Dear Fellow Van Horn Falcon:

This Friday, October 31 (Halloween!), 810 WHB's "Between the Lines" with
Kevin Keitzman and Todd Leabo will broadcast from Curt's Famous Meats
(a.k.a., Curt's Market), 10101 East Truman Road, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
The broadcast will be a fundraiser for athletics at the NEW Van Horn High
School.

Curt's will be offering both meal and tailgate specials at the event (please
see attachment), and cash donations will be accepted for the Athletic
Department. Van Horn athletes, coaches, cheerleaders, and band are expected
to appear.

Make your plans now to drop by Curt's Halloween afternoon! Then head to
Independence All-School Stadium (at William Chrisman) for Van Horn's 2008
football season finale, a 7:00 p.m. Halloween game versus the Lathrop Mules.
