Turf gets Full Green Light!

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

Lakehill now has full approval from Saanich to start building the turf field at Braefoot.  Many thanks to our President, Derek Paul for navigating through the issues and preconditions to get this project kicked off.

To those of you who have already put your names forward to help with the project, you will be contacted shortly. To those of you with some time between summer vacation, our Volunteer Coordinator would love to hear from you.

Referees Needed...

Now is the time to begin thinking about getting your Referee certification!

Al Moir, our new Referee Coordinator, has posted the following notification for those interested in officiating for Lakehill.

The pay is good, the people are nice and training is provided.  What more could you ask for?

Volunteers

Now is the perfect time to dust off your volunteer cap! As the season more or less draws to a close, and we think of all the things that have gone well (or not so well) since September (or earlier), some of the people who have spent the last year or three counting, sorting, phoning, and organizing would love to be able to relay all their lessons learned (plus maybe a few war stories) to the people who will take over for them.

Take a minute to contact someone on the Executive Board to find out how you can help.
