Shorepals Meeting:
We have our next Shorepals meeting scheduled for Tuesday May 14th at 7:30 p.m. at Las Cazuelas in the Landings. We need to make plans for the Father's Day events and get volunteers for the various committees along with starting to work through to do lists for those committees. Hope to see you there!!
Happy Mother's Day:
I would like to wish a late Happy Mother's Day to all our Shoregal moms who really make this program work and have given me a lot of assistance over the years. I came across a post on a soccer blog that I would like to share with everyone by an individual named Jack Heffron:
Say Thanks to Soccer Mom
By Jack Heffron on May 11, 2012.
The soccer mom. We all know her. She’s the frazzled-looking gal wheeling the minivan or SUV into the parking lot next to the fields behind the school. As the door flings open and a handful of kids tumble out, she shouts things like “Don’t forget your water bottle” and “I’m taking your sister to her practice and then I’ll be back.”
According to the stereotype, she’s sort of dull and conventional. Her life is mostly a matter of quickly prepared dinners and frantically rushing around the neighborhood dropping off and picking up kids at their games and practices.
It’s a stereotype so pervasive that we know longer actually see these real-life women in their countless variety. Nor do we appreciate enough all the things they do to keep the youth sports wheels turning. Without them, in fact, those wheels surely would grind to a halt. They take care of their own kids and keep an eye out for every member of the team. They can be counted on to cheer, to provide post-game snacks, to make sure the kids are hydrated and safe and happy. They keep score. Some are coaches. All are invaluable.
With Mother’s Day coming up, I thought we should take a few minutes to truly see these women and to say thank you. On Mother’s Day, thank the Soccer Moms who you know. It’s not always a fun job, and gratitude is rarely part of it.
Video of the Week:
We are going to continue with videos from the past season and this week we will be featuring another JV game. This game was against North Olmsted and the Shoregals came out on top in this one by a score of 1-0. The game winning goal was scored by Casey Baughman and assisted by Kayla Kress at the 15:30 mark in Part 3.
