WILLIAMS – February 1 is Super Bowl Sunday. This date will settle something very important. Who will win the Super Bowl Squares game in Williams.
Parents That Care is holding a Super Bowl Squares game to benefit the Senior Grad Night for 2015. The rules are based on the Football Squares game. Squares are $20 each and $1000 will be awarded to the winner. Only 100 squares will be available for purchase. Squares can be purchased at Sun Mountain Properties across the street from City Hall on First Street.
While you are there, you might consider picking up a blanket being sold for $40 each to benefit the cause.
Graduation night is May 22. Parents That Care started after a tragic accident that took the life of a graduating student several years ago. The money collected is used to provide a safe alternative for the students to celebrate a new phase in their life.
Even if one does not wish to purchase a blanket or square, any donations are gratefully accepted for the cause.
Oh and we’ll find out which team will be champions for 2015 between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots. If you’re interested in that sort of thing.
