Just a note to say Thank you!! To everyone who participated in the 2008 NCR Area Event. We found it interesting to say the least that we had to deal with a major snow storm the last weekend of April! We did not have to cancel any of the sites and the vast majority of teams showed up to play! It was a very successful event and again thanks to all of the teams, players, coaches, and parents who participated! Also a huge thank you to all of our site directors and vendors who were able to make some very last minute adjustments and still keep the event as successful as it was!! Hope to have all of the teams back next season!
