Hello all,
The name's Scott and I'm the captain of the gold team. I'm writing this post asking for your support so I can attend the Deaflympics as part of the United States Deaf Water Polo team. I have established a fundraising website at www.giveforward.org/taipeibound.
Before I explain about the website, I would like to take the time and explain to you why I am asking for your support. As part of USDWP, one has to fundraise our own way seeing that we do not get any financial support. The cost of the trip that will begin on August 25th and run for three weeks is approximately $4,500. That will cover the round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Taipei, room and board for three weeks, and several miscellaneous expenses.
Now this is where you come in play, I am using GiveForward.org for several reasons. I used to intern there and with their support, they have allowed me to use their services at a low fee. All you need to do to contribute is to go to www.giveforward.org/taipeibound, and put down how much you want to contribute. From there, you will enter some information and I will be able to get your donation. Even 5 dollars helps me get closer to the funds needed. This is a tax-deductible donation and you will be presented with the USDWP tax id number.
We are shooting for the GOLD medal and with your support, we can achieve it! Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. If you are willing to help, I am willing to help.

Where's The Love???
+
=
March 20th marks the official beginning of Spring, a season classically associated with renewal and rebirth, where the birds chirp and the flowers come out to bloom. For the players of CA Big Surf, Spring couldn't come at a better time! The cold heart of Winter is beginning to thaw, and with it, the thought of love ... or maybe kickball lust ... is starting to fill the air.
At Skybox, questions are flying around like little red cups about the relationship status of various players. Whether you're newly single or perennially unattached, now is a great time to go talk to that boy or girl you've been wondering about. Kickball hookups have been well documented in the past, Kelsey and Joel, Phil and Liz, Mark Correa and ... well, anything that moved, basically ... who will be next to take their place amongst kickball's power couples? You never know, it might be you!

Mid-Season Madness!
Our kickball season is off and running!
A great game was played by all on Thursday. We are really starting to see some people shine on the kickball field. Hmmm...I wonder which players will be voted into the All-Star game? Better start your campaigning now!
As we get closer to the playoffs, the tension is rising and the stakes are getting bigger. Which team will ultimately take on the glory of being reigning CA Big Surf champions? We will soon find out. Thus far we have the red team in first place, the blue and black team tied for second, and the yellow team bringing up the rear. But there are still many games to be played and many scores to be evened; no team's standing is safe!
Kickballers wreaking havoc at Sky Box Sports Grill after the games continued for yet another week. On Thursday evenings the Sky Box Sports Grill is transformed into a blur of red, yellow, blue and black shirts, all centered around the sacred "flip cup" table. Voices are raised, tears are shed, and beer is chugged, but in the end its all worth it to see your fellow kickballers doing "The Worm" across the 10+ foot long flip cup table.
Don't forget that the mid-season party is Saturday March 7 from 2-5 p.m. at Players Sports Bar, located at 7061 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. We will also be at Boomers (across the parking lot from Players) starting at 1 p.m. How can you possibly turn down an afternoon full of go karts, miniature golf, bumper boats, laser tag and drinking?
P.S - Did somebody say something about an 80's prom theme for the end of season party? ;)
