Worry

Dear Members of MidMaine Lacrosse,

Sunday, December 7th, at the Tsothohrha Tree Festival, we have the potential to earn funding to support referee and tournament costs for the entire spring season.

US Lacrosse, Maine Lacrosse Coaches Association, MSAD#53 and RSU#19 have demonstrated their support of our efforts and organization. Area businesses have given monies to launch the festival.

I am worried as, with 100+ members of lacrosse, less than ten have signed up to donate food and help at the festival. I think we are privileged to have this organization and opportunity. Everyone is busy. High school players are more than equipped to contribute brain and brawn to the day. But there are jobs for middle school athletes as well.

Your family might not need the financial aid afforded by participating in fund raising efforts but a great majority of our team members require subsidized play. Your child needs a team and therefore we need your help.

Can you make time today and review the sign ups? 

My Thanksgiving will be much more enjoyable if I am not panicked about the Tree Festival. 

We are hoping for 1-200 guests. Ten individuals cannot make that happen alone. And I will be a wreck if I do not have a plan in place. There is no winging 1-200 guests.

Thanks to those that have already signed up. It was a Board of Director's  and parent decision to host the Festival. We can do it differently or not at all next year but we are committed in 2014.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Gretchen

Tsothohrha Tree Festival 12/7 4-7pm @PCC signup sheet

Tree Festival-MidMaine Lacrosse will host a Tree Festival @ Palmyra Community Center Sunday 12/7 4pm-7pm. 20 area businesses are sponsoring trees. These trees were generously discounted by Dalhou Farms for this Festival in 2013. (We had to cancel because of an ice storm so this year there is a rain date of 12/14 also.)

Trees will be decorated by the sponsoring businesses or by area community & school groups. Decorated trees will be judged for prizes. Visitors can purchase raffle tickets as, at the close of the event, trees and decorations will be raffled for people to bring home. There will be live music, skits, an elf parade and concessions. We are requesting, as this should prove our largest fund raising event of the year, for EACH lacrosse family, NEW & OLD MML members, contribute to the concession sale.

Then, please come hungry yourself!

DATE: 12/7/2014 (Sun 4:00PM - 7:00PM)

LOCATION: Palmyra Community Center

Please bring food near noon.

Dear MML Athletes,

Have you glanced about? Have you noticed the adults that make these adventures possible? And we share some grand adventures....
Please say thank you out loud and repeat it.

As President, I love that MML celebrates the origins of the native game of lacrosse. Words like Tegenhondi, Wuttahminneash, Tsothohrha and Thunder come directly from native origins of the game of lacrosse. 
I love, that our children are a part of the fastest growing game in the state of Maine, the USA and the World.
I love, that OUR hard work and determination have been recognized and rewarded by the multiple grants we have received. We have a mandate to continue our hard work, investment, learning, growth and giving.
I am excited to see our girls program, in its infancy, secure a strong foundation.
Today, I would like to thank, Coach Rowell and Coach Boreham. Thank you Chef Baker, Registrar Boreham, Treasurer PaterNoster,
Secretary Gould, MC Simpson, Equipment Simpson, Sous Chef Matt, Benefactor Bowman, Field Team Wilson and Photographers Wilcox and Monteyro. There are 15 others I should thank for the week past....If I forgot to mention someone today...I admit I am beat tired. (That dang tooth....)
My favorite photos reflect the drive and determination of our more seasoned athletes as well as the enthusiasm and the wonder reflected in the expressions of the younger players.
We posted more than 1000 photos in two volumes this evening. Tag yourselves. Share the good news.

And please invite EVERYONE you meet EVERYWHERE you go to join us for the Tsothohrha Tree Festival 12/7 4-7pm.

Did I mention, in addition to Thanking so many adults?.....

Thank you MidMaine Lacrosse athletes. You are such a hard working, coach-able, civic minded, determined, talented and capable group of young athletes. You set an example you can be proud of. I am sure proud of you.

Thanks for a great 2nd annual Sticks & Stones,

Gretchen

We want teams at the middle school and high school level. This Thursday, November 6th, from 5-6pm for $20 @ Palmyra Community begins our Learn2Lax Girls program. Please encourage friends to come play and learn. We will meet for three weeks in November and again in January.The regular season runs March to early June. The grant will supply equipment.
