2006-07 Volunteer Days

[Turbine]

I have a feeling you might be right.

ps message to Amy between 7-9am call stevie P at 269-1077 to promo the team and volunteer work days.

If you don't I will

I heard Amy call Scott Prather (filling in on Birds Eye View) with a request yesterday.

I love coaches who promo their own programs.

In the pics below A WHOLE LOT of SANDING going on. These are the last views of the Vermilion & White look. The benches will be black and the rest Vermilion.

I wish I had showed everyone how to do the UL hand sign and not just one student. It made her smile.

Finbal touches to the bleachers being done today. Capitol One very involved.

Here is a 2004-white to 2006-vermilion transition.

Anybody with a few hours should indeed try to help.

I understand your feelings, but I would want you to consider that there have been several major volunteer events and many minor ones. In all the prior cases the coaches made arragements with the followers of the sports to enlist the volunteers much earlier. I like yourself cannot be in Lafayette this week or I would be glad to help.

Late in the summer many people are taking last minute vacations, and preparing for school. So it is not an entirely minor sport vs major sport thing. You post starts off trying to shame people into working the volunteer days. That usually does not get the job done when it comes to volunteers. What gets the job done is a having a core group of leaders.

I am not bashing your request, but I think this could have been brought together much better by those in need. Mens football and basketball have a much stonger following, but that is the universe we live in.

The current painting of the football stadium was taken on by two indivduals without the help of others, or the university. Sometimes those who want something need to take things into their own hands.

We do what we can with what we have. Our coach was pivotal in making this happen. We did promote within and Capital One's involvement was vital. The coaches as well as the players who were in town participated in the renovation. My post was not to throw shame on anyone. I have seen, thru this website especially, that the second any volunteer requests hit newsprint posts pop up hand over fist asking where and how. I am a passionate parent and volleyball fan who would never intentionally cause ill will or say anything that would bring negative connotations to volleyball. We appreciate all the hardwork.

Our girls are working hard and looking forward to a successful season. We would love to see the stands full for all our home games.

Geaux Cajuns!

Is there going to be an official volunteer day to cleanup cajun basin this year? I've been waiting for news on the board here but so far I haven't seen anything. I wasn't able to make it last year but was really looking forward to it this year. It's getting really close to crunch time now if something will be organized.

Gerald is planning to have the graphics of the retired jerseys installed on the student side of the stadium next Tuesday and is in need of a lift. He also needs about 2 to 3 people to give him a hand.

If anyone has access to a lift and or can help next Tuesday please give Gerald a call #482-0922 or cell #962-0296. He would really appreciate the help.
