Congrats to Chetana Guthikonda on her 2nd place finish!!!!

EFOF

EFOF has done so much for our team this year.  They have subsidized trip cost for the traveling portion of the season, they have paid for consulting time with Bob Ickes for the Oratory students, and they plan and facilitate the banquet at the end of the year. 

This season we have not had as many families support EFOF and as we are looking ahead we want to invite Bob to return next fall to work with Orators and travel a few times in the fall, but we won't be able to do that if we don't support the booster club. 

Please consider doing this as it helps every child on the team.  If you have questions please feel free to email the speech account

speech.edina@gmail.com

or our EFOF representative

Below is the link to the PDF for the EFOF form.  You will need to print it out and either return it to practice or mail it to our treasurer.  Thank you
