We have some wonderful sponsors for our programs and I want you all to know that many of our specials events would not be possible without these great community partners. One in particular has stepped forward time and time again and we want to thank them publicly for their support.
Buffalo Wild Wings of Howell is an invaluable and excellent partner for most if not all of our programs. They have stepped forward at the Melon Run each and every year; they help us plan and organize a fundraiser that involves our travel and excursion program to see the Tigers and hopefully in the very near future - the Red Wings and the Lions! They are also stepping forward this year and are supporting our Teen Center. On Monday, October 3 from 11 a.m. - midnight - we hope to see everyone over at Buffalo Wild Wings in Howell. Twenty percent (20%) of total sales (dine-in or carryout) which are accompanied by the coupon in this e-mail will go to support the great programs of the Howell Teen Center. Come have a wing or two...you'll be supporting a great sponsor and a great teen program.
P.S. If you like what you see, please take a minute to to your friends, family, and other parks and recreation enthusiasts and encourage them to subscribe by joining our mailing list! News and information from the Howell Area Parks & Recreation Authority will be forwarded to you each and every Wednesday.
