Introducing the 2009 Scholarship Socials

The Scholarship Committee is hosting two great socials this year. The events raise money for student scholarships while providing post-session events for Conference delegates. What could be better than fun activities that benefit the Park and Recreation leaders of tomorrow? Read on for details about this year's socials.

Bowling for Students

The Bowling for Students social event will be held at the Ford Lanes Bowling Alley on Tuesday, February 3. Wear your favorite college apparel, and enjoy two games of bowling, one "crazy" and one normal. Be sure to check out the billiards or darts while eating unlimited chips and salsa. An exclusive bar area will be open only to social attendees, with 2 rounds of drinks on the house! This social is only $15, or you may also buy tickets to both social events for a package rate of $25. Complimentary shuttle buses will transport delegates to and from the Hyatt throughout the evening, beginning at 8 p.m.

Practicing What We Preach

On Wednesday, February 4, all Conference delegates are invited to the Dearborn Recreation Center to "Practice What We Preach" as Recreation professionals. Delegates will have the opportunity to participate in variety of activities including an inflatable obstacle course, DJ's and dancing, a giant twister tournament and interactive games. Also, don't miss the 2nd Annual MRPA Conference Dodgeball Tournament, starting at 10 p.m. during the social. Interested parties may sign up teams in advance, but walk-in participation encouraged as well! The cost is $25/5 person team in advance, $30/team at the door. Independents are also welcome and will be placed on teams. Winning teams will receive prizes, and all players will receive a team photo. A complimentary shuttle will run between the Hyatt and the social throughout the evening, beginning at 8 p.m. and drinks and snacks will be provided. As with Bowling for students, the price of this social is $15, but tickets for both socials can be purchased for $25 total.
