FUNDRAISING is an important aspect of the Palouse Youth Hockey Association.  The driving force behind PYHA's fundraising, is the desire to ensure that all children have the opportunity to play and we have never turned a child away!

If you would like to be a corporate sponsor and sponsor one of the five divisions, support a specific need or provide a scholarship for a child this season, please contact, Brant Schroeder at:  brant@magmag.biz

MOSCOW RENAISSANCE FAIR MAY 1-2, 2010 - THANK YOU!

Sung to the melody of Gilligan's Island:

"...Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a lot of work, that started from a church kitchen and ended at a park...

The weather started getting rough, the crowds all stayed in doors, if not for the courage of the volunteers, the chili would be lost, the chili would be lost...

No sun, just rain and wind and mud for two long days of work, if not for the courage of the volunteers, the chili would be lost, the chili would be lost...

So this is the list of our volunteers, so many gave their time, they surely made the best of things and shared the PYHA spirit!"

Cartridge World's Recycle Rewards Program!

Bring your empty inkjet and laser cartridges to the collection bin at the Palouse Ice Rink, located at 1021 Harold Avenue on the Latah County Fairgrounds to help raise money for PYHA's programs.  Cash is paid for most brands including HP, Dell, Lexmark, Brother, Cannon, Cartridge World, and Epson.

PYHA receives:
$1 per ink cartridge
$3 per toner cartridge

Did you know that it takes about a gallon of oil to make a new laser cartridge?

In North America alone, over 350 million cartridges per year are discarded in our landfills and that number increases annually!

Please contact Susan: sjaehunt@yahoo.com if you or someone you know would like to arrange to receive a PYHA collection bin at your place of work.  Cartridge World, located in Pullman, WA will empty your bin at your request.
