OMBAC SOCIAL - FLIP CUP TOURNAMENT Feb 26th at 8pm

Hey Ladies,
Our first social/fundraiser of the year is this Saturday at 8pm at The Local in downtown. What we need from you:
   - Word of Mouth: Tell your friends, spread the word. The more teams
      entered the more $ we make.
   - Volunteers: We actually work the tournament, but it's not work-work,
      it's fun-work. We need people to volunteer to be referees, beer
      runners and score keepers.
   - General Attendance and Good Cheer: I'd like to know what you look
      like without a cap on! Come on down and join the fun!
