LIWSA AGM May 25th: New Blood Required
The Annual General Meeting of the LIWSA is Sunday May 25th 3-5PM at the Juan de Fuca Golf Clubhouse and all teams MUST have a representative attend. The LIWSA is also in need of fresh blood on the Executive as most members, including Pres., VP & Treasurer are stepping down. This is the time when YOU have to GIVE back. Please consider running for one of the open positions. Further details can be found in the open letter from VP Mary Crouch sent out to all team managers and coaches, as well as forwarded by myself, to players that I have email addresses for. If you did not see this letter and are a member of the the LIWSA, please request from your team coach/manager.

Gear & Uniform Return
The season is now over and it is time to re-group for the NEXT season. In that endeavour, coaches and managers have been requested to gather up uniforms and gear, for accounting purposes. You can help by returning your jerseys & shorts to your team manager, as soon as possible. This allows us, as a club to judge our needs for next season and plan accordingly. Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Club AGM May 26th 7PM: Postponed Two Weeks
The Club's Annual General Meeting will be held on Monday May 26th at 7PM, at the Clubhouse. New elections will be held for all officer and director positions, so it is important for all club members to come out to vote and to also consider running for a position of responsibility. The incumbent President and Treasurer intend to run again, but there are open vacancies for the Vice President and Secretary positions, that must be filled.
The AGM and elections are an important part of what makes an Association such as ours. By law we must meet these commitments to prove that we exist and that we are a viable organization. It is also a requirement to enable us in our application for BC Gaming Grant funds. A Club is also about it's members and for that reason, the AGM is also about you! It's a forum to ask questions or to influence direction. It is also a forum to commit yourselves, to this Club. Please consider running for office and/or as a director.
Wednesday Night Kick Around
The D4 Greens are squatting on Lansdowne MS fields, dodging softballs, on Wednesday nights 6:30PM, starting Apr 16th. They welcome any and all who would like to join them for these informal sessions. A great way to stay fit & footy shape, if you are not playing any form of summer soccer.
T Shirts & Hoodies
Vic West FC will be carrying T Shirts and pull over hoodies for sale at the Clubhouse. Both are forest green with the club logo over the left breast. The T Shirts are screened and the hoodies are embroidered and sell for $15 and $33 respectively. There are limited sizes at present but will stock as demand dictates and in any event can be ordered and delivered in a very short time frame. We also have a retro track jacket that sells for $42 and is available by order only. Samples of all three items are on display behind the bar.
Vic West Gear Available for Order

HOW TO TELL IF CITY FIELDS ARE OPEN
The City does not have a hotline number to call with respect to field closures. You can check the status at http://www.victoria.ca/sportsfields/index.php . You will have to register with your email address and a self assigned password. For the various clubs and regions on southern Vancouver Island, the homepage of the VISL www.visl.bc.ca , has extensive links to the same, providing up to date field conditions and/or telephone hotline numbers.
