Dear Team:

A lot more information.

UNIFORMS

My wife will be picking up the uniforms this afternoon.  They will be available for pickup this evening between 6:15 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. at 20 Beech Tree Lane, Pelham Manor.  For those who can't pick them up tonight, I will have the remainder with me at the team photo session at 10:00 a.m. at Prospect Hill tomorrow.  (I will try to arrive early.)  I will bring anything left over to the game at 12 noon tomorrow.

ARRIVE AT TOMORROW'S GAME BY 11:30 A.M.

Ordinarily I would like everyone at the field before a game one hour to 45 minutes in advance of game time.  Because of the parade and photograph session tomorrow and the fact that the game is in White Plains, I would like to have everyone at the field no later than 11:30 a.m. tomorrow.  (Field directions are immediately below.)

DIRECTIONS TO GAME FIELD

Directions:  Delfino Park is located on Lake Street in White Plains, NY and shares the grounds with the Ebersole Ice Rink.  Take Hutchinson River Parkway North approximately 10 miles and take Exit "26W / Westchester Ave West / White Plains (I-287 W)" to enter I-287 West.  According to the League Web Site, from I-287 West, take Exit 6 (Rt 22 / Broadway), make a left turn at the exit ramp then take the next left onto Broadway.  Travel 1/2 mile on Broadway then turn onto Lake Street.  Delfino Park will be ahead, about 1/2 mile on the right.

IN CASE OF RAIN

I have obtained the contact information for the opposing team's coach and for the league President.  In the event of rain, please keep a very close eye on your email.  If the game is called due to field conditions, I will announce it via email first.  As soon as I can get to an Internet-connected computer, I will update the team Web site.  I believe we will get the game in tomorrow.  They are calling only for scattered showers tomorrow. The rain tonight is not expected to be that bad.
