karenmeal 0 #1 July 4, 2008 Hey folks, As a fundraiser for relay for life, we'll be playing SLOSHBALL FOR LIFE at Mt. Vernon this upcoming July 5. As we all know in Western Washington, July 5 is the first day of summer. So come on out, do some jumps earlier in the day and then join our sloshball game at around 6:00. It will cost $10 to play sloshball, with money going to relay for life after the cost of the Keg is covered. You will be welcome to donate more money if you would like. I'll also be putting on a BBQ (potato salad, burgers, hot dogs, cupcakes..) which will be $10 as well. So come on out to the brand new Interstate Skydivers Club and see the new facilities located at Mt. Vernon, WA at Barker field. We have a huge firepit, and an indoor hangout spot with couches and a spot to play videos. Hope to see a bunch of folks out there! -Karen e-mail alexank6@cc.wwu.edu with any questions!

karenmeal 0 #2 July 4, 2008 FYI... Here is how sloshball is played: It's like softball except that a whiffle ball and big huge plastic bat are used. A keg is placed at second base and players who get to second base must chug a beer (or root beer) before proceeding to third base. Up to three players are allowed at second base, so you get a bit of time to drink your beer. A player can be out by someone catching a ball, four strikes (c'mon, you'll be buzzed), being hit by the whiffle ball below the waist, or if you pass out. At any point in the game, you are allowed to take a quick run out to second base to get a beer. -Karen "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
