We have talked with the coach from Oak Creek that was heading the Fullerton trip. His team has decided to go to a tournament in Ohio instead for this year. We are really bummed out. The money that was collected as a down payment will be returned to those that gave it to me. Starting in May I will be working on setting our team up for Fullerton in 2010 - that way we won't have this problem again and possibly we can add a second day at lagoona beach or trip to disney land (shhh). There are a few closer tournaments this spring that you all can discuss with Dann. They would be cheaper because we could rent a bus for travel. Again I am really sorry to those of you that worked SO hard to make money for this trip. To Lindsey, Abby, Brit and Sarah H, the money you made from cookie dough will stay in the club account for you to use towards another trip. If you girls would like I will order candy for sales in Feb. Also we have a Friday concessions in Feb. -- please don't leave me by myself! Try to get some of the new girls to help out to get to the team.

HOLD THE PHONE
I have been in contact with the Fullerton tournament to explain our problem. They have agreed to find California ruggers to fill in with us. I am waiting for the lead coach from Oak Creek to agree to this or refuse it. If he agrees -- we go to California!!! Keep your fingers crossed.

fullerton
Hey guys
We just got word from the coach organizing the fullerton tournament. There are not enough girls signed up to make a team, most likely due to the economy. Our team has 4 definates, oak creek has 4 definates but the other team has none. If there are people that were still considering going I need to know NOW. If the team can not be filled out within a couple of days it will be cancelled. We are very upset about this because you girls worked so hard to go. There were a couple of other options for April and May, tournaments in St. Louis and Ohio but this trip was important to you. Hopefully we will have a full team this spring and fall and with the fundraising we do we will not have to rely on other teams to make up a full team for fullerton next year - it will strickly be Pius. If by some miracle we get 10 girls that can go within a few days (I am even willing to take girls from other teams - DSHA, Muskego, Catholic Memorial etc) I will attempt to convince the other coach to continue the trip. If not, those that have paid money will get their money back. I think that Abby summed it up best "this sucks!".

I also need to know if you girls want to continue with fund raising to ensure that we will have enough money to have home games and pay fully for our girls to go next year to fullerton. Again I am really sorry.
