The Spring Season is winding down and it is time to look forward to another great summer in the Town of Webster.  It has been a great Spring and we have a lot of great information to put out about this past season and our plans for the summer.  
            The biggest news is that Phase III of the Box Improvement project will be completed this Summer!  We have purchased bleachers and the sound system.  The bleachers are being shipped and should arrive this week.  As in the past we will schedule a “work party” once they arrive to assemble them for anyone with a socket wrench who wants to help out.  We did it with both private and corporate donations and fund raising through the Yankee Candle sales. 
      
           It is the culmination of more than a decade of planning and hard work by Webster families, like you, coming together to make it happen.  No other Town in the entire County has a facility like it, solely dedicated to lacrosse.  It says a lot about our Club, our members and families, our heritage and the collaborative support we received from the Town over the years.  There is still work to be done but it is not too early to say thank you to all of you for the hard work.  It really is something special.             We have some great Alumni news to put out from the college ranks.  Leading the field is Cody Consul (Schroeder) making the First Team all SUNYAC team for SUNY Cortland.      Consul  registered 24 goals and 20 assists for 44 points in the regular season.    Cody is followed by another SUNYAC post season selection, Troy Crevier (Thomas) who was named to the Second Team All-SUNYAC as a freshman at Oswego State.
      
      Out of the Empire 8 Conference, comes a pair of defensemen.   Webster Schroeder alum Jake Spadoni finished his senior year at Alfred University as a First Team all-E8 recipient.  Joining Jake on the all E8 team is St. John Fisher Junior defensemen Tim Blood, a former All American JUCO transfer from MCC. 
      
      Finally, in Division II, Mark Saltrelli of Webster Schroeder made an appearance at the NCAA Championship.  He plays for the Merceryhurst Lakers.  The Lakers came up a goal short against the Lemoyne Dolphins in the finals.  Congratulations to all alumni on another great year.
              The Webster Lacrosse Club will meet in the second week of June to vote on awarding the Gary Crandall Scholarship.  It will be awarded at the Webster Classic held on June 29, 2013.  All graduating seniors are encouraged to get their packets completed ASAP and into Steve Gaglio, the WLC Scholarship Chairmen so they can be presented to the Board in time for the vote.             Plans for the Webster Classic are set for June 29, 2013.   You will all be sent information about volunteer opportunities for the Classic.  There will be opportunities for Field Set-up, concessions, Clean Up and Parking Lot attendance among others.  Participation is the standard.  It is the norm.  Don’t be abnormal.  For more information about the tournament go to: http://websterclassic.com
              With the completion of Phase III, we are looking forward to our 3^rd Season of Summer Time at the box, including a competitive 18 and older Men's Summer League and Two  competitive scholastic leagues for middle school through high school on both sides of Town.  Last year we had several high school and college All-Americans playing in the men’s league and several DI and DIII commits playing in the high school league.

            The Men’s League is open to all Club members who have completed their Senior Year of high school including this year’s graduating class.  College aged alumni, whether playing in college or not are encouraged to sign up.  The cost is $25.00 per person which includes a Summer Time at the Box WLC Tanker.  

            The High School and Middle School Box leagues are being run by the High School coaches, Coach Ruller (Thomas) and Coach McGurk (Schroeder).  It is open to anyone who is eligible to play modified through varsity lacrosse NEXT year.  That means this year’s 6^th graders are eligible.  Their first chance to join Warrior and Titan family as they “rise” out of our Youth Program.  Participation in the scholastic league is limited to WCSD residents and children of employees of the School District.      
 
            This year the Varsity Coaches, Coaches McGurk and Ruller will run their Summer Camp through the Webster Lacrosse Club instead of the Town Parks and Recreation.   They will run it very much like the past but our Club will take over administrative responsibility for registration.  No experience is necessary.  Registration is open to all kids in the WCSD and children of WCSD employees.  Registration is online only.  To register, go to the Orange Registration tab on this page. 
 
            We are now less than a year away for the WEBLAX 50  Celebration.  There is a facebook interactive link: http://www.facebook.com/WebLax50.  Please feel free to post any feed back to help shape the weekend.  It is coming into focus and should be a memorable event.  Heritage counts.  It matters.  It defines us and it will carry on for the next generation.  
            In closing remember to take time to enjoy the summer.  To our graduating seniors, it has been a real pleasure watching you kids rise up from the house leagues to be the young men you have turned out to be.  We look forward to seeing you in our alumni events down the road.
 
            To our new and returning families, we hope you have enjoyed the spring and will take the time to step forward and get more involved in our volunteer opportunities throughout this next  year.  We are a fun organization, always looking for new ways to improve.  We look forward to seeing you all out in the tournaments and camps this summer.   GO WEBSTER!!!

The bleacher project is completed!  Our families and friends (i.e. spectators) packed our new bleachers and many shared their favorable comments.  We would like to thank all the volunteers that gave up their personal time to make our bleachers a reality.  You guys are awesome!

The most rewarding aspect of the bleachers is they will be at our box for many years to come and will be used by future generations of lacrosse fans and players.

Thank you to those that contributed to the fundraising efforts, those that built the bleachers, our Board of Directors for approving the project and to Dick Baran for developing and leading the project.
