Maybe he'll buy a painting!

Make sure to Bring your artwork into the office no later then July 12th!
Donations of food and drinks the night of the reception would be awesome!!!

We've been Challenged by this Chick

Hello Disney,

If I have not already done this, I'm declaring war on all of you.
Basketball war that is, I just moved into a new apartment and it has a basketball court. So with not wasting anything in these tough economic times, we should play some b-ball.

15 games, 8weeks, and a bracket tournament at the end.

2 games will be played a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays 6pm @ 884 Buttercup Rd. Carlsbad, CA 92011

Games will start the week of July 6th and go through August 24th

The end of season tournament will be 5 games of single elimination bracket to find the winner. (Prize for winning team!)


What I need from you is to find at least 5 players (that makes up a basketball team) and a couple extra people as backups for each of your parks. Also you need to come up with an awesome team name, and if your cool enough t-shirts....or at least a team color!

Also my new place has a heated pool and jacuzzi if you guys want to bring your swim suits along and relax after the games.

You got any questions email/call me, lets make this summer rock!

P.S. Bring it
