Tuesday game, Orangeville Play Day & Organic Veggies!!

Hi Laxers,

Great news: we will play the Toronto Stars on Tuesday, June 19th at McGregor Park @7pm! This will be valuable practice leading up to our U12 Play day on June 23 in Orangeville! If you have time this weekend, find a wall and do some wall ball. This is your best option to improve on catching and stick handling. We will practice as usual on Monday, the 18th; this will be our last session of the season.

The Orangeville U-12 (under 12 years) tournament will be VERY BUSY. The organizers have asked me to remind everyone to ARRIVE EARLY to find the fields, find parking (which apparently will be at a premium) and to get the girls to the washrooms etc. Our first game is at 10:30am; players should be ready to warm up (dressed, ready to play) by no later than 10:00 am.

Cathy Dandy (Tabitha's mom and our local ward 15 TDSB trustee) has shared some information regarding a GREAT family event happening the same day, in the same general area as our tournament. Her brother operates Everdale Farm and they are hosting a community food event which features many fun activities for children and adults. Details are below.

See you all on Monday,

Best in lacrosse,
Stephanie

!!Let's Dance!!

Dear Laxer Parents,

Who doesn't have plans for this Saturday night? Ok, well cancel them then...'cause we're having the First Annual Toronto Beaches Lacrosse Club social at the Balmy Beach Club!

Come on out and meet some other club parents and members, hit the dance floor and check out our exciting silent auction goods. Tickets for the 7pm event are only $30 each. All proceeds go to TBLC.

The latest club news about this and other events is on our website: www.beacheslacrosse.com. Check out the lax photos!

Also, there is a possibility of playing the Stars again, on Tuesday June 19; how many of you would be interested? (Good practice before our U-12 June 23rd tournament in Orangeville). Let me know!
