2009 Season News:  Press-release from Puget Sound Region-USAV

PSR Tryout Dates Set:
The Junior Advisory Board met August 19th and set the tryout dates for the upcoming season. WIAA changed their schedule and to avoid conflicts with high school programs, the region has set the following dates for tryouts:

• U14 & under - First day of tryouts is Saturday, Nov 15

• U15 & older - First day of tryouts is Monday, Dec 1. 

We have also decided to drop the Letter of Commitment due to the expanded time for tryouts. Language will be added to the Girls Division Handbook that players cannot be forced into a commitment at the time of the tryout.

SpaceNeedle will anounce tryouts date soon.

Congratulations to SNVF Fuze for their great performance at the Emerald City Classic Tournament. Our team played in the two day tournament, finishing undefeated.

The First Lady of Peru, Mrs. Pilar de Garcia came to Seattle on Sunday morning to meet with the Heads of the Peruvian Community here in Seattle. She also meet with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

We got together at the Peruvian Consulate. She came to present her program that is called “Sembrando” This program is to help the less fortune people in Peru. She is helping the people on the Highlands (Sierra) from 2,500 meters and up, people that generally don’t have electricity, drinking water, restrooms. These people probably cook and sleep in the same little room, they don’t have very much and they don’t know what is happening outside of their world. 4 out of 5 of the Children at this altitude are under nutrition.

She explained to us her Program. She said that “My program is all about this”:

First, we will educate the mothers, because the mother is the one who taka cares the family. We will educate the mother about proper hygiene.  How important and necessary it is to boil the water before drinking it and to clean their hands before they eat.  We will teach them to read and write.

Secondly, they will teach them to build a kitchen so they don’t have to breathe the smoke from the wood stove. Many of them have pulmonary problems because of the smoke. Also we will build bathrooms, however the most important part is that they are going to take all parasites out from their tummies, and to finish all the gastro intestinal infection that they are having and cause numerous health problems and deaths among them.

That is the beginning of the project, and of course that they are going to need clothes, food and money

I really love this program I think is great!

Mrs. Pilar program is not part of the Peruvian Government, she has her own Foundation and she is working very hard for it.

I hope that we can help this wonderful program.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
