FLCsoccer.com Newsletter
Issue 1
This is being sent to all users with an active account, since we need to take some immediate action on the matter of alumni games!
These are the important details at the moment:
- due to liability concerns, there will no longer be alumni games for any sports
- many other schools simply have participants sign waivers (honestly, who in their right mind sues their alma mater?!? Probably not the people coming back to support the teams during alumni weekend.)
- there will still be an Alumni Weekend, just no games for alumni - unless ...
- every participant provides proof of insurance coverage
- every participant has a physical, within a reasonable period of time
This has been a great weekend in years past for the current teams to meet and bond with some of their predecessors who built these programs into what they are today. Please email your concerns regarding the decision to end this wonderful tradition at FLC, to the Athletic Director, Kent Stanley (stanley_k [at] fortlewis [dot] edu). Please also copy the President, Dr. Brad Bartel (bartel_b [at] fortlewis [dot] edu), and the Director of Alumni Relations, Chris Aaland (aaland_c [at] fortlewis [dot] edu).
If we get some pressure going now, and lots of emails start coming in, I believe the school will have to address the issue and find a way to have some sort of Alumni games. Please pass this along to any other athletes, friends, family, alumni and fans you know that might share these concerns.
There are some further details and commentary on the website,
www.flcsoccer.com. Check back often for updates on the new coach, and any news on the Alumni weekend.
thanks,
