    2. We will book several tables at the upcoming “1st Annual Great Russell Pay it Forward Trivia” event being put on by Russell Trivia Services.  Admission price is a minimum donation of $10 with proceeds going to a mystery benefactor. In the words of Russell Trivia “The funds raised this year will benefit EVERYONE in our Township. The mystery benefactor must remain a surprise but TRUST US .. it's good!”
    3. If you haven’t had the chance to experience a Russell Trivia night, Russell Trivia puts on a good evening.  On top of the 100 general knowledge trivia questions, there will be a raffle for a bunch of gift certificates, food, drinks and music.  Normally there would be silent and live auctions but there will be none this evening which should give us time between rounds to talk.
    4. We have about 6 people who showed interest in this so far which is one table.  I would like to get a chance to know more of the parents so please sign up. It would be great to have at least another 12.  Please also let me know if you will be bringing guests or significant others so I can reserve enough space.
    5. If you are interested, please let me know ASAP as tables fill up fast.  chair@5cycloneaircadets.ca
