DAY-OF-RIVALS: APRIL 11

For the past 2 years the Men's lacrosse team has pre-purchased 40 tickets to see four top DI schools play in the Face-Off Classic at Ravens Stadium to start the lacrosse season off. This year we will be going to a new event called the Day-of Rivals, also at Ravens Stadium in Baltimore, on April 11. This is a Marshall Lax team event that we want all the players and coaches to participate in. Practice will be scheduled to accommodate the 11:00 am game start time. The games will be Army vs. Navy and Hopkins vs. Maryland. We again have 40 tickets at $15 and we have 10 parking passes at $15 each. Sign up early to reserve your seats by contacting Doug Gehley at dgehley@cox.net. First come first reserve. Carpooling is strongly suggested. This is three weeks away; order tickets now! SALES HAVE PICKED UP; DON'T GET LEFT OUT!

SPIRIT PACKS

Your son was given a form last Friday to bring home and fill out to order his Spirit Pack clothing. To avoid confusion and emails, the following items ARE REQUIRED: 1) Under Armour T-shirt (unless you have one from last year); 2) Game shorts, home and away; 3) Practice jersey (unless you own one from last year. All other items are optional. We have a supply of sweats in-house now. Hats are on sale at the ticket table during home games also or order now. CHECKS AND FORMS ARE DUE BACK THIS WEDNESDAY MARCH 25!

FUNDRAISING

We have two important events for our major fundraising for this year:

1. Programs: these include action photos from games, senior highlights, team photos and of course our supporters advertisements. Each family is required to submit at least one ad for the program and preferably more. Some families collected three or more ads last year. Forms will be passed out at Meet-The-Coaches night Tuesday March 3. ADS ARE DUE THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 27
2. Honey Baked Hams; the Men's Lax team will be selling products from Honey Baked Hams for Easter and Passover. Each player will be required to sell a minimum number of hams or turkeys or make the appropriate donation for the team. The wrestling team made over $800 during the Christmas season doing the same so we hope to clear at least that much. All money goes for much needed equipment that no longer can be supplied by the Activities Office due to budget shortfalls. ORDERS ARE DUE THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 27

SUPPORT THE TEAM - WEAR THE GRIFFIN

Make sure you get a hat and join your fellow lacrosse supporters by wearing them to the games. Let's have the same unity in the stands that the kids have on the field. Hats are $20 and will be sold at the home ticket table or through the spirit packs. Buy a hat and get two Marshall Statesman license plate frames for free. See Doug for your plate frames.
