October / November Payments Due:
Please make sure you make you tuition payment of $100 before November 1st so the Team has funds in the bank to pay
for tournament down payments. We want to make sure we are in all the tournaments we want to be in and this requires Team commitments and down payments before the end of this year.
Web Site:
The web site www.14ubadapples.com is up and running and constantly updated. Please explore the entire site and share with your daughters! The photos and videos pages should be a BIG HIT with the girls.
If you need hi-def versions of any photo’s, please let Mark know.
The password for the communications page when requested is appleseed
New Business / Discussion:
The meeting minutes will be sent out to all the Bad Apple family's via email this week & posted on the web site – password protected. The password when requested on the web site is appleseed ( all lower case )
The NEXT Parent Meeting will be held at the Goodrich School, 7 pm on Monday November 18th.
The directions page on this web site has the site details.
We are looking for donations and help on creating 'themed' gift baskets for the Pasta Supper. Any new items, baskets, decorations or creative ideas are welcome.
Please note that your tuition down payment of $100 is due on or before November 1st. Please make checks payable to "Bad
Apples" Tuition is set at $300 for the 2013/14 season. The second installment is not due until after the New Year, probably Feb 1st 2014.
At some point we need birth certificates for all new players. Returning players already have paperwork on file. This is not urgent but I just want to give you enough time to get to us by December. We will need these for ASA registration for 2014.
Thanks
