Soccer Shoot News – July 2010

The Bismarck-Mandan Elks Lodge held their annual Elks Girls Soccer Shoot contest on May 22, 2010 at Cottonwood Park. The contest was held on the same day as the Bismarck Soccer League Jamboree. The weather was beautiful, except for some wind, and about 300 girls competed in the contest.

Thanks to the following businesses for donating their products and services: Scheels Sports for inflating all the soccer balls, the Bismarck Soccer League and Domino’s for the pizza, and the Bismarck-Mandan Elks for pop and water.

Also, many thanks to the following great volunteers: Nate Palczewski, Terry Friesz, Laure Lukyx, Alex Kelsch, Tom Kelsch, Cassandra Kelsch, Paula Amelsberg, Terry Diekman, Vi Montgomery, George Waliser, Rick and Colby Debolt, Terry Lincoln, Steve Vaughan, Tiffany Johnson, Bernie Vinje, Rod and Rachelle Bakken, Andrea and Paul Frank, Jason Weidman and members of the Mandan High School Swim Team: Tom Johnson, Morgan Quintus, Kali Johnson, Carlie Borchers, Rachel Ford, and Ashley Doll.

If I have missed anybody, please accept my apology and thank you for helping with this worthy project.
