yep! Summer Events - Kickball and More


Although the weather might not fully indicate that summer has arrived, we are in the final stages of planning several yep! events for the summer.

On August 22nd, yep! will host our sixth annual Kickball Tournament. If you have not played Kickball since grade school - the tournament is a great way to have fun and help yep! raise funds for two local charities.(Erie Arts Museum Youth Art Fund and KaleidAScope) The event will take place on August 22nd at the Harborcreek Community Park and will start at 8:00 AM. Each team - of 12 to 16 players - will play in a minimum of three games during the tournament. In the past, teams have developed creative names and outfits to show their spirit and determination to win the title of kickball champions.

Registration is $40.00 per person ($35.00 for yep! members) and can be completed online at www.yepkickball.org. The cost includes breakfast, lunch, and an afterparty Downtown once the tournament is completed. If you have any addtional questions, please e-mail Steve Reichard or visit www.yepkickball.org. Sponsorships are still available for corporations and organizations that would like to participate.

Yep! is also coordinating volunteers to staff the Children's Area during Discover Presque Isle. Volunteers are asked to work one hour (or more) shifts during the July 25th and 26th event. (From 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM) For more information on how you can help, contact Molly Reichard.

Finally, we are hosting a First Time Home Buyer seminar on July 20th. The event will be held at BrewErie at 6:00 PM and is open to yep! members and the general public. Local housing experts will discuss the impact of the first time home buyer credit and other strategies to purchase a home.

RSVPs are required and can be made by completing the form located here.

We are working on several events for the Fall and 2010 and I will post more information about them as it becomes availalable.

See you at the next event!
