BOOSTER BOOK VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – AND AN INCENTIVE
Our Parent’s Club is in desperate need of two volunteers to manage our booster book fundraiser. This entails:

• Implementing a centralized process for managing the Club’s outreach to local businesses (each WMC lacrosse family will be responsible for outreach to two or more businesses)
• Drafting email communications
• Tracking receipt of ad artwork and payments and follow-up on any missing items
• Coordinating with Jen Sheppard who will be designing and producing the booster book
• Coordinating printing and distribution of the books

As an incentive for volunteering to manage this important fundraiser for our Club, we will waive this year’s annual player dues ($300) for the first two people willing to take on this role. Please contact Jim VanWoert (jvanwoer@wm.com) and Alison Edwards (aedwards60@comcast.net) ASAP if interested.

ADDITIONAL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
We are in need of volunteers for several other upcoming activities (see list below). If you are interested in helping out, please email Jim VanWoert (jvanwoer@wm.com) and Alison Edwards (aedwards60@comcast.net):

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR A SPECIAL SEASON OPENING GAME AND CHARITY EVENT
The first WMC Boy’s Lacrosse Varsity game of the season is set for Tuesday, 4/4 at 6 pm at WMC vs. Gill St. Bernard’s.
We are using this game as an opportunity to come together as a community to raise funds for two local charities (the Long Valley First Aid Squad and Sarah’s Fight for HOPE Foundation), and to support two local lacrosse families (the Collins and the Fullers) who are going through challenging times.

The theme for this special event is “It’s More Than a Game…It’s a Community”.

We are selling custom game t-shirts for $10 each (all proceeds will go to charity). An image of the shirt is included in this email. Contact Alison Edwards (aedwards60@comcast.net) if you are interested in purchasing.

We will be sharing additional details about this special game shortly; in the meantime, please mark your calendars and encourage friends and family to attend.
