End of Season Newsletter

Please Recruit

Thanks for participating in the 2011 season.  If your daughter enjoyed it, please recruit from her friends for next season.  Nothing works better than word of mouth.  More teams = more fun.  The larger the league, the larger the pool to draw the core volunteers we need. 2012 registration will begin in early January.

Thanks

Thank you to those of you who volunteered your time to make the season work. If you run into one of our volunteers, please remember to say “Thanks!”.

Recognition Day

As far as I know, this was a first for us.  June 18 turned out to be the day that every organization in Vancouver had their windup but I think it still went well, with roughly 150 attending.  Next year it will be shorter, and during a game blackout.

Volunteering

If you want to get your volunteering done pre-season next year, we can use help with publicity etc.
