Under Construction

Message to the class of 2009

First of all, I wanted to thank coach Baker and Mr. Sakal for the opportunity to speak today. I think it is a thoughtful courtesy and appreciate the opportunity. I'm speaking for all of us who have played a part in coaching your team: Becky Pappas, Robbie Clemmons, Bob Markowitz, Mike Watercutter, David Sawka, Becky Pappas and John Weber, Sandy, Ryan, the EPL trainers, and the UD assistant coaches.

The Troy Strawberry Festival has announced the 2009 Troy Strawberry Festival theme and logo.

The theme will be "Dance to the Music," and was selected by Becky Pappas, the 2009 Strawberry Festival general chairwoman.

The festival theme represents Pappas' involvement in dance and music. She has danced for more than 13 years with Tammy's School of Dance and assists in teaching dance. Pappas also has been involved with many local organizations. She has been the chairperson of the Festival of Nations for 11 years, president of the Troy High School Soccer parents organization, president of the Troy Soccer Club for five years, board member of Teen Leadership Troy, Chairperson of registration for the Troy Soccer Tournament and a Strawberry Festival representative for the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce.

I envy Michelle being able to visit Old Trafford (Manchester United's stadium map). This is a photo from her first day after landing. Flickr has another couple of pictures. I have also attached the better pictures directly to this post.

Also, the team is playing in a tournament while they are over there. Hopefully they can be competitive. The tournament is publishing game (fixture) results. You'll need to go to the Umbro Kits Trophy Group 1 to see the team's bracket.
