Master Festival

I want to thank everyone who worked the Festival!!! Our team got about $1,000 in water polo balls for our hard work this past weekend!!

Our girls: Alex, Sarah and Eliz did registration, worked the table and checked the players in for Lunch at the Fiesta. Laura helped on Friday. Jill was sick but came out on Sunday to help!! Tony Chanove also helped out at the desk!

Andrew, Jeff, Nabu, Nik, (Laura also helped) supervised our little one making sure we did not lose any balls or caps, they also helped out at the table.

Hunter, Skyler, Connor and Victor did a great job getting the balls and caps for all the team and then making sure we got everything back!!

John and Valerie Melia and Gabby sold T-shirts and refreshments.

Aniko (Adam's mom) made the awards and helped with the programs!

Mark Wasik made the programs!

Mark St John and Vaune Kadlebek taught at the clinic and coached teams.

Joe Pelia and Tere Ma ref the games (John Melia was going to but could not find white long pants and only had white shorts and we took a vote and decided we did not want to see white skinny legs on a cold day - so he shadowed Joe and Tere and will ref when he can find a pair of white long pants)!!!

Rob's Mom

Rob's mom passed away on Sunday Feb5th. She was fighting a battle with cancer - Rob ran the Las Vegas Marathon for her and now in her honor. I think Jenny said it best "I wish my son's were are as nice as Rob is to his mom, when I am older" Rob our thoughts are with your mom, you and your family.

Shannon Keating is collecting for Rob's mom. Some of you asked me to post Rob's email, instead please write to Rob on our blog.
