Coaches and Friends,

Oh My! March Madness just hit Kids Unlimited today (Sunday) as we just completed the lst day of games for our basketball program. Tom Cole has designed an awesome T-shirt that all of us got along with the kids to commemorate our 6th season. The team jerseys were on board and all games were completed with some juggling by 5:45 p.m. to a capacity crowd of parents and family and with a full complement of Rotary Coaches and friends. As usual, Carol, Gene, Tom, Bob M, Manny, Jeff and Pat were outstanding as refs. Coach Roger was applying Duke strategy to his Oak Grovers. Angie had her girls with their matching wrist bands face guarding their "persons." Gail was our most enthusiastic and supportive coach, Dave directed coach and ref traffic. Tom Cole had the schedule all outlined and the gym and kitchen were humming. Patty Schwendener and Arlene had the scoreboards perfect. Andy, Bob H, Rich, Adam, Ken, Anne, John S, Rick, Judge Lorenzo, and June all coached great teams. I'm sure I missed a few; however our Medford Rogue Rotary came out PROUD.

Core Group: Big meeting this next Tuesday, 8 a.m., Bad Ass. Need to outline our program for Dec. 11

Helpers: Again, we are short this next Wed. afternoon, 2:15 p.m. at Oak Grove for practice with that team in their new gym. I believe Eric and I will be the only Rotarians present. Call or E-mail me if you can help.
