Here are some upcoming things to think about:

1) No practice next week.  Happy Father's Day-everyone enjoy yourselves.

2) July 19th there are Two 7's tournaments.  There are a couple of tournaments earlier.  On July 19th (Saturday) there is the NJ 7's in north Jersey, and the Surfside 7's in Cape May NJ.  We will need to get our $200 registration fee in and reserve our place in the high school bracket (if one is still available) soon.  It's popular for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the location.  Respond back to me please if you can play and want to enter the tournament. We need 7 at least, and ideally will want 10-12 to come along (12 is the maximum roster, but it's good if the whole team can make it for support and to see it up close).

3) Start thinking about the fundraiser.  Frank Robinson has offered to help with it and the theme will be a "Folk Festival".  We need a catchy name and will need to arrange to use the hall.  Our Rugby players will play instruments, sing, dance, etc., and we will have food and fun and hope to raise a few dollars for the club.

4)  Also-best of luck to the Field Hockey team for the girls of Mater Ecclesiae that is just getting started.  Quite a few of the Sisters, Mothers, and Daughters of our rugby family will be involved in this.  Should make our burgeoning tailgating an even more festive occasion come fall.

With all that in mind, the week after Father's day we will hold practice for both the Little Gryphons and the High School team.  We will plan (barring extreme heat or tornado or whatever else gets thrown at us) to have burgers, chips, and drinks available for anyone 

hungry after high mass under a tent out on the edge of the rugby pitch.  Thank you to those who offered to help with the grilling, I hope the offers stand when we meet next on the 6th Sunday of Pentecost.
