Dear Parents,
With our economy weakening, I urge you to take advantage of our Early Bird Registration program (valid till 11/01/08). If you have not received this literature please email or call us at 845-638-2515. The savings are quite substantial.
Fall is the time that we upgrade a number of our buildings and fields. We have seeded, sodded and fertilized all of our fields. Our new magnificent, lower field looks like "a piece of art".We are also in the process of upgrading the electrical capacity in many buildings. In addition, we are patching, replacing and repairing a number of our roofs.
Also, our "new field of dreams" will allow us to offer a dynamic sports program for the athletic minded youngster. A new program for next year will accentuate basketball, softball, soccer, and tennis.
As we gear up for 09 please email me your thoughts and suggestions. I look forward to reading your comments and also try to participate in our Family/Friends Program. This program can save you thousands of dollars.
.
Sincerely,
Ken
