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.
