Click here for the flyer.
As a reminder to everyone
May 30th is the ASCE YMF Paintball social event. For reservation purposes
and payment, we must know by Wednesday May 27th if you are up for the
challenge!! Please RSVP with Juan Rosales (Social Chair) at 702-235-7790.
If, for some reason, the phone isn't answered, please leave a message
and your RSVP will be noted.
Also even though the event is a YMF social, paintball is one of those
events where the more people, the more fun, therefore we encourage everyone
to invite friends or family members to join in the fun. Spectators are
also welcome. Please also let Juan know of any friends that will be attending.
YMF has allocated $450 for the event to reduce the cost for YMF members.
Wednesday May 27th will also be the cut-off point to receive benefit from
the allocated funds. IN OTHER WORDS, if you have not RSVP'd by Wednesday
May 27th, you will not receive a discount even if you are a YMF member.
Remember the benefits of the allocated money is for YMF MEMBERS ONLY!!!!!
Family and friends will have to pay the full price of $45 for equipment
and 500 paintballs. The cost for YMF members who RSVP by May 27th will
likely be less than $45.
Because the event is in Pahrump, we will be meeting at 8:30AM on Saturday
May 30th at Exploration Park in Mountain's Edge. There is plenty of parking
so that several people can carpool to the paintball complex. The location
of Exploration Park is as follows:

great time. Thank you!!!
