High School Team

NOAH Families:  I want to thank you for your participation and support with our pre-game meals.  As mentioned in our pre-season email, our roster is significantly smaller than in previous years, and we need every family’s participation with this project.    Several months ago, we passed around a sign-up sheet and gave each family the opportunity to pick their preferred dates to volunteer.  Most of you did this, and this was a tremendous help with our planning, but for those of you who did not do the pregame signup we have to plug your name in where we have the need.
 
Having said that, we need to bring a few points to your attention that are hindering this project:  
 
• We cannot accommodate every family’s schedule.  This is your responsibility to know your sign-up dates.  Please take a moment and call Sharon Craig at 918-630-7366 to find out your dates and/or to sign-up.
 
• Weekly emails are sent to those who have signed-up with the request for a reply.  When you do not reply, we are put in the position to have to call you.  Neither of us have the extra time to make several phone calls, nor do we want to.
 
• Every week we have someone who has forgotten.   When you forget, we have 15 players who did not get to eat.  I can’t stress enough the importance of having this meal before a game.  
 
• Your food needs to be dropped off at the designated place of departure.   Unfortunately, bringing it later will not work.  Again, this leaves players without a meal.  They can’t eat right before a game.  So it is imperative that you have the food at the designated departure site.
 
• If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot make the sandwiches – remember, your player knows how to make them and bag fruit.
 
• While many of us volunteer in other capacities within NOAH, this project is separate from those other areas.  Again, every family needs to provide sandwiches, fruit, and water two separate times during the season.   No-one is exempt from helping with this project. 
 
Again, we thank you for your support.  If you have any questions, please let us know.
