                November 18, 2008


Coaches and Team Managers,


All remaining U6, U7 & U8 Trophies (as well as remaining Coach Plaques) will be available for pick up at the Information Tent at Area H (the Rose Bowl) on Saturday, November 22nd.

If you are missing a trophy, or if you need corrections (misspellings, etc.) made for a trophy, please email me or fax me immediately.  Fax number is (626) 792-1402 and email address is ftbigelow@earthlink.net.  All requests should include a current mailing address.

I must have the corrections emailed or faxed to me by December 1st.  Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate any requests received after that date.

To replace the name plate on a trophy, simply use a butter knife to gently lIft off the incorrect plate and replace with the corrected name plate. 



Sincerely,

Frank Bigelow
Awards Co-coordinator

USED SOCCER GEAR COLLECTION

Our Gear collectlon efforts continue! We are putting together uniform sets to donate to LA Scores, and to youth groups in Haiti, Africa, and Mexico.

We have had great success in collecting gear and getting it into the hands of kids in need. As great as our success has been we find that the need is always greater than the amount of gear we have...As you reach the end of a great AYSO season please consider donating your old uniforms, cleats, balls, shinguards, etc. so that they can help brighten another child's life!

Thank you for your amazing help!

UPDATE:

On October 18 our community gathered together and helped sort, box and ship 34 team sets of uniforms, balls, cleats, and other soccer gear amounting to over 2,200 items to Iraq. The collection effort was covered as the closing "feel good" News story on the KTLA Prime Time News. Yesterday Jake started to receive the first boxes of gear...

We are pleased and honored to be working with the LA Galaxy and the US Soccer Foundation Passback program in support of former Region 13 player Jake Brady, now deployed to Iraq. Jake Brady played in Region 13 from 1987 to 1997 and was also a youth referee.

Jake’s Cavalry Squadron is stationed in the Rashid district of Baghdad. Their mission includes peace keeping and promoting positive interactions between civilians and the Multi National Troops. Jake’s Squadron will distribute our soccer gear to the children of the Baghdad area.

Bring your old gear (jerseys, shorts, socks, cleats (tied together please), shinguards & balls), to donate. Your donations will be used to promote peace and create goodwill. Together we can make a positive difference.
Please tell your soccer teammates, school, friends, and neighbors!
Thank you for your help!
