ZM Wrestling has chance to earn $2500 grant from Cargill! We need your Likes!

This fall, Seth Beyer and his work colleagues donated over 55 hours of work and supplies to help complete our new wrestling room.  Seth has entered this project into a contest and we need your help at a chance to earn $2500 for the ZM Wrestling program courtesy of Cargill!

Here is the most important part: we need you to like the photo Seth has posted on the Cargill Cares Facebook page.  CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK.

You can also like the photo as shared on the ZM Wrestling Facebook timeline.  It is important to like the photo, not just the shared post.

Deadline for the contest is Thursday, December 5 at 12:00 noon CST.  So don’t wait!

As part of International Volunteer Day, December 5, Cargill will honor its volunteers and present three Cargill Cares Volunteer Awards (with a US$2,500 charitable grant).  The top three photos that receive the most likes on a photo they post to the new Cargill Cares Facebook page will each win a Cargill Cares Volunteer Award.

Let’s be in the top 3!  Please spread the word!

Shhhhh…..ZM wrestlers text Link the following….

JH/HS Wrestling PARENTS: Please do not relay this message to your wrestler. This message is to be found by your wrestler on his own time and effort.  

7th-12th grade WRESTLERS: Please text me by Thursday, Nov 14th, by 8:00 p.m. the following sentence ‘I am a champion….your name’

WRESTLERS: My phone number is: 507-358-1344. If you do not have a phone borrow a parents or relatives. If you borrow another wrestlers phone DO NOT TELL HIM WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND ERASE YOUR MESSAGE WHEN YOU ARE DONE.

WRESTLERS: This is confidential, do not tell any other wrestler that they are suppose to text me. If you do, you are hurting your team by cheating. Your teammates should have received the same info you did and should be texting me just as you are. I am very proud of every wrestler but I’m especially proud of you right now for reading this and following instruction and communication! Be proud of yourself, you have started the year off in a great way and have learned a skill that will help you the rest of your life!

FYI, we are working on communication, following through with instructions, and integrity with this group. These kids have many qualities but there are a few areas they need to work on as individuals and as a team. When we break through these barriers, their strengths of togetherness, hard work, dedication, technique, strength, and belief, will certainly blend together for a successful season! I am 100% confident they will get their with all of our help!

WRESTLERS: Last thing, if you were told by a parent, another teammate, a fan, or a random person to text me the message, use INTEGRITY! It’s your job to tell me the truth to my face…not by text or phone.

Thanks,
Link

Macallister showed his rabbit at the National Rabbit show in Pennsylvania this past week. He won the whole thing! (that is like the equivalent of winning Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show or Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA’s).

Macallister was Best in Show at the 90th American Rabbit Breeders Association National Convention out of 5,200 rabbits! He was the first one in history to win with a Steel Dutch rabbit!

EXELLENT JOB MACALLISTER!
