Dollar Bay Runeberb Lodge (Lodge 8) had a neat idea this spring to help get the Lodge name in the public eye.
Sponsoring a U-10 travel soccer team with our logo on their jerseys.
The Lodge paid for the jerseys.
The competition is very strong on these travel teams and the Runeberg team ended up one game under .500, but made a good run in the playoffs and almost knocked off the number 1 team in the semi-finals. It was a fun season with memories that will be with the players and parents for years to come.
