NRAB Meeting Shorts… Car Raffle sales are underway . Bob Serpentini Chevrolet has once again graciously do-nated a 2015 Chevy Cruze. Second place is a 60" TV, and third place is a year's supply of Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. This year only 2,000 tickets will be sold and each ticket will cost $20. The drawing will be held at halftime of the boys varsity basketball game on 2/20/15. Every HS athlete will be asked to sell 2 tickets and each MS athlete 1 tick-et. Dawn Filippi, Kathy Lineweaver and Maria Rowlett head the Car Raffle committee. Please continue to use the new NRAB website: www.northroyaltonathletics.com, like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @NRAthletics. If you're looking for "Bear Wear" you can use the link on the NRAB home page to order your merchandise online. NRAB currently has 240 members. Membership applications are available on our web site or through your winter team reps or coach. Mark your calendars for the Night at the Races on Saturday, March 28, 2015. The word is out that is going to be bigger and better than last year, and if you were there last year you know how great it was! Horses will be available for purchase beginning in December. As always, volunteers are needed to help.
