Banquet December 6th

Ladies,

Okay, change of plans. The banquet will be December 6th, regardless of whether or not we join the boys. Mark it on your calendar. Simply put, it's a day we can all meet without a school event conflict. I will try to nail down (with Coach Hiles) where we will do this, so stay tuned.

We'll need to get those uniforms in, too. A couple of you have done so already, but I need the rest.

The yearbook is done, and I have to say I like how it turned out. I still have time to get more pictures in if you want to get them to me. CD format works best. Let me know and we can try to get together.

DONUT RUN!
Ladies, how many plan to do it? This year they are Krispy Kreme, the official donut of all donut races. You won't want to miss out! I will make sure you get a shirt one way or another, though the order has been placed. I have been instructed to tell you there will be race-day registration, if needed.

An alternative plan

Ladies,

There is a chance we may change the dinner.

I was contacted yesterday by Coach Hiles. He is planning for a December 6th dinner. This is still a Thursday, and would avoid any athletic competition. That's a plus, because we have one athlete at least who cannot attend next Thursday. Additionally, we would likely have more room for parents.

The drawback of course is it would be less "just us", which may or may not be an issue in your minds. It would also mean we would have to listen to the boys' awards as they are given. I don't have a problem with that, I support both programs, but you should know it heading in.

So here's the thing... are you interested in sharing the night with the boys? Would you rather do it with just us? Would we need to pick a night everyone can come?

Please, ladies, I need an answer on this one. If you don't state a preference, I will make the choice. Nobody needs THAT to happen...

Banquet

Ladies,

The yearbooks are all but done - all I need are some pictures. They aren't necessary, they'd just make it nicer. I am limited on my photo collection because I was... well, coaching.

The banquet is beginning to look iffy. I have sent numerous e-mails concerning an event, and to be honest, the response has been underwhelming. I know you're all busy, and many have moved on to other sports or activities. It may just be a case of there being too much to do to get it done. I hope I'm wrong, but as I haven't really gotten a strong response, I can only assume I'm not.

Right now I'm inclined to say I will be sitting at Mr. Gatti's in a booth, eating pizza, if anyone wants to show up on Thursday, November 15th, 7 PM. If not, I'll eat my pizza, go jump in the balloon room for a while, cry softly in a corner, then go home. If you can rest with that on your conscience, go ahead. (the jumping in the balloon room part, not the crying)

This is for you, ladies. I would still love to meet with you once more, but if it can't happen, it can't. So, unless I hear something different, my aforementioned plan is the plan. There is still time for some of you to make other plans (if you hold a religious objection to Mr. Gatti's or pizza in general).

We cannot extend beyond November 15th. Winter sports will begin competition, and the chances of us being able to meet beyond that point will be highly unlikely.
