Parents: Just a few quick things . . .

I know school is starting and we've all had to tighten our belts - it's all expensive, but we need to get some things taken care of.

First, the tournament in Arlington is less than two weeks away, and we still don't have a firm number of those of you who need hotel rooms. If you need a room for the weekend, we need to know ASAP. If you've already told us you need a room, please know that we will be asking for a credit card number in the next few days so we can make the reservations. If you bring your player to practice on Tuesday, please hang around long enough for Chris and I to get your information. We plan to be there for the whole practice on Tuesday.

Second, we MUST order uniforms for those players who need them in the next couple of days. If we don't have your order form and you need something, please make sure you get it to us by Tuesday. If you haven't paid, or have made partial payments, please get the money to us as soon as you can. We don't have enough money in the bank to float the tournament fee and the uniforms.

Finally, our team dues are due the first of each month. I think most of you will agree that we're getting out pretty easy at $35/month. Please understand that we need this money to operate on - no one is getting paid at this point (Coach Don has already spent his own money on the team, and we owe him). I know it's hard to catch us when you're dropping off your player, but if you can, please pay your dues this week. If you've already paid, and many of you have, a big thanks! Also, if you have any paperwork (medical releases, etc) that we've asked for, please get it to us. We need all of this info for the tournament and for our regular roster registration with WTPL.

If you need anything from us, or have any questions, I've listed our cell phone numbers to the left - please don't hesitate to give us a call. Just leave a message if you don't get us, and we'll get back to you. Also, if it's easier for you to mail your dues, our home address is also here on the site. I hope you're all excited about the new school year and our new season - I can't wait for our road-trip! I know it will be an exciting year for Lonestar 97!

Remember: All Black for Tuesday's practice!
