16 Hawks Hawks Roll On and Win (4/18/10)
16 Hawks continue rolling through the 2010 season. Coach Heather got her first tournament win leading the Hawks at Withrow Court. I've always said the 16 Hawks revolve around no one person, whether the head coach or a player. We just reload and push forward. With Coach AL out of state Coach Heather stepped up, made key adjustments, and led the Hawks to victory. This is a well-oiled machine, with Heather dishing out sets to the big guns, Chole, Rebecca, Alex, Kylie, and Vanessa. These hitters just keep coming, like a shark smelling blood. But it all starts with the pass. I can't say enough on how Becca, Taylor, Jessica and Hannah keep feeding the ball up. If you can't pass you can't pound. A lot of individual first names and when it all comes together, the team name everyone knows is 16 Hawks... [tournament report]

Strong Kids Fundraiser
Parents, coaches and players: I'm Luanne Hubbard, and I coach the 13 White team. I am also a volunteer for Hamilton Hospice and the West YMCA. I was asked to join in the Strong Kids Campaign for the YMCA. It is a fund raiser to offer kids and families in need the chance to make positive and healthy choices in their life. It provides scholarships for them to be able to belong to programs the YMCA offers. These programs include day camp, water safety, youth sports, and after school care. The YMCA is a nonprofit, volunteer founded, volunteer based, and volunteer led. 100% of the money raised goes to the fund. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford to raise my children in the YMCA program, where their goal is wellness. They define wellness in terms of spirt, mind, and body, regardless of background, race, age, ability, or socioeconomic status. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to belong. So I'd like to invite you in join ing me to pledge to donate toward the Strong Kids Campaign. Your contribution can be restricted to a certain branch or program of the YMCA. Pledge forms are available through me. You can contact me at volleylu@cinci.rr.com, or you may contact your local YMCA branch, or Kim Munafo, V.P. of Development at 513-317-0103. Feel free to call or write if you have any questions. Thank you for your time, community involvement, and consideration!

Oxford LaRosa's
We are happy to announce the renewal of our relationship with the Oxford LaRosa's restaurant. In the past, The LaRosa's in Oxford was generous enough to give our club 15% of every dine-in check that the guest mentioned Borderline Junior Volleyball. Unfortunately, the restaurant temporarily closed and we were without this sponsorship.
The new owner/managers are being very generous to our club. They have agreed to the previous arrangement, and will offer specials at our tournaments, plus provide our pizzas for the concession stands at our events. Please show your appreciation to LaRosa's this weekend by taking members of your team to the restaurant after our scrimmage. The front dining area is available for reservations of up to 30 people.
