Parents Club Week 2 Newsletter
The following newsletter was sent out to Parents Club members today:
Dear Gettysburg College Football and Cheerleading Parents,
Following an action packed game and convincing victory against Lebanon Valley College, the 2007 Bullets travel to Hampden-Sydney College. Hampden-Sydney will be looking to avenge a 17-16 opening game home loss to Johns Hopkins as well as last years game 2 loss at Gettysburg.
DIRECTIONS / VENUE: Directions to Hampden-Sydney are located at: http://www.hsc.edu/visitors/ HSC, at least in the past, has not charged an admission fee to the game but does charge a few dollars to each car parking for the game on the campus.
ACCOMODATIONS: A list of nearby hotels are listed on the Hampden-Sydney Website: http://www2.hsc.edu/visitors/accomodations.html
Here is some information regarding a place to stay in Virginia and a restaurant to eat at.
This Hotel is 10 min. from the college:
Hampton Inn in Farmville
300 Sunchase Blvd.
Farmville, VA 23901
434-392-8826
http://www.farmvillehampton.com/
This is a good restaurant in the area
Charley's Waterfront Cafe
201 Mill St. #B
Farmville, VA 23901
434-392-1566
They take reservations if you have 8 people or more.
TAILGATING NOTES: As with all away games, all tailgating this weekend is 100% “bring your own.” If you can make it early enough to tailgate with other GC families, after you enter the campus continue past the stadium and make two left turns to the lower parking area (toward the visitors stands) and look for the car flags from other GC families attending the game. It’s pretty tough to get together there.
LAST SATURDAY’S TAILGATE: Thank you all for the great start to this season’s Tailgates – especially to the Junior and Senior parents who contributed to “pot luck” food for all. Thanks also to everyone who helped with the set-up, clean-up, music, 50-50 raffle, etc. The tailgates would not be successful if it wasn’t for your help! Now that our new members have seen how things can be, we are hoping to carry through with this strong start. Please note, the post-game tailgate is meant to feed the players and cheerleaders first We ask that all parents please refrain from helping themselves to the buffet until the players and cheerleaders have had a chance to go through the line. Also another reminder, the soda and water in the coolers is provided for the players and cheerleaders only! Please be sure to bring enough beverages for yourself and your guests.
VOLUNTEERS: We are hoping more folks will help out with merchandise sales, clean- up and food contributions at the next home Tailgate (September 22) - Sophomore families are specifically assigned, but all are encouraged to contribute some food or drinks (a potluck item to serve 10 –15 people is suggested).
