THIS EVENT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT TOMMY DICKERSON AND HIS STAFF AT THE GREENE TURTLE WEST. SO, A HUGE THANK YOU GOES OUT TO TOMMY AND HIS AWESOME STAFF FOR TAKING CARE OF EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED ON SUNDAY AND FOR KEEPING THE FOOD, OYSTERS, & BEER FLOWING! THE SILENT AUCTION PORTION OF THIS EVENT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE HELP OF PARENT VOLUNTEERS. ONCE AGAIN THE TEAM BASKETS WERE AMAZING! THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY PARENT WHO CONTRIBUTED AND TO THE TEAM MOM WHO PUT THEM TOGETHER! THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE SILENT AUCTION WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED THIS YEAR WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE, DOUG SHRIVER, TRISH CILETTI, KAREN TIMMONS, CHRIS REMMELL & TOMMY DICKERSON. THEY SINGLE HANDEDLY OBTAINED ALL OF THE SILENT AUCTION DONATIONS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK STACEY MCGUIRE AND MARIE KRAMER FOR ALWAYS BEING THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM! LASTLY, I WOULD BE REMISS IN NOT GIVING A GIANT THANK YOU TO GINA HOLLOWAY FOR HER AWESOME WORK ON THE 50/50 RAFFLE. IF YOU WERE THERE, YOU DID NOT ESCAPE GINA! THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED!

THANK YOU TO ALL TURTLEFEST PARTICIPANTS!
I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND A SINCERE "THANK YOU" TO EACH AND EVERY "TURTLEFEST" PARTICIPANT ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH AT NORTHSIDE PARK IN OCEAN CITY. ON FRIDAY THE WEATHER WAS DEFINITELY NOT COOPERATING AND IT WAS NOT LOOKING GOOD. BUT WE HAD ENOUGH WIND AND SUN ON SATURDAY THAT IT WAS "GAME ON" FOR SUNDAY. THE EARLY GAMES WERE PLAYED IN THE FOG, AND THEN THE SUN CAME OUT AND IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR LAX! UNTIL THE RAINS CAME! FOR THOSE WHO GOT RAINED OUT WE ARE TRULY SORRY, BUT IF YOU WERE THERE, YOU KNOW THAT THE FIELDS SIMPLY BECAME TO DANGEROUS TO PLAY ON. AGAIN, WE WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE CLUBS, COACHES, PLAYERS, AND PARENTS WHO CAME OUT TO PLAY AND SUPPORT OUR SECOND ANNUAL "TURTLFEST". WE SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU WILL JOIN US AGAIN NEXT YEAR AS OUR FALL TOURNAMENT CONTINUES TO GROW. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO EXTEND A SINCERE THANK YOU TO THE TOURNAMENT DIRECTOR, CHRIS CARROLL, FOR ALL OF HIS HARD WORK IN MAKING THE TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS. THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE PARENT VOLUNTEERS AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO THE PARENTS AND PLAYERS OF OUR GRADUATING SENIOR TEAM (2009'S) FOR MANNING THE SCORERS TABLES AND CHECK IN TENT, WE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU! WE HOPE TO SEE EVERYONE BACK IN 2009! THANK YOU! TOMMY D.

IF YOUR TOURNAMENT FEES FOR 2007 ARE NOT PAID YOUR DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TRY OUT FOR THE 2008 SEASON.

CLUB POLICY TO BE POSTED:
Dear Parents & Players, The club policy and procedure regarding the expression of concerns and/or complaints are completed and are posted on this website on the "mission statement" page as well as on the "forms & links" page. Mr. Dickerson strongly urges all parents to read the policy thoroughly. Remember, although it may make us feel better at that moment, complaining on the sidelines during games or practice does not bring about change. The Club is committed to making this a positive experience for the girls and we are all invested in our success! Again, Mr. Dickerson asks that we read and become familiar with the policy, refrain from complaining to one another, and address your concerns in an appropriate manner directly to him. Thank You!

THE ONLINE STORE WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN THIS YEAR. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING OUT SOME OF THE "KINKS" FROM LAST YEAR AND WILL KEEP YOU POSTED OF WHEN IT IS UP AND RUNNING. GTLAX GEAR, e.g., SWEATSHIRTS, SWEATPANTS, UNDERARMOUR FLEECE, T-SHIRTS, ETC. WILL BE AVAILABLE. WATCH THIS SITE FOR ADDITIONAL INFO. THANKS!
