Members of the Lacrosse Community,

We had a great tournament this last weekend.  If you were there, you know.  We are sending this note out to show our appreciation to the teams and all the folks that came together to make it happen.  We run the event to raise money, and give kids a chance to play in the fall.  We work very hard to make sure we keep teams out of trouble with the MHSAA and everyone, including the MHSAA, seems to understand this.  Thank you, it's a great thing. For more details, click HERE.

We are developing an e-mail list for a newsletter that will go out monthly with news, guest blogs, and posting of interest to the Lacrosse Community.  You are getting this e-mail because you are either on that list or were the contact for one of the teams at this years 7v7.  We have added the team contacts names to the e-mail list.  If you do not wish to be on this list, please use the "unsubscribe" feature at the bottom of the list.  We do not sell or give e-mail info out and we only send out our own e-mails.  But we want to reach as many Lacrosse minded people as possible.

I do want to alert all of you of a nice tradition that we have been doing for 4 years now.  This Saturday we will host our Hall Of Fame Celebration to honor five people that have contributed greatly to Lacrosse in Michigan.  It's not to late to get your check in to come and join the fun and camaraderie as we honor, Roger Bunton, Cathy Dritsas, Rob Ambrose, Mary Ann Meltzer, and Graham Adams.  The info is on our website and the link to the flier is
HERE. Members of US Lacrosse get a $10 discount. The space is limited to 100 and each year we get closer to reaching capacity.  This is the Lacrosse party to attend.  There will be great lies, stories, and tall tales told of epic battles and epic after battles.

Please forward this note to people that you think might want to know about the party or will want to get signed up for our newsletter.  The link to get signed up for your e-mail list is
HERE. If you have info such as upcoming camps, tournaments, clinics, job postings for coaches, please let us know.  We will be putting our info as well as other non-USL Michigan info.  We want to help get any lacrosse info out there. You do not have to be a member of US Lacrosse, just someone that wants to know about the game here in Michigan.

Again, thanks to the tournament participants and all that made it happen. 

Clark Bell, President
US Lacrosse Michigan Chapter
