GFC Scavenger hunt

Gorilla FC invites you to join us for what is sure to be an exciting new tradition.

Here’s what we’ll be up to: Your team of two will pick up a set of clues for a photo scavenger hunt beginning at Fado at 1:00 p.m. and taking place in downtown Seattle. If you’re part of one of the three fastest teams to collect the items and return to Fado to verify how awesome you are, you and your buddy will win a prize pack (with kick arse Sounders swag and items from our community businesses), plus, you’ll be able…

to name a charity of your choosing to receive $ from GFC as a portion of the door. If you wear a cool costume, you could get your hands on something for that also! Every team member will also get a Raffle ticket at the door plus, we’ll give you another raffle ticket if you bring a non-perishable food donation along with you. If you want to bolster your chances even more, don’t worry, we’ll have sexy ticket boys and girls to sell you some more.So what do you say, are you down for a roving party through the city before a big game against San Jose? Get your band of Primates together.You can register on our website – http://www.gorillafc.com/products-page/$25 for two registrations up until September 19th -After that it will be $30 for two – so get your registration on early!

 

Every year, GFC members run for Sounders FC Alliance Council.

The council works hard to represent supporters and fans in meeting with the Sounders front office to discuss issues of importance to us all as Sounders fans.  There are numerous issues that directly affect Gorilla FC, so it’s important we use our votes to get GFC on council.

It takes 25 votes from other Sounders season ticket holders to get on council.  You can vote at: https://eballot4.votenet.com/seattlesoccer/login.cfm by entering your email and account number on any computer or device (like Civ’s Ipad).  You can get your account number from your Sounders ticket rep if needed.

The current Gorilla FC candidates are Cameron Collins and Jeff Randle.  Please vote for one of them.

Want to be on Sounders Alliance Council and represent Gorilla FC in making our club the best club around? Join the democratic process by being on the Gorilla FC Ballot and get 25 votes to qualify. Being on Alliance Council has an expectation of attending one meeting a month with fellow council members.  If you want to run for Alliance Council with GFC’s support, email gorillafcmembcouncil@googlegroups.com and state why you want to be on council.  Must be a paid 2012 GFC member to be on the platform.
GFC MEMBER OF THE MONTH AWARD!

As a way to thank you for continuing to support GFC, the chosen lucky member will receive a gift card courtesy of our friends at FADO. Must be a current 2012 paid GFC member to win.

AND THIS MONTH’S WINNER IS… (This plays in the background)

Rain City Pariah

For the first time ever, Gorilla FC has announced an addition our family. Rain City Pariah Football Collective (RCP) is a Seattle Sounders FC Supporters Collective and Gorilla FC subgroup dedicated to the Arts. The mission of Rain City Pariah is twofold. First, it is to celebrate the rich history of the Arts in Seattle by creating a subgroup of GFC that both follows the credo and code of GFC and incorporates those from the Arts communities (or fans of the Arts communities) into GFC. Second, RCP will seek to support the local Arts Organizations, especially those that provide arts opportunities for children. For more information visit www.facebook.com/raincitypariah or to pre-order a membership visit www.raincitypariah.com.
