Northern Lights SADD

I have been in touch with Sean McCoy from the Minnesota Swarm indoor lacrosse league. They have some home games coming up in April, and he is eager to work with SADD in scheduling an event that coincides with one of their games, most likely their last home game on Saturday, April 18.

The Swarm plays their games at the Xcel Center in St. Paul, and Sean said he could get us a meeting room so that we can have a networking session prior to the game. Promotional opportunities for SADD at the game depend upon how many people we can get there, hence how many tickets we purchase.

As far as I’m concerned, the primary reason for doing this isn’t so much for promotion as it is a chance to network and take in a fun game while we’re at it. (I may be wrong, but I doubt there would be a whole lot of potential SADD members in the audience.) I would love to be able to bring some of our Northern Lights Advisory Board members down there, show our new NL SADD presentation video, talk about programming, exchange a lot of ideas regarding what various SADD chapters are doing, try to put some plans together for joint events in the fall, and discuss fundraising possibilities that could result in regional fall conferences and possibly a statewide MN SADD conference.

Please email me right away if this is something you and your chapter members are interested in. You can check out the Swarm’s web site, www.mnswarm.com to check out information on the team and ticket prices. If I remember right, the cheap seats are $10 each. If there is substantial interest, I would like one or two Metro area SADD advisors to volunteer to work with me on making plans.

We’re up for it if you are. Just let me know ASAP, okay?

If we are going to make this work, I would need to know by the end of this week, April 3.
