The 2007 Treasure Hunt Clues
May 21st through Monday June 4th 2007
In the 19th Ward is hidden a small Tupperware container under a Rock with a small X on it. In the Tupperware container are 8 Keys and a logbook, Each key has a number on it. If you find the container and there are any keys left in it, take one key. Again take only one key and leave the others. Sign in on the log book. Put the container and rock back just as you found them. Each Key matches a lock at the YMCA and corresponds to a specific prize. When you present the correct key you will be awarded the matching prize, or a coupon to use to claim the prize. Prizes include a three month membership to the Southwest YMCA, a Spring Gardening Kit from Hunt’s Hardware, a Designer Oil from Paula’s, a Basketball from Jim Dalberth’s, a running shirt and matching hat from Jim Dalberth’s, three free oil and filter changes at Thurston Garage, a free lunch from El Latino, and a $25 cash prize from James Crowley Plumbing, Inc
