Help! We Still Need Volunteers for this weekend!

If you haven't contacted Susan Reher, please do so as soon as you can.

Susan has taken on the time consuming task of contacting and scheduling parents to help out with the East Invite this weekend, and she is doing a great job. But, she hasn't heard back from many of you.

If you can make it, we need your help. Even if you cannot make it, please let Susan know that, so she can focus her energy elsewhere.

(Thanks, of course, to all those who have already volunteered.)

Madison Information

Here's the best news: All but two of our players are coming!

Today we are sending out detailed information about the Madison trip, including times, cost, hotel, emergency contact information, and the inevitable forms (one of which must be notarized.)

If the forms are all signed and returned quickly, life will be beautiful.

Tournament this weekend

This weekend we are hosting the East Invite - the biggest high school tournament ever held in Colorado. In addition to the opportunity to see our team in action, Saturday night will feature a "showcase" game between last year's collegiate champions and one of the best clubs in the nation.

More information and a schedule are here: http://eastultimate.org/Invite/invite.htm

We need a notary

If you are a notary, please let us know. We anticipate needing to have some forms notarized at the last minute and having someone to call upon would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who has sent donations, volunteered, or pitched in to do one onerous task or another. You are great!

Thank you very much for getting the trip forms back so promptly. We still need forms from three players. All three have promised that their forms would arrive some time today.

Thanks For Your Help At The Invite

Thanks to everyone who pitched in to make the first East Invite a success. Dirk Hansen (Mary's dad) and Susan Reher (Goofy's mom) deserve special thanks. They did a great deal of work planning the tournament, arranging to have parents there to help, collecting equipment, planning and buying food, setting up, taking down, carrying things to and fro, and spending many hours at the tournament.

When there's more time, we will thank everyone - including the burrito salespeople - and share some of the very positive feedback we've received. In the meantime, there are photos, some exciting and some silly, on the website.
