Save the Dates - For Wrestling Banquet & Golf Tournament!

Please put these dates on your calendar and plan on joining in the fun:
2016 Wrestling Banquet - May 8, Sunday
2016 Dale Thomas Golf Classic - June 10, Friday

We've had a bit of trouble getting a date and a venue picked out for the Wrestling Banquet this year. The Club at Reser finally has been reserved for  May 8, which is actually Mother's Day. We hope that will not be too much of an inconvenience for anyone. Bring Mom along to the Banquet, she'll have a good time!

Don't forget, we always have some extra special items out for Silent Auction and door prizes at the Banquet. In fact, this year we have a one of a kind piece of art, made by former OSU wrestler, John Kowalewski, celebrating the Beavers five-in-a-row Pac-12 Championships! This is a photo of John's art. It has been updated to reflect this year's championship!

After we work out the last few details, I will send out the registration forms. That should be in a day or two.

Another important date for wrestling is June 10, a Friday, the date for the Dale Thomas Golf Classic Tournament. The Classic is an annual fund-raiser for the Oregon State Wrestling program. It raises funds for the Northwest Wrestling Regional Training Center. The NWRTC helps fund coaches to help with training.

To sign up to either play or to be a sponsor, fill out the forms and return them to the coaches office.

It's been a while since the last email update. In the meantime, Cal Poly has announced their hiring of a new Head Wrestling Coach, Jon Sioredas. Learn more about Mr Sioredas at this Cal Poly article.

Thank you to Craig Scharer, FALL Board member for sharing that news link with me!

One other bit of housekeeping news. Apparently the free email providers are moving to take more steps to protect people from spam. Gmail, which I use, is expected to join in this program. If and when this happens, these emails will be rejected and you won't get them. I will be studying the alternatives designed to get around this latest hurdle.

The fix apparently requires a new "domain" and a new email address. So if something comes that sounds like it is from me and looks like a different email address, it could well be me! My apologies for the lack of details, but I just found out about this.

Meanwhile, get signed up for the Golf Tournament, and put the Banquet date on your calendar! Wrestling season is over - it's time to say Congratulations and Thank you!

Go Beavs!
