2. CACNE Trivia Night Continues Thursday, October 7 @ 8 PM!


Come join CACNE as we compete in the Alumni Group Trivia Competition!  Group prizes include gift certificates of up to $100 for the Baseball Tavern.

I am also glad to announce that CACNE is winning the Alumni Challenge after the first week!  The winning alumni group after eight weeks will win a free end-of-season wrap up party with food and drinks as well as a banner hanging in the BT as 2010 Alumni Trivia Champions! 

Trivia night will be held every Thursday, September 30 - November 18.  If we get enough interest, we can have more than one team, so the more, the merrier!  If you're interested in coming to one or all of the nights, sign up today on the CACNE facebook page!
