CALI-NEV-HA DISTRICT DISTRICT RAP From the east to the west, you know we are the best! We're the District with the sting, And that's why we sing; We're the bees, buzz, buzz! We're the bees, buzz, buzz! It's all about the party-hardy CNH Bees! FALL RALLIES FOR CALI-NEV-HA DISTRICT Due to the District's massive size, two Fall Rallies are held each year; one in Northern California at Discovery Kingdom, one in Southern California at Six Flags. Thousands of members gather at each of the two theme parks on their selected day, one in October, one in November. At Fall Rally North, LTGs and Executive officers are "auctioned" off to Divisions; the winning Division is able to then spend a designated period of time with the "purchased" officer. In the South, funds are collected through a pillowcase drive, in which Divisions compete to fill pillowcases with money. Funds and ticket sales for both events go towards Pediatric Trauma Prevention and Pediatric Emergency Medicine. EXTERNAL LINKS |
