Volunteers and businesses, thanks for backing 9C

Editor:

The Athletic Committee of the Havre Area Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Havre High School and District 9C, would like to extend a sincere thank-you to the 30-plus volunteers who worked the recent Boys and Girls District Basketball Tournament at Havre High School, Feb. 15 to 18.

The Chamber's Athletic Committee along with Chamber staff secures volunteers to work the tournament, along with recruiting 19 sponsors to help host the hospitality room for tournament officials, school administration and coaches to enjoy. Thank you, Scharfe, Kato & Co .; Clausen & Sons; Credit Bureau of Havre; Independence Bank; Koefod Agency; Triangle Communications; Hill County Electric; Havre Ford; Devon; Western Drug; Havre Holiday Village Mall; Galusha Higgins Galusha; Tire Rama; MSU-Northern Foundation; Coca-Cola Refreshments; Culligan; Wolder's; E-Z Mart; and Northern Montana Hospital for your sponsorship.

A heartfelt thank-you goes to all the volunteers that helped to make the 9-C District Basketball Tournament a huge success. A big thank-you to the committee for its help and a huge thank-you to Shari Robinson for securing the volunteers and being at the tournament trouble shooting where needed.

The goal of the Athletic Committee is to promote and support athletic events that in turn help to stimulate the local economy. Without this help from the community, events such as the 9C tournament would not be able to take place. The committee greatly appreciates the time you shared and your commitment to help.
