The Star Tribune has offered a fundraising opportunity to do Ad

The Star Tribune has offered a fundraising opportunity to do Ad stuffing of the Sunday paper at the Star Tribune paper depot.  This event takes place on Saturdays typically from 12:30-2:30 depending on the arrival of the paper.  This is always during the summer months, select Saturdays and other “holiday” days. 

During the season, each team will be designated 2 specific Saturdays  as a team obligation and other days will be open to the families to help pay down their bills.  The amount earned day will be split between the families that participated in the ad stuffing that day.  If you are interested, please contact a board member.

 Look here for future opportunities.

In an effort to better provide value to the Jefferson and Kennedy Hockey Associations the Board of Directors of the Bloomington Amateur Hockey Association (BAHA) has been working to redefine our mission and reconfigure our functions.  BAHA has a new website portal located at http://BloomingtonHockey.com. Here you will see our newly adopted mission and vision statements and will be able to view progress made on our goals as the year progresses. 

As one of our core functions, the BAHA Concession Stand supports youth hockey in Bloomington by returning profits to the Jefferson and Kenney Youth Hockey Associations.  It is also an opportunity for all Bloomington hockey families to earn credit toward lowering their hockey bills.  Workers in the concession stand receive a $10 per hour ice credit for volunteering in the stand.  The credits earned from April through September are paid out to Jefferson and Kennedy in October.  Credits earned October through March are paid out monthly by the 10^th of the following month.  Please refer to the BAHA website for general information and guidelines on the concession stand.  Shifts at the Concession Stand are available to all Bloomington Hockey Families and are scheduled through the DIBS tab on the BAHA Website.

There will be a meeting for all concession workers to learn how to operate the new cash registers and on-line sign up for concession shifts on Thursday , September 30 at 7:00 pm or Sunday, October 3 at 1:00 pm.  All concession stand workers must attend one of these sessions before they can sign up to work shifts.  If you are interested in training to work at the concession stands or, to find out more information about training, please contact Teresa Cole at: tlcolemn@comcast.net.  If you have any questions about the concession stand, please talk to any of the managers or openers.

We continue our efforts to strengthen the other core functions of BAHA; our Advertising business at the Bloomington Ice Garden and our Tournaments. We will communicate further changes and opportunities that bring value to both the Kennedy and Jefferson Hockey Associations and their member families. If you have questions please feel free to contact any of us.
