A delicious dinner...

All players and parents are welcome to attend our fishing trip to Lake Taneycomo Nov. 20.

We will meet in the Grant Street parking lot at 11 AM and leave by 11:15 AM. Participants are encouraged to carpool; there will not be a bus. We should be on the water from 12:30-3:30 PM and return home by 4:30 PM or so.

I am pleased to announce that Lilley’s Landing Resort in Branson has very generously offered us use of their dock and three or four pontoon boats for our outing! We are asked only to cover the cost of fuel for the boats. They operate a full-service fly and tackle shop, so you will be able to purchase your license and tackle there when we arrive.

Here is a checklist of reminders to do before the trip:

• Obtain a valid Missouri state fishing license.
• Purchase appropriate bait and tackle. Night crawlers and Power Bait are good choices for bait fishermen. Small treble hooks with springs around the shanks are good for Power Bait.
• Bring money and food.
• Dress appropriately. It likely will be chilly.

Tight lines,

Nurnberg

Also, here are a couple of reminders:

• Boys and Girls Middle School Night: I have reserved the conference room at Lake Country for 6:30 PM next Thursday (Feb. 3) for a joint booster club meeting. We need to meet to plan the itinerary for the M.S. soccer night at Parkview Feb. 10. We also need to create slide show/DVD presentation for the evening. Boys’ boosters can discuss the kids’ camp, and girls can plan the spring events calendar and game-day shirt designs. Officers need to give a financial status update.
• Sock and warm-up order: Girls, I especially need your socks quantity because I have to give J&K a total quantity around Feb. 1 so we have the socks in time for the season. You can pay for them later in February, but please tell me how many socks you want by Tuesday.
• PHYSICALS? All girls must have an up-to-date parent permission form/doctor’s physical on file by Feb. 25. Doctor’s physicals are still valid if completed on or after Feb. 1, 2010. Otherwise, make arrangements to get the physical before the end of the February. Girls who are not prepared to participate the first day of practice (Feb. 28) will be putting themselves in position to be overlooked for varsity spots and for playing time in general. The form is attached.
• Activity Fee: All athletes must pay the activity fee to play sports during the school year. The once-a-year fee covers athletes who play multiple sports, so girls who played a fall or winter sport don’t need to pay it again. The fee is $50; students on Free/Reduced Lunch pay $25, and the office can arrange a payment plan if requested. Arrangements to pay the fee must be made before Spring Break.

Take care,

Nurnberg

I need your sock requests ASAP so J&K Soccer can get them ordered—they take 30 days to arrive after we order them, so I need to do this the first week of February.

Jackets and pants will be ordered on February 15. Money should be sent with the order form.

If you buy one of each on this order, you’ll save about $25 compared to retail pricing.

Thanks,

Clint
