $15 in advance $18 at the door
Individual: $5 in advance $8 at the door

There will be a silent auction and a bike raffle
as well.

It is requested that each tribe contribute $10 towards the cost of the bicycles

We ask that you visit the establishments you frequent and ask for a small donation to the

silent auction as well as placing a poster in their window.

One idea is for Tribes to build a basket, based on a theme for the auction.

This is the second YMCA major fundraiser that our organization runs so please invite your neighbors and friends. After all who doesn't like a good pancake breakfast!




Museum Sleepover
Coordinator: Wayne Kriemelmeyer

Very good news. We have planned a second Shedd sleepover on April 9th. We are guessing that we will have about 100-150 folks participating in this sleepover, although we can have up to 300 spots at this point. The cost is $60 per person and it includes parking. Please let Wayne know if you are interested and approximately how many will likely go from your tribe because he needs to get them a down payment to reserve our spots. (We will NOT be able to switch tribes from the March 19th date to this one.). You must be registered in the program to attend this event.
