Pumpkin Classic Volunteers Needed
The SVLA 10th annual tournament, The Pumpkin Classic, is being held Sunday October 14th, and we are in need of your support. Nineteen teams will be playing 38+ games throughout the day and we are looking for volunteers to assit with this event.

Ball Boys Needed
We are in need of ball boys to work the end lines of each field/game. We are asking players to work a 2 hour shift (2 games back to back). Players must wear their helmet and bring their stick. All ball boys will receive a Pumpkin Classic t-shirt in appreciation of their participation. If your son is available to assist email: Adam Alexander at aalexander@masteryworks.com

Parent Volunteers Needed
On tournament day we will need many volunteers to work 1 and 2 hour shifts in the following areas:

Concession stand workers - work a 2 hour shift. Shifts run from 8-10, 10-12, 12-2, 2-4, 4-Close. 6 to 10 people needed per shift.
Game time keepers - Work a 2 hour shift - 4 volunteers needed for the day.
Game managers - One volunteer per game. Responsible for keeping penalty time, game score and reporting results. Five volunteers needed per hour between the hours of 9-4.

The game managers and time keepers jobs are not difficult and you need no significant lacrosse knowledge to perform these jobs. So please don't hesitate to volunteer for one of these jobs. Instructions will be provided to all the day of the tournament.

If you are already traveling to the HS to bring your son for his Ball Boy shift, please consider spending the 2 hours volunteering to support one of SVLA's largest fundraisers.

Please respond with the tournament-day help you can provide (concessions, game manager, time keeper) to Doug Cundiff at svyouthlacrosse@yahoo.com with area of interest and available times. Your assistance is needed so please respond to Doug today.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Pumpkin Classic T-Shirt Contest
The Seneca Valley Lacrosse Association will hold our annual fall Lacrosse tournament called the Pumpkin Classic on October 14, 2012. Every year we design a t-shirt specifically for this event. We are looking for someone to design this year's tournament T-Shirt. Do you have any great ideas?

The SVLA Board of Directors will review all submissions and select a winner. The winner in addition to having their design printed on hundreds of t-shirts will receive a $50.00 gift certificate towards SV Lacrosse apparel. All designs must be received by 9/21/2012. Submit your design two ways. Drawings on paper are to be mailed to Bob Wise, 227 Jaclyn Drive, Cranberry Twp PA 16066. Electronic drawings are to be emailed to Bob Wise svlaxwise@yahoo.com.

Design Rules:
1. Use only 3 colors into your design (Black, Orange and Yellow only)
2. Winning design will be printed on the back of a white t-shirt
3. Avoid fine lines in your design, they do not hold up well in silk screening
4. Do not "acquire" images from web pages. If you zoom in on it and it is fuzzy we cannot use.
5. If Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw is used in designing the t-shirt , save in a vector format (preferred) otherwise, .tif or .gif format (it must be clean, high resolution, around 200 dpi, and turn off "anti-alias", if you have no choice save as a .jpg
