"I'm just a volunteer...."
"I'm just one of those unpaid people who have spent many hours making sure that your child has a safe, competitive place to play. I've sacrificed time with my own family to insure you can have a quality time with yours. When your child shows up to play, I'm the one that made sure everything was ready, when you go home, I'm the one who cleans up after you. I'm the one who organized the facilities, the equipment, the officials, your coaches, and your teammates. I can't control the weather, the outcome of games, or the actions of individuals, yet I take the blame for everything that goes wrong. My job wouldn't be so difficult if more people decided to volunteer. We need more hands, good ideas, strong workers, and leaders with vision. Instead of pointing out our problems, become part of the solution and volunteer today."

ON DEMAND PHOTOGRAPHY
Our club has been using On Demand Photography for a few years, formerly known as Terry Honeycutt Photography. We have been very pleased with the quality & service that we have recieved from them. There have been few problems and all have been handled very well through them. Normally we schedule pictures and hand out a picture packet along with a note showing your teams photo time slot. You must prepay for the picture packet you choose and they take approximately 2 - 3 weeks to come back. Meanwhile, we get picture buttons to sell to you & your family. They are 2 buttons for $5 or 1 button for $3. We normally keep the pictures until we have the banquet for that sport. This is to make sure we have everyone present to give out photos & trophies. --- It is very difficult for us to carry around 80-120 picture packets in order to try to catch parents at practice. Please understand that we risk bending the photos - this is our reason for holding them until the banquet.
