To add to what Bubba sent, I feel the need to second this request to
vote for Mark Stadnyk for the UPA Board fo Directors, as I know that
he is as dedicated to the game as they come. I was able to work with
Mark this spring on youth ultimate in Texas, and specifically, our
Youth Club Championship team from Texas.

Those that do not know him should know that last year he tore his ACL
during one of the first games of the season and could have easily
backed out for a while and taken time to recover. Not only did he
continue to work on building the Houston High School League, he also
sent in a bid for his team for UPA High School Westerns, which he
would not have been able to play, and helped me with the YCC bid, even
though he had nothing to gain himself.

Mark is absolutely dedicated to ultimate and I hope that this confirms
that he is not just running for a position or blowing steam, as he did
not even mention this in his statement.

Otherwise, I think everything that needs to be said is in his
statement, so vote for Mark, it takes less than a minute, especially
if you are already on the upa website checking club series results or
looking for nationals seedings.
