DENMON Staff correspondent Parents of the Dallas Senior High School Soccer Team are continuing to raise funds to send the team to Glasgow, Scotland, in August. It was a year ago that the deci- sion was made that 18 members of the varsity team would travel to Scotland and stay at the University of Stratheyde, under the supervision of some of the parents and the high school soccer coach, John McCaf- ferty. The cost for each boy would be $1,000 or, at that time, $18,000. Since that time, however, some of the plans have changed. There will be 30 boys making the trip instead of 18 and the group will spend seven days in Scotland and the final three days in London. The change in the number of boys going on the trip to Scotland increased the amount needed to $30,000 instead of $18,000. Since events held in the past year » included an indoor clinic, flea market bazaar and a golf tourna- ment which netted to-date $8,000, parents and the boys, who are helping in some capacities, must raise $22,000 in the next six months. A soccer clinic will be conducted from Feb. 27 through April 4 for children from ages six through 12. Gloria Miller is chairperson of a Craft Show and Sale, April 19, at Dallas Senior High School. Table space will be available for all per- sons interested in exhibiting and or selling their items. Space may be reserved by calling Gloria Miller (675-3243). A golf tournament will be held in late spring or early summer with the date and chairmen to be announced in the near future. Other events include skating par- ties, car washes, hoagie sales, as well as events to be planned at a meeting scheduled for all parents, the near future, in order to raise the $22,000 necessary to underwrite the trip.
