Deadline For Banquet Coming Up!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

The days are flying by and the Banquet will be here in a little over a week, Saturday April 8. Some of you may have been on Spring Break and didn't realize the Banquet was coming up so soon!

If you haven't already put your reservation form and check in the mail, it is not too late! Please reply to this email and let me know that you are coming. The mail will still get the payment to our Treasurer, but we need to have a head count by the end of the weekend.

This is a complete dinner and the caterer needs to know how many meals to prepare, how many tables to set, etc. Your "FALL" Board members need time to get name tags made, the program prepared, etc. So help us out and let us know you are coming! We don't want anyone to come and not find a place to sit and be a part of the fun.

There will be door prizes and Silent Auction items just like at the Socials. Everyone gets one door prize ticket free for entry, and you can buy more - 1 for $1  or 6 for $5. It could be your lucky day!!

Don't forget, the seniors will also have a chance to give us their parting shots, so come and say Good Luck and Thank You to seniors Joey Palmer, Joey Delgado and Ali Alshujery.

So get your reservations mailed in, send me an email and get counted in. Thank you!

Go Beavs!

Help Support OSU Wrestling With the Banquet

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Just a week left to get your reservations in to join the coaches, wrestlers and other fans in celebrating the season just past and looking forward to the future!

One of the main functions of "The FALL" Fan Club besides increasing fan fun and fan numbers is to sponsor the annual Awards Banquet for the wrestling team.

Every year we raise money toward the banquet by selling door prize tickets and Silent Auction items at the Socials. Another way is by asking for donations specifically for the banquet.

If you have opened the file for the reservation form you have seen the section for donations. The levels of donation are equivalent to one, two, four or eight persons. All donors' names will be listed on the back of the program under the appropriate level of gifting.

So how can you help? Here are several suggestions:

• Come to the Banquet, buy extra door prize tickets, you could even win some great prizes!
• Bring a special item to offer as a Silent Auction item, in the past we've had paintings, sculptures, gift baskets, Beaver gear, even Blazer tickets!
• Come to the Banquet plus give a donation to help feed some hungry wrestlers!
• If you can't come to the Banquet, you can still mail in a donation with the reservation form
• Don't want to mess with the mail? Use "The FALL"'s online portal to make a donation - go to the site, scroll down below membership to the donation section, either use one of the amounts listed, or enter an amount of your choosing in the empty box and hit the "donate" button!

Mostly, we'd like to have a large crowd on hand to let the wrestlers know that they and their hard work all season are appreciated by the fans!

Why are we asking for donations right now? Well, it has been a season where the schedule has been kind of different. The odd dates and times have led to smaller crowds at the Socials, so the Treasury is not as equipped to handle the expense of the ever increasing costs of catering.

Don't forget, get your reservation form in by this coming Friday, March 31. The Banquet will be April 8, but we need time to get the head count for the caterer, make the programs, etc.

Thank you! Go Beavs!

You Are Invited to The OSU Wrestling Banquet!

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

You are cordially invited to attend the Oregon State Wrestling Banquet for the 2016-17 season. The Banquet will take place on Saturday, April 8, in the Club level of Reser Stadium.

Doors open at 5:00 for a Social hour, then dinner will be served at 6:00. The awards program follows. Included will be speeches by the graduating seniors.

Please RSVP by March 31, Friday of next week. We need to have a headcount for the caterer, so we ask your help in getting your responses back soon! We were not able to set it all up to use "The FALL"s online portal, so you will have to mail in your reservations along with a check.

The letter of invitation gives a few more details, such as cost. The reservation form can be downloaded and saved to your computer, then filled out on your screen, then printed and mailed with your check. Or you can download it, print it and mail it in along with your check.

The letter of invitation and the reservation form are in the same file. You only need to fill out/print/mail the second page (reservation form) of the file.

If you know of anyone who would like to attend who may not get these emails, please share! All are welcome to attend! We just need to know that you are coming!

Hope to see many of you at the Banquet! Let's celebrate the Beavers!

Go Beavs!

NCAA's Over - Final Scores, More Photos, Banquet Coming Up!

Coaches - Ian Miller & Kevin Roberts

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Hope you all got to enjoy the big show last night, either at the Scottrade Center in St Louis, or on ESPN television. Penn State ran away with another team title, having five individual National Champions. It was a good show, with great matches. It will be even better some day when we have some Beavers in the final matches!

All Oregon State could do during those last two sessions was to wait to see if any team would pass them on the scoreboard. A few teams did, so when the final whistle blew, Oregon State finished in 28th place. Out of the Pac-12 teams, only Arizona State and Stanford placed ahead.

Here are the final team scores for all teams participating - compiled by TrackWrestling:
