September News Letter Welcome to the September news letter… We are now at the end of the 2007 season and will be closing Hillcrest for the winter… We will be sending out one final notice to everyone for the AGM. Hope to see you there! Finals Day Finals Day was held on Saturday September 8 and Sunday September 9 and was a great success... On Saturday the weather was beautiful, despite the weatherman’s warnings earlier in the week and on Sunday we had a little rain in the morning, but it cleared up quickly. Trophies for players who were not able to be at Finals Day were given to the team coaches to be distributed. Councillor David Shiner Hillcrest’s #1 supporter… THANK YOU! Hillcrest depends on the
availability of our City facilities and services in order to deliver our
soccer program to our members. Part of
the administrative side of our Club, which most people never see, is in the
interacting with the City of David will be running for the
Progressive Conservative Party in the upcoming Provincial Election October 10
and they couldn’t have picked a better candidate. Having represented our community locally
for many years he is very aware of the issues within our community and with
our City. His vast political
experience will serve the Conservative party well and would give our
Community and City an experienced, active voice at Katie’s
Kickoff… A HUGE SUCCESS! New at Finals Day this year was
Katie’s Kickoff. This was a donation based
fund raiser in support of and to raise awareness of The Hospital for Sick
Children. One of our players Katie
Armstrong was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, ARVD (arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia) This is a
rare, hereditary condition in which the cells in the heart attack the right
ventricle turning it into fibrous tissue so it cannot beat properly. It can
cause heart failure and even sudden death. Extremely difficult to diagnose,
Katie had to endure a five hour operation where surgeons worked inside her
heart. Now with daily medication, constant testing and monitoring because of
Sick Kids, Katie currently, has been able to return to sports. She wanted to
give back to the people who work miracles each and every day. Through Katie’s Finals Day efforts $261.44 was raised for Sick Kid’s Hospital despite the rain on Sunday. A huge thank you to all of you who participated. Katie has become an ambassador for Sick Kids, participating in fund raising and media events to help represent the thousands of children who are treated each year in cardiology. During September’s Sick Kids/Argo’s Day, Katie and fellow ambassadors participated in the coin toss and opening kick off at the Toronto Argos game. They are dedicated to “giving back” to help the hospital and children in need of their own miracles. Hillcrest’s Sponsors… THANK YOU! Sponsors are an extremely important part of our organization. Through their generosity, they contribute a significant amount to our operating budget. We owe them a great big thank you for their support of our League.
