The Beginning of a New Season...

A new season is upon us... and we're off to a great start!

On Sunday, Budd Bay RFC officially kicked off it's 11th year. Despite the heat, a number of ruggers and supporters gathered to review the '08-'09 season, elect a few new officers and take care of business for the coming year. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed some good food, thanks to Pat & Jackie Norton and Kaya Wilcox.

Congratulations to the officers that were affirmed. Many thanks to these hard working folks who will lead us through the next year or so. They are:
President - Dan Smith
Vice President - Chris Cousins
Treasurer - Erin Louis
Secretary - Amanda Haines
Senior Rep - Debbie Lainfiesta
Youth Rep - Tom Cusack
Fields Coordinator - Kyle McKown
Director-at-Large: Dr. Monti Sorem
Director-at-Large: Mike Steenhout

I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to an exciting fall season!

Till next time.... stay cool!
