Banquet Info (RSVP by Oct. 15)

Hello all CA Volleyball Families - We are looking forward to hosting the Volleyball Banquet at our house on October 21st at 6 PM.  So that we can plan for food, if you would please send me a count of how many people will be attending in your family no later than October 15th, I would really appreciate it.  

Many of you have asked how you can contribute....  I would like to take up a voluntary donation to help cover the expenses.  We will have a box at the event or you can mail it to my house at 7178 Greensward Road, New Albany, OH 43054. 

Nikki Smith has graciously offered to make the food for the event and Yamani Gunawardena is getting a special cake designed.  If you have never had Nikki's food you are in for a huge treat!  She is one of the best cooks I know!!  And I had the pleasure of trying one of the cakes that Yamani is bringing several years ago. It was wonderful! :-) 

Please do not hesitate to call or email me if you have any questions.  614-946-9532 or Tonia.Irion@e-cycle.com

Best,
Tonia Irion (Olivia #5)

Volleyball Updates

Dear Families,

This is our last week of our official schedule!  I can't believe how fast time has gone this season!  We have a busy week ahead of us with two home matches and an away match on Thursday.  Just a reminder that Tuesday is SENIOR NIGHT!  So, let's pack the stands for our three special seniors!  Also, I have updated the team calendar for the Varsity team with our tournament date and practice schedule for the upcoming weeks!  Please be sure to check the online team calendar and schedule any appointments accordingly, as we hope to have our full team for the remainder of our practices!

Our tournament date is set, but we will wait to see our opponent and site of the match.  For more information about the tournament and brackets go to www.cdab.org.

Also, our banquet has been set!  It will be October 21 at 6:00pm at the Irion's house.  I'd like to give a special thanks to the Irion family for hosting.  I'm sure Polly will follow up with any needed details!  Thanks to all of you for your support, help during the matches, and enthusiasm for our volleyball teams!
