Ice Cream Social & "Splash the Staff"

Our Mission:
Join us on Thursday, September 4th at 2:00 in the Community Room for an ice cream social! Ice cream, toppings and refreshments will be provided.
Along with the ice cream social, we are going to participate in the ALS ice bucket challenge!!! YOU might get to ‘splash’ an SFP staff member!
How it works:
Raffle tickets are $.50 each or 3 for $1.00, tickets available in the Office and the Computer Training Center. During the ice cream social, you’ll put your ticket in the container for the person you’d like to dump ice on. Tickets will then be drawn to see who gets to dump the ice! There are 5 staff members, so there will be 5 winners! Staff members will be donating to the ALS foundation, your raffle ticket proceeds will benefit the Computer Training Center.

Look at all the people that attended!

Getting ready for the ice bucket challenge! The containers hold raffle tickets for each staff person. Notice the large one on the right? That's Gail's!!! :)
