We have received a few responses for volunteering and attending the mouse race event on Friday, September 22 and could certainly use more!  Please check your calendars and come support a few of our younger officials and their father, Officer Mike Colombo.  Please contact fellow official, Nick Sadorf. at (314) 401-0444 to register yourself that night as a volunteer.
 
Below is an image for T-shirts that they are making to commemorate Mike.  They are $20 and the funds go directly to helping with Mike’s medical expenses. 

To order a T-shirt, please e-mail your name, telephone number, and T-shirt size to Nick Sadorf.

Over the past few weeks, there have been some questions asked pertaining to some of the new rules.  In an effort to answer those questions consistently and to provide our membership with the most current rules information we have assembled a FAQ memo.
 
Please review this information and distribute it immediately to all of your seminar instructional staffs so they are able to correctly answer these questions.  Also, if you have other ways to distribute this information (i.e. newsletters, websites, etc.) please feel free to do so.
 
If you have any other related questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
