Monday we travel to North Kitsap which is in Poulsbo. The bus leaves at 3:15, which means all players must be at the school no later then 2:50. Please bring a snack for the ride up. The games start at 5:00 for the JV/C teams and the varsity starts at 6:30. After the game we will stop at a McDonalds type of fast food place for dinner. Which means most of them will probably be asking you for money! J
Parents if you prefer not to have your child eat at a fast food restaurant then please send some kind of sack dinner. This is our only stop on the way home type of trip. We will get in and out as soon as possible.
Also I would like to thank you all for getting your kidders picked up quickly after the bus gets home. It makes it much easier on me.

Hey all,
I would like to have an end of the year team parent meeting to discuss the season after the season. We will hold it October 12th at 5:30 in the auditorium. You have heard me talk about wanting to raise enough money for the varsity to participate in the Reno Festival this next summer. If we are going to do this then we need to start the planning process now. If we choose not to proceed with this then we need to come up with other ideas such as a team camp, etc.
Also for the next upcoming season I would like to enter the JV team in two tournaments like the varsity currently does.
What I am hoping is we can officially / unofficially what ever is correct put together a volleyball booster club so we can plan how we might be able to raise some money between the end of the season and next year. If we can accomplish this vb booster club perhaps next year it can take over the Serve-A-Thon too. It looks like we will have a record year for this event. At the meeting on the 12th, I will have numbers on how much money the volleyball club has in ASB so we can work around this. I will also have some numbers on entry fee and hotel costs etc for everyone to review. At this time this is my goal, but if you parents don’t think it’s the right idea then I would be open to other suggestions.
Here are a list of major money needs regardless
Reno Festival est cost 3000.00 (I will bring better numbers to the meeting) My thought on transportation I am assuming there will be a handful of parents that want to go and hopefully we can drive/car pool to save on air fare.
Summer League Fife 300.00
2 JV tournaments 400.00
1 varsity tournament 200.00 (school budget pays for the other)
I know the Reno Trip is costly but I think it would be a great experience team bonding experience and would like it to be an annual thing. I have been going for a number of years and it is a great learning experience and a lot of fun even for the parents.
Other things we need to consider and get volunteers to help with
End of the year banquet… Last season Angie and Dan McCormack did it and did a great job. Who ever volunteers I recommend getting their advice on how they set it up. It was the best one we had since I have been at the school.
Senior Night which will be Oct 17th which is our last home game. We have only two seniors this year (last year I think we had 10!) but it would be nice to get a parent or two to work with the Junior class leaders to make this happen.
One more thing on the parent booster club, please if your daughter plans on continuing with our program come to the meeting. We need to all pitch in to help build the program!
Sorry again about the confusion on the North Kitsap schedule… as for the other note the only thing that changes is the date, the dinner stop etc is still on.
If you have any questions like always please contact me.

I really don’t do much in the proofreading of my notes so please excuse me on this. These emails are very time consuming but necessary so I apologize for the typo’s and grammar. J
