2003 Theme Baskets
Everybody mark your calendars now and watch out for your invitation
to the Heritage Soccer Club "Black & Gold Ball." The event is for adults
only on Saturday, November 8 at the Contra Costa Country Club. Dinner and
dancing will highlight the evening, and silent auction items in all price
ranges will be available.
Each team should seek a representative who will oversee the collection of
the items. All baskets should be returned wrapped and ready to go. This
includes cellophane wrap and a basket or other item to carry everything in
that fits your theme.
ALL COMPLETED BASKETS SHOULD BE TURNED IN BY NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2.
