Hi Everyone,

As I write this I am totally psyched that it has been raining throughout the
night and this morning. Last weekend we aerated the total soccer area, and
overseeded with 600 pounds of grass seed. In my memory, we have never been as
lucky with the weather the week following our field work as we are now.

I want to thank the parents, coaches and players who came out to help with this
work on a chilly Saturday. I especially want to identify some key players in
this work:

Jerry Byrnes: U14B coach who supplied a tractor, organized team parents and
worked on not only the U14 field, but also the U12 field which needed dirt in
some worn out areas.

Mike Ramsburg: U14B Parent and team helper, coordinated the purchase of 3 truck
loads of screened soil, purchased and picked up the 600 pounds of seed and spent
Saturday working on our fields.

Greg Clabaugh: U14B Parent who DONATED 3 dozen bales of straw for this work and
has donated compost material to our fields in recent past seasons.

Jorge Vasquez: U12B coach who worked with his son to gather up all of our
benches for winter storage.

George Wirick: U12G coach and club registrar who refurbished our storage shed
doors.

Keeping a volunteer organization as large as GVAA Soccer running requires help
in lots of different areas. I thank you all!
