MPMHA Hockey Dads 2013/14 NHL

Hockey Pool

Can you believe it?! It's time for NHL Hockey again!! Seems like only yesterday the Black Hawks beat my beloved Bruins in the final. This means it's time for the next installment of the Hockey Dads Hockey Pool!

The Hockey Dads are inviting you to register for our hockey pool for the upcoming, 2013-2014 season. The fee is still only $10 and you can enter as many times as you wish.

These pools are offered to enable the Hockey Dads to make generous donations to MPMHA each and every year in order to keep registration costs down as well as to sponsor tournaments. So please enter and have some fun being your own NHL General Manager, while at the same time helping out the kids of MPMHA.

The pool stats will be accessible at www.thehockeypool.com each day.

The password will be "hockeydads".

We are having a Dance !!

Introducing our newest campaign: Park the Car, It's Not that Far!

It's designed to encourage parents to increase their children's physical activity levels by walking, biking, in-line skating, or skateboarding to and from places that are short distances away. Find tips, tools, posters and more, all designed for sharing!

Sobey's GIFT CARD PROGRAM -

PAY FOR ACTIVITIES

The Sobeys Gift CARD Program is offered to support member clubs and associations of the Mount Pearl Alliance.

All you have to do is purchase Sobeys Gift Cards from the Sport Alliance and we will put 4% of what you purchase in your child's sport account. Then, upon your request we will send the money available in your child's account to pay for sport fees. These certificates cost dollar for dollar. When you pick up $100 worth of cards, you will pay $100.

An example of what this can do for you is if you spend $100 a week on groceries, you will earn $208 per year for your child's sport(s). Multiply this by family, friends, co-workers, etc. and it can easily turn into $800 or $1000 per year.
These gift cards can be used at any Sobeys, Foodland, Price Chopper,across Newfoundland and they are available in denominations of $100 and $50.

We are open 9-5 pm Monday - Friday
Closed 12-1 pm for lunch and we are open until 6 pm on Thursday.
We are located in the Glacier in Mount Pearl
Please call Karen for more details @748-6489 or email kfinn@mountpearl.ca
