Cyprian Keyes Golf Club, Temple Street in Boylston

Social Hour begins at 6:30

Competition begins at 7:30

HOW DOES IT WORK? 

·         Four-person teams collaborate to spell written words on a whiteboard. Words will be pulled from a few sources; 25% will be from the 2011 Scripps National Spelling Bee Spell It®.

·         The teams compete in elimination rounds with the finalists participating in the BIG SPELLING BEE. 

·         Download the official rules and official Spell It® Word book .

·         Costumes are optional, but most teams do wear something to show the spirit of their sponsors! NEW! This year we will have awards for Best Costumes, Most Paying Spectators, and Team With the Best Cheerleaders!

 

WHO CAN HAVE A TEAM? 

Individuals, local businesses, organizations and schools are invited to enter a team - as is any adult who wants to have fun, raise funds for Shrewsbury Public Schools and can spell C-A-T. The 2012 Spelling Bee will be an adult only venue at Cyprian Keyes Golf Club on Temple Street in Boylston.

COST?

The tax-deductible team donation fee is $200.  Teams can recruit business sponsors and should check with their employer about matching donations. The team donation can be a mixture of individual and business sponsorship. 

Also, in these tough economic times businesses are welcome to donate services or products instead of cash. SEF will gladly accept goods or services as part of a team cost - we will hold and auction and raffle for those items!

 

ARE FAMILY & FRIENDS WELCOME TO ATTEND? 

Yes! Spectators are highly encouraged to attend and cheer for your favorite team. Noise-makers, signs, and pm poms are highly encouraged. Prizes will be awarded for the teams with the best cheerleaders and with the most followers. The cost is $10 per spectator. We will have a cash bar, snacks, and raffles.  This is a great time to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Don't forget your checkbooks - we will have opportunities to bid on silent auction items and raffles.
