'Spaghetti Moms"

Prior to every football game the 'Spaghetti Moms' prepare a meal for all the Varsity football players, coaches, and additional players dressing down for the game. We prepare the meal in the home economics kitchen at the High School. The meal consists of spaghetti, French bread, bananas, and lots of home-made cookies.

We are looking for parents who are interested in being a part of our regular 'spaghetti team' , who can take responsibility for any number of items that need picked up and brought to the school, help prepare the meal, etc. A list of duties and timelines are enclosed.

The time commitment is every Friday, throughout the season, from about 3:00-4:00. We feed the boys for both home and away games.

If you are interested in helping us this season, we'd love to have you! Please contact:

Julie Rayburn @ 503-551-8532  or email @ jeweleer@comcast.net
 

We'll have a planning meeting early August, to determine who can take on which weekly responsibilities, secure donations, etc.

It's a great way to get to know other parents, and interact with the coaches and players.
