Oh what a night!
Some news and notes the day after…
- The results from Week 1 have been posted on the Growler website: https://growlervolleyball.com/volleyball-events/growler/ CAPTAINS: Please review these scores for accuracy and if you have any concerns please let me know and I’ll help rectify with the other captain. I need to resolve now and not after the Final GPI comes out and it’s too late.
- Thank you to all who attended last night and to all the players… it was HOT but a great atmosphere and any night without rain is always appreciated. Extra special Thanks to all the volunteers who made everything possible (and a special shout out to the GROWLeadERship team who prepped so well and delivered in their respective areas
)! Lastly, Thanks to our Sponsors… especially the Food and Beer sponsors specific to Night 1 (Ruckus, Sharky’s, City BBQ, Salt N Lime, Jersey Mike’s, Wicked Links, and Long Beverage). The first wave of food ran out about 8:15 and Wicked Links rolled in just in time. It’s like we planned it :) - Player Pavilion was once again a hit! Note… in Weeks 2 and 3 we will have Beer, Water, Gatorade and Soda available in the pavilion. Jersey Mikes (food) will return in Week 4.
- We have 3 host locations next week (Greystone, Lake Park and Springdale). Please do whatever you all did this week to keep the rain away!!
- Volunteers, you are doing great. Please continue to sign up for volunteer duty on the website and let Cristine or I know if you have any questions or concerns. Again, Week 2 is at all 3 pools, so please plenty of opportunity to come out and help if you can! (https://growlervolleyball.com/volunteer/).

- Lastly, I sent an email out last week to try and spark more participation on the St Baldrick’s website… I gave the same message to the Captains on Sunday night. Looking pretty good… as of when I sent this email last year we are still down on participant pages (185 vs 197)… however the money raised just topped 84K on the St Baldrick’s site!! We were are 81k last year and 78K in 2023. Let’s keep it going!! Keep imagining what we can do…
I almost forgot… Special Shout out to Jodi from Springdale printing for recognizing my Tombstone quote in the last email :)
