I will bring t-shirts to practice on Tuesday and I expect everyone to donate $5 for each shirt. Remember that the profits from these t-shirts are for the club and not an individual.
It is Janey. I started my job as Pediatric Dietitian at Children's Hospital in New Orleans. It is a great job and it is quite challenging! I finally finished my school and internship...and finally making an income again, after 5 years or so.
Anyway, I am part of the rebuilding of the New Orleans Halfmoon Rugby team and would like to send out an inviation to anyone that is interested in coming down here for our Twilight 7's tournament. It is scheduled the weekend of August 30th and we will be billeting all participating players. Meaning...you will all have a free place to stay. Of course, Lehigh Valley members are welcome to my place in Uptown NOLA. Also, if you would like to come down earlier or stay a little longer, you are more than welcome to stay with me...however, for a price, a case of Yuengling would be much appreciated (thought I saw that they sell it in Alabama!).
The games start at 5 PM and party is the French Quarter.
here is the link to the team's website and I would love to have some of my Pennsylvania team to come down! Please let me know if you are able to make it.
Much Love!
Janey Yoo
PS. we already have dates for the Mardi Gras tournament...hint hint.

Hi!! The Breast Cancer Site is trying to get 8 million clicks by the end of June to get a $10k donation from one of their sponsors. I thought I'd try to help! Please click on the following link (or copy & paste it) then click on the "Click to Give" button. Feel free to forward! It counts every click you make, once a day, from a different IP address (computer). So feel free to click daily! Thanks :0)

Myself, Melissa and Leslie are heading down to Brandywine's Womens Practice this Thursday from 7-9pm. We'll probably be leaving Bethlehem by 5:30-5:45pm. If anyone else is interested in coming with, please let me know. I have room for 1 possibly 2 more people in my car.
For anyone still interested in coming out, Brandywine women just asked me if we had any players interested in picking up. Please see me in the morning and I can direct you to the correct team.
that's funny...the mighty...i always felt like we were more beefy...but maybe perhaps you were talking about when sandy, kimmy, KB, bates, barnak etc were playing.
oh well...
y'all can come down to NOLA and play some rugby...we need some help down here.

Unfortunately, I did not get a commitment early enough from enough people before the women's bracket filled up. Therefore I can not enter a team for Saturday. If a team drops out, we can than enter one, I'll keep everyone posted as to if this occurs.

Hi Everyone: Things are coming at me fast with the tournament and it will be difficult for me to try to brief you all at the fields on what needs done for the tournament. So, I'm laying it all out here. Please print this off and bring it with you to the fields to use as a check-list.
On an exciting note, Patrick McNally who is the USA National Referee Manager will be attending our tournament this weekend to spend time with the referees, coaches and players to provide information and feedback on the standards and the goals for refereeing Sevens. He is coming in from CA for our event and will be attending a number of other Sevens events over the upcoming months. It will be great to have someone on this level available throughout the day to answer any questions and bring us up to speed on how the Sevens game is being managed.
We always strive to make our tournament the best sevens tournament on the East Coast and the feedback that we've received from teams, managers, referees and coaches in the past has been very good. But given that Paddy will be with us, this will mean some extra exposure for us and we want to leave him with the best possible impression. From site prep, to management throughout the day, to how we as hosts interact and treat the other teams and spectators are very important.
With that said, here are the things that need to be completed for the tournament this Saturday. Absolutely every bit of time or assistance that you can offer will be greatly appreciated in making this event successful.
Nate, Shane and Jeff: I'm asking you guys to stay up at the plate (as you have been) in helping to get all of this pulled together and provide your teammates with direction/guidance.
What you as a club member need to bring:
A lawn rake - Friday (see below)
Bottle for the wheelbarrow or a "filler" item if you're under 21 (give to Tracy Gola)
Raffle ticket stubs, money and any unsold tickets (give to Tracy, as well)
Coolers - we need to have a lot of coolers on hand to keep things cold. Put your name on it somewhere so that we can give it back to you at the end of the day.
Nate, Shane and Jeff - I'm leaving it to you guys to obtain the wheelbarrow (or have someone get it)...a new one, please.
Benny and Shane - you said that you would bring tables.
Benny - you said that you would also bring some goal post pads.
Friday - Field Preparation 1. Evan and I will be out at the fields at 1:00PM. Please get there as soon as possible. We realize that folks work. The sooner you make it out there, the less time it takes to have it all done. We'd prefer to not have to line the fields using the headlights from our cars.
2. Please bring a lawn rake...when the City cuts the grass, there are often tuffs of grass all over. We can't paint the lines over these so run the rakes along the areas to be lined first.
3. The main field will be lined by the City. They may not get the 40s and the 5-meter lines, so we need to check and complete those lines, if necessary.
4. The second field is measured out but lines need to be run for painting. Please pay attention to the directions for lining that Evan will have available. We want solid lines to be solid, hashed lines to be hashed, all lines to be straight, etc. Otherwise, we will be sending someone out to get green paint to make the corrections.
5. The third field will be the challenge...Evan and I had a plan but the City cannot move the temporary fencing where they started construction on the ballfield. This means that we need to figure out how to position it and measure, run lines, etc. This field will probably be a bit smaller than regulation, but we will need to work with it.
6. Spectator ropes - will need to be set-up on both sides, from dead-ball to dead-ball line. They need to be measured 15 feet away from the fields in a straight line and the rope secured on either end. And yes, it is necessary to have them on both sides...there's a whole requirement for it.
7. Goal posts - I've already asked you to check for all the parts. They need to be put up securely.
8. Parking Lot - Tidy it up. We don't want the concrete buckets just laying around. No parking on the grassy area in front of the Steeler's field, so we should use a couple of them and use caution tape to cord it off.
9. Parking Lot - Mark off with caution tape two areas that are no-parking so that an ambulance can gain entrance. One on the left side of the fieldhouse and one on the right.
10. Tents - we have two tents in the clubhouse. The tops can all be assembled Friday night, set on the ground where we want them and just popped up on Saturday morning. The white tent will stay up by the main field. The sliver tent will be placed between the two lower fields for a first aid area.
11. Trash bins will need to have liners placed in them...it's a lot easier for clean-up. (We will be making all attempts to encourage teams to recycle this weekend and have bins marked accordingly. We are within a mile of the recycling center and there is no reason that we can't do our part to "Go Green". We dispose of at least 1200 plastic water bottles, another 500 gatorade bottles, numerous cans, etc...let's do our part.)
Saturday - Set-up
We all hate early mornings but need to do what we need to do. We are starting early due to the number of teams attending. You will need to be there at 7:00AM, please. Teams will be showing up by 7:30AM.
1. Final field prep - Godek's goal post pads to go on the main field. LV's pads on the next field and the set Benny is bringing to the 3rd field. Check goal posts for stability.
2. Each field will need 14 flags
3. Final set-up of tents.
4. Set-up of tables.
5. Moving water and gatorade from clubhouse to tent areas for registration and food.
6. Assistance filling coolers with beverages, ice.
7. Set-up of T-shirt and raffle sales.
I think that will cover it for that time of the AM.
During the day:
1. General field clean-up ongoingly. You see water bottles and what-not on the sidelines, recycle them.
2. Check in to give a break to anyone working the food, t-shirt, raffle sales.
3. Pay attention to the field set-ups and make sure that spectator ropes and goal posts are all okay. Will need to be responsive to any goal-post tipovers, etc.
4. Clean-up/breakdown of all fields and set-ups at the end of the tournament.
Evening:
1. Go social.
My apologies for being long-winded with this...it's just that on Saturday, I need to spend a good deal of time checking teams in and dealing with any issues that arise, so it makes it hard to clearly give directions at those times.
I will be at the fields Friday for the afternoon and part of the evening for any clarification that's needed. If you have any questions before then, please use my cell 484-767-5905. I turn off the computer by Friday AM and don't check it again for the rest of the weekend.
I appreciate your attention to this...see you very soon -

Hi Everyone
The club had 4 fluorescent green Powerade coolers that were sitting in the club house. We are down to 1. Does anyone know who has the other 3? We need them for the tournament, please contact me if you have one.
We also need to borrow coolers for the tourney on the 7th. If you could bring one Saturday morning, we'd appreciate it.
Don't forget to sell your raffle tickets and bring a bottle of booze for the wheelbarrow.

Looks as if they are calling for more rain tomorrow (Tuesday). If you want, please feel free to come out and run around with the guys, I will be late to practice.
Thursday is defintely on from 6-8pm.
I'll need to start figuring out if we have enough interest for our own Home Tourney on June 7th, so please fill out the Database on the Yahoo Groups.
Any questions, comments or concern, please feel free to email directly at tgola22@...
There's a tourney on June 21st in Columbia, Maryland (Slug 7s, Rocky Gorge is the host club) if anyone is interested in taking charge for that weekend, let me know. I will most likely be playing at Bloodfest in Austin, Texas.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks
Tracy Gola
P.S. Don't forget practice next THURSDAY, May 15th from 6-8pm.
Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
I won't be at practice tonight or any of the next couple Tuesday's but I'll be there Thursday. I also have been letting all the potential new players know about the times and will send out a mass email to all the names I have about 7s at some time this week.

Hey Ladies
For anyone interested, 7s practice begins this week. Tuesday 5:45 - 6:45pm (I have to be somewhere by 7pm, but feel free to stay and run around) and Thursday 6-8pm (first hour will be fitness, second hour will be ball handling drills).
Lindsay - can you please forward this email to anyone I've missed.

Plan your next roadtrip with MapQuest.com: America's #1 Mapping Site.
I will not be able to come to practice this week cause of finals (boo!) or the next week cause I'll be at camp with Shellers and Weigle and Swats (woo!). I'll hopefully be able to come regularly after that, depending on if I get to use my dad's car (I'm poor, I don't own a car). Can't wait to start and die of cardiac arrest (joke)! Peace.
JamJam
p.s. I would like to either borrow the tape of the game or come to your house and watch it eventually. Oh and I can't come tomorrow night cause I have a chem final (boo).

For anyone interested in playing 7s this summer, I will be out at the field Tuesday and Thursday this week doing a fitness routine. Feel free to join me at 6pm for a 2 mile run and than a sprint workout.
If it's pouring out, I will just head to the gym instead.

Hi Gentlemen and Ladies: LVRFC's Summer Sevens Tournament will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2008. This year's event will once again be a qualifying tournament for teams looking to compete in MARFU Championships and eventually the Men's National Club 7s.
Lehigh Valley's Annual Tournament is a club fundraiser which covers a large portion of the club's expenses over the course of the year and it also benefits the American Cancer Society. Regardless of whether or not you play the sevens game of rugby, all club members are asked to make an effort to solicit ads for the tournament book and sell raffle tickets for our wheelbarrow of cheer. In addition, your time will be needed prior to and on the day of the tournament to set-up and manage the venue.
The attached file is a letter that you can print out and provide to any potential advertisers or sponsors. All of the information needed is contained within the letter regarding ad cost, size, submission methods and deadline (All ads are due with payment by May 23rd, 2008). The ad book is roughly 5" X 8". I will stop by the fields this week with some samples of last year's ad book so that you can show it to potential advertisers. Thanks very much to Kerrilee Dehart (Coco's better-half) for her willingness to complete the layout again this year - she put a lot of time into last year's book and did an excellent job.
In a few weeks we will be distributing raffle tickets to be sold for a wheelbarrow of cheer. Traditionally, all members are asked to donate a bottle for the wheelbarrow. Any members under the age of 21 are asked to bring non-alcoholic items for the wheelbarrow...i.e. - mixers, cocktail nuts, snacks, etc. More information on this will be available in upcoming weeks.
Please let me know if you have any questions. If you sell the inside front cover or the outside back cover of the ad book, get in touch right away so that we can let folks know that it's taken. Thanks in advance for all of your help with this...see you soon!
so is the meeting being moved from hometown to your house?

Ladies,
I am hoping to get everyone together so we can discuss the future of
this team. I am planning on being at hometown heroes (Linden and Goepp
in Bethlehem) at 8:30 on Thursday March 20. I would like to get as
many people that are interested there at that time so that we can
figure out a plan for the team. I would also appreciate any girls that
are no longer playing that are free at that time to come out and offer
their insight. So hopefully we can sit down, enjoy a cold beverage and
figure out a plan. Also if anyone knows anyone at all that might be
interested this would be a good time to bring them and introduce them
to the team (which will hopefully consist of more than just me sitting
in a bar by myself). I look forward to meeting everyone and wish you
all a great week ahead.
Lindsay
It's Janey (Maulie 2001-2005) and I am currently living in New Orleans and will be for the next year of so. I will be finishing my dietetic internship through Tulane next week, and will be officially making an INCOME (fulltime) after 5 years of sporadic employment, intense schooling, and soul searching. For those who have known me for awhile, you know it has been a crazy journey...I plan on staying in NOLA for about year since being offered a position at Children's Hospital of New Orleans.
In addition, I have started playing with the New Orleans Halfmoons who have been trying to get their team together since Katrina and we now have a team (we have combined with Tulane's Women's rugby).
Anyway, we have entered a side in the NASH BASH (a pretty large rugby tournament in Nashville). So if you are interested in playing 15's, in a pretty competitive bracket...let me know. We can also offer a free place to stay
too.
Best,
Janey Yoo
PS. I am hoping to enter a Beefy Back 7's team this summer, only criteria you have to be over the 150 pound mark on the scale...only exception Gola because we need a scrum half. Well, if anyone is interested in playing 7's socially but in a serious kind of way...send me an email.
