VII. Sports
Hey OYFA!
We have good news and bad news. The bad news is that we won't be able to play a flag football tournament with CSA and VSA because none of us have any dates called. The good news is that the we have found a location for the Pacquaio-Weather fight. We will be watching the fight at Wash 2! After receiving the responses from the Google doc we have decided that it will be a $5 charge for everyone. That should be enough to cover the pay-per-view cost and any leftover funds will go towards buying food and drinks for people watching. Just in case you don't see this we will also be posting on the OYFA Facebook page, so be on the lookout! Also, get hyped for the End-of-the-Year picnic! More details to come!
