Fundraising
Just a reminder to everyone, Ellendale ( and SYS ) runs on volunteer time and fundraising.
We were fortunate last year to receive quite a bit of money in corporate donations which helped run our organization.
This year we have not been so lucky.
Please check out our fundraising page for things you can do to help.
We have our banner fundraiser which not only helps us out but also provides a nice look to our field.
SYS is running two fundraisers , a Boston Butt Sale and a Golf Tournament please support them if you can.
Also remember to support our Concession Stand , it has been and probably always will be our biggest source of income for the program.
If you have any fundraising ideas please let us know.
Have some time to help the program ? There is always things to do , check with Jessica or Laura and they can point you in the direction you are needed.
We have a great program at Ellendale and with your help it will continue and be even better !

Ellendale Newsletter 8-4-08
Welcome the Ellendale Bears Youth Sports 2008 season. If this is your first year you probably have a ton of questions. The best source for those answers is our website, http://www.ellendalebears.com/ or our football faq http://www.ellendalebears.com/footballfaq
Hot / Bad Weather
Practice in pads has been cancelled today and tomorrow due to the heat.
We will continue to practice in shorts and t-shirt. The rules are that the football commissioner will make his ruling on practices by 3pm the day of practice so you can see trying to call well over 100 children in a 3 hour period is not realistic. Especially considering our coaches and board members have their own full-time jobs to handle as I am sure most of you do. The Breaking News / Blog http://ellendalebears.blogspot.com/ was updated with this information Saturday afternoon before 6pm. The info line 901-313-8352 was updated as well over the weekend with this information.
Please check our websites often to stay up to date with information.
If you do not have internet access please check the info line.
Jersey sizing
If your child has not been fitted for their jersey yet please bring their shoulder pads with them to practice tomorrow.
We will be fitting kids before practice (5:30-6pm) and after practice (8-8:30pm) tomorrow (Tuesday 8-5-08). We have to have our order turned in Wednesday morning so please make sure your child is there with shoulder pads to be fitted.
Schedule
We do not have a game schedule yet and will probably not have it until Monday August 25th. The schedule will be posted on the website as soon as we get it.
E-mail
Several of our coaches have expressed that they would like to keep the primary route of communication between them and the parents via e-mail.
Please remember to check your e-mail regularly for updates from your coaches and team parents.
Future Newsletters
We have decided that printed newsletters will not be the norm this year.
We will still do regular updates that will be on the website and blog as well as e-mail updates. Both the cost involved as well as the fact that for years all of us have watched over half of the printed newsletters be tossed on the ground and never make it to the parent’s hands have pushed us towards this decision. We will make a copy of updates and have them posted at the concession stand for you to read if you do not have internet access.
