Happy New Year! The Midnight Riders Annual General Meeting will take place on February 6th at 11am. Join us as we elect officers, recap 2021, and discuss plans for 2022. This year’s meeting will take place over Zoom. The link will be available via the Midnight Riders Member Portal.
Everyone’s favorite pun-based cooking challenge is back! Join us in Lot 4C for the return of Soupah Revs.
HOW IT WORKS: Bring non-perishable food items or a $5 donation for Interfaith Human Services of Putnam, and we’ll trade your donation for a cup and spoon. This will occur at our Welcome Tent in Lot 4C. After sampling all of the delicious soups, vote for your favorite, and the soup cook with the most votes will win the coveted Golden Ladle! Entering a soup in the competition is limited to Midnight Riders members only, but all are welcome to sample the soups and vote.
———————————————————————————————————
Items in continuous need by IHSP clients are: dry cereal, peanut butter, jelly, rice, canned or instant mashed potatoes, canned fruit, baked beans, vegetables, canned meats and tuna, soup, pasta and pasta sauce, crackers and juice. Personal care items such as shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes (individually wrapped), toilet paper and deodorant are also needed.
Our second ever Clean Sheets for Clean Sheets campaign built on the success of our inaugural effort, having raised $2,750 for the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless’ “A Bed For Every Child” initiative. With the 2021 MLS season kicking off, it’s our hope that we can pick up where we left off to make this year’s program even bigger and better than ever.
For those of you new to the program, here’s a quick summary:
Step 1. You pledge to donate a certain amount to the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless for each clean sheet (game with zero goals against) that the Revs keep in 2021.
Step 2. You choose whether you want to fulfill that pledge on a rolling per-game basis or as a lump sum at the completion of the season.
Step 3. The Revs have a great year and keep many, many clean sheets.
Step 4. We collect all of the pledged donations and help under-privileged kids in Massachusetts get fully furnished beds, complete with pillows, linens, and stuffed animals.
And that’s it!
We hope you’ll join us in this season-long program. Please fill out the form below to sign up!
