Many events still ahead for CI Corporate Games teams

We’re in the final weeks of Corporate Games competition and we’re doing great! High-fives and big thanks to CI Teams who participated in Horseshoes, Soccer, Team Tennis/Singles, and 9-ball Billiards last week.

  • Miniature Golf plays tonight, 8:30 p.m. at Golf N’Stuff – good luck!
  • Weekend May 3 – Good luck to Flag Football, Bowling, MB2 Kart Racing and Team Tennis/Doubles teams.
  • Week May 5 – Good luck to teams playing Golf, Dominoes, Texas Hold’Em, Spades and Bean-Bag-Toss/Cydcor fundraiser. At this time, Tug-of-War and Sandcastles may be forfeited unless we can recruit more people. CI will also participate in the Tee Shirt design and Photography contests.

We can’t say thank you enough to everyone who signed up, helped form teams & practices and cheered us on – it takes a village! Communications & Marketing will send out updates over the summer and hopefully form teams that can practice year-round in preparation for the 2015 Corporate Games!
