Hi everyone – lots of news this week. I think youve gotten much of it directly from the league already, but I am passing it on:

1. I still need a volunteer or two for refs. Basically, every week we need to provide a ref for a game preceding ours when we play at 7:15, or after the game if we play at 6:30. And the league would like those who end up reffing to come to the clinic this Wednesday (45 minutes, followed by drinks if you like). I will be attending the clinic, but would love to have a fellow green team volunteer or two join me, or at least to be open to reffing a game here or there.

2. There is a pre-season party Friday night from 7 to 11 at Tom Toms. Drinks are free for all DC Kickball paid players, and you can bring a guest for $10 (which covers their drinks). I will be there for at least a good part of the night, and hope to see lots of you there.

3. The league is also participating in a community clean-up of the park on Saturday. I wont be able to attend, but if youd like to go, its from 10 to 2.

4. Our first game is next week, Monday at 7:15. Please drop me an e-mail confirming whether youre planning on playing or not. The rest of the schedule is available at: http://dckickball.org/wp-content/dckickballschedule.pdf

5. Our t-shirts have arrived and will be undergoing some final design enhancements this week. They may be available Friday night at Tom Toms, but I think Monday at the game is more likely.

6. Finally, we do still have room for a few more players. If you do know someone who wants to play, tell them to sign up for Green Team at dckickball.org.

Looking forward to seeing you Friday night or Monday night!
