Re: Update for the 2009 season

 

Hello all,
 
Well its that time of year again (but you wouldn't know it if you were outside today) where we are gearing up for our track season. Fred, Eileen, Mary Lou, Mac, Mike, and myself met last night to discuss our up coming season. Please read the following very important information:
 
1. Fee for 2009 will be $150.  This includes funds to pay for defibulator and replace some equipment.  If defibulator grant is forthcoming, funds will be replaced to account and next year's fee would reflect the refund.
 
2. If Fred and Jim do not get some help with officiating meets, particularly a new starter or two, and a head finish line official it is possible that we would have to pay two officials for some meets. If this would be the case the SITA fee will be raised to $200.00 which would be a of $50.00 increase.
 
3. The mandatory coaches meeting is Wednesday, March 18th, 6:30 PM at Hoak's on the Lake. 
 
4. Black out dates are due to Mike Fitz (mfitz2525@yahoo.com) by Friday, February 13, 2008 (NO EXCEPTIONS).  One blackout date will be honored, a second can be submitted but  is not guaranteed. Please do not submit more than 2 dates.
 
5. If any coaches are not returning please forward this info to the new coach or school.  Ask new coaches to reply to this e-mail  with e-mail address, , school, name and phone number ASAP.
 
6. Meets will begin on Wednesday, April 22, 2009.
 
7. Tentative Championship dates are May 16, 17 and 18.
 
8. Please check our website for all further information www.sitasite.org. It is updated as soon as we have new information.
 
9. We are looking into utilizing the new Canisius High School track due to the availability of Orchard Park, East Aurora, and St Francis.
 
10. The all SITA meet this year will consist of the TOP 3 finishers from the championship relays and field events. The top 4 will be taken for sprints!
 
11. Bubble gum relay ribbons will be handed out at the finish line, not at the scoring table!
 
We look forward to seeing all our old friends and many new ones for the upcoming season. Hope your all doing well and see you on MARCH 18TH, 2009 @ 6:30PM at Hoak's.
 
God bless,
