WE ARE NOW REGISTERING KIDS FOR YOUTH GAELIC FOOTBALL

U-8 Through U-14 --- Where Are Yours?

We know who you are.  You’re the member with the son, daughter or grandchild who doesn’t play Gaelic football.   You’ve seen this before in the newsletter, and thought about getting them involved but somehow it just never happened.  You support club and county from home, know the players by name, and follow Hoganstand and the back pages of the Echo and the Emigrant.  Your very own, however, seem to be too busy with baseball and soccer so you don’t push the issue.  Well now’s the time to change that!  We have a great roster for 2008, but still need to broaden our player base to ensure that we can field all our games.  We are active in New York Minor Board GAA fall and spring league.  We have made it to the finals and fully plan to do so again.  We want your youngster to go there with us!  So, put your foot down this time because we need all the feet we can get! Contact Registrar Wendy Mackey at wendy.mackey@yale.edu or at 457-1130 today!
