PAST EVENTS
PIONEER SPORTS SCHOOL LEAGUE
Rumor has it that Putnam Valley and perhaps even Brewster have interest in joining our group of current schools. They may come in full-fledged, or perhaps, just nibble around the edges to start. Putnam Valley is particularly interested in Track & Field, while Brewster has seemed more interested in the younger set. I will keep you posted as to the workings. I expect to hear more once school starts. We’re almost there, are we not? Speaking of which, did Margo really retire? I heard rumors yes, then not so much…hmmm.
Please call me if anyone wishes to host the pre-season meeting with a date or two in late September or early October that works…preferably a 10:30am or so meeting. If everyone would kindly send a good day (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) email to me as to your preference, I will assemble them and pick out the most conducive for the majority.
Hope you enjoyed your summer!!!
