Gorilla FC 2011 May Newsletter

Ahoy!

Spring cleaning is in full effect.  We have a great Gorilla FC event to come join for the Gorilla FC Seattle Works project.  See more info below.  GFC has grown so much this year, and continues to do so.  Thanks for bringing your friends out and spreading the word.  This month brings the Sounders first regular season derby match vs. our northwest rivals — Portland Timbers.   It will be great having the rivalry alive and strong, and showing the rest of the country why the northwest is the focus of soccer to come in the States.  May also has the Euro Champions League Final which we will watch at the Taphouse!

Gorilla FC wants to invite you to help out in an area you can bring your skills!  If you have any ideas shoot them to gorillafc@gmail.com!

Away Trip to Portland Game Update

Extra reminder that the MLS has moved the game time of the July away Timbers leg to 1pm from 2pm.  Our bus will be accounting for this(earlier departure-fun) and just make sure you know if you are heading down on your own.  You can pick up your tickets only if you purchased them at the DC United Vs Sounders away game at the Dray on 5/4/2011 430.  Otherwise they will be mailed to you.

Feeling Thirsty After the Game???

Temple Billards

Many Gorilla FC members head to Temple Billiards after home game to partake in some really well priced drinks. They have a deal there where you can get a pint of Brougham Bitter and a shot of Jameson for $8. Not a bad deal…
