Thank You to so many. It is tough to get out in the evening. 

It was my 3rd parent meeting of the week so I know.

Dear Members of MidMaine Lacrosse,

Thursday, September 18th will be our Grand Council Meeting. We will meet at 6:00pm at the Palmyra Community Center. All parents, coaches and board members are encouraged to attend. 

It is a very important meeting as will be discussing the future of high school lacrosse within our communities. Mr. Chris Hopkins, Head Master at MCI will present a proposal for the members of MidMaine Lacrosse to consider. Mr. Hopkin's presentation will open our meeting. We will commence at 6:00pm precisely.

Following Mr. Hopkins presentation, we have a heavy agenda....

As always we will try to keep the meeting to 7:00pm but I suspect this meeting will go until 7:30pm. 

If you only attend one meeting all year...this is the meeting to attend. 

If you cannot attend this meeting please take ten minutes and share ideas, concerns, agenda commentary.

This will require 5 minutes of your time to read.

MidMaine Lacrosse and its members are working hard. 

There's so much happening and it is the off season.

We have tried repeatedly to pay respect to the originators of the game of lacrosse. One of the ways that we have done this is to use Iroquois, Mohawk and Sioux words to label our events and happenings. 
For example, MML just hosted the Wakina Clinic (A Sioux word for Thunder.) 
We held the Tegenhondi Tournament (The Iroquois work for spring.) 
And Wuttahminnash (The Mohawk word (sort-of) for Strawberry Festival.)  
(Please grant us a bit of literary licence and creativity.) 
I have been searching for a creative method to encourage better participation at a meeting and board level. Our Grand Council Meeting will occur ASAP in September. The date is pending but will be announced imminently. 

Agenda Item to include, but not limited to;

Relationship with Town of Palmyra
Wakina Summer Clinic Success

I do not think we can accomplish this in one hour. I would aim for 1 hour 45 minutes. I believe we will meet at the Palmyra Community Center. There's quite a bit of work to be discussed and decisions to be considered. 

PLEASE COME. 

I am waiting to hear back from potential presenters to announce the meeting time, date and location. If you have suggestions, conflicts or agenda items please be in touch. We are at such a positive precipice. We have such momentum. We are impacting kids well being and being well. You do not need to be a Board Member to attend. You do not have to have a child on the team if you want to help MidMaine Lacrosse and its athlete lacrosse players. 

From Proactice Coaching;
Many roles on teams require a great deal of hard work without much glory. The key is to acknowledge the importance of those roles and to find people who are willing to find extraordinary joy out of what most people on the outside consider ordinary
