Jersey winner!!


Hi all,

ok, we have a winner in the jersey competition: Switzerland (see pic). The shirt I had at the party is an Adult Medium. There seemed to be some confusion as to how the size relates to a "normal medium" so I am providing the link to the sizing chart:



The delivery time for the jerseys is about 2 weeks. It would be totally awesome if we could start the spring season in the new jerseys, don't you think? If so, to be on the safe side I would like to place the order no later than Sunday March 11. Prizing for the different sizes can be found at:

And, a big THANK YOU to everyone for making it to the party (hugs to everyone :) :) ). It was FUN!!! Kasper slept all of Sunday :) :). Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Blast Saturday. An update on practices will be forthcoming. I figure we at least want to wait until the snow is gone (some of us at least. Not me, I'm Swedish andIve played soccer in knee-deep snow before....). I think our first game is March 31st (our boss Jill would know for sure, right Jill??). I think having 2-4 practices before that would be a good thing. We'll see.
Alright, that's all for now. As for getting payment for the shirts to me, I don't really need that before placing the order but I do need a 100% decision on your size. I will need the money before actually giving you the jersey though...
Later,
A

Social Committee stuff

Dear Femmes,

Spring season is fast approaching, and I thought I would update you briefly on a few SC details. First, a hardy welcome to our fourth member of the Social Committee, Sarah. That's right. She has joined the ranks as of Saturday so stay tuned for upcoming super cool, super fun stuff. For now we have the Baltimore Blast game coming up this coming Saturday. This should really be mandatory attendance considering it will be more of a learning experience, but fine, we'll put it under the social category. Julie still has 4 tickets left, so harrass her if you want to go and don't have a ticket yet.

Also, many of you heard mention during the party about a new Femmes concept. SHARK NIGHT. This shall be a time when the women go out for a night of fun drinks, food, or whatever is happening to check out dudes. We shall pick an area and target some happening spots for some eye candy. Allen has graciously volunteered to help the women determine which dudes are players and which ones are worthy. Ryan has...well, not sure how he said he would help...I heard talk about attracting gay, Black males, so.... Anyway, we shall be planning a ladies night out (with a couple of escorts) to hunt (or at least check out, make fun of, drool over) DC males soon. Stay tuned for more to come...

A Big Fat Thank You to Annika

I wanted to give Annika a million thanks for the awesome party she threw. For the absent Femmes, you all missed a great get together. We had a Smörgåsbord (for those of you non-Swedish speakers - it appropriately means Swedish buffet right Annika???) of amazing dishes prepared with love by our Swedish chef, and her very special assistant (I did the chopping). Swedish meatballs, big fat pieces of meat on skewers, salads including a funky combo of cabbage and ramen noodles courtesy of our little bully, shrimp, chips, veggies, cheeses...burp...and to top it off homemade blueberry pie and a strawberry one. Then three Uber models paraded the new uniform options and a winner was declared. I'm sure Annika will fill you all in on those details. I don't think any of us stopped laughing during the Pictionary tourney lasting until about 1:30, and yes, Sarah is still undefeated in Pictionary. That's okay though, she will be eventually dethroned. Alison and I will make sure of it. Jen you SHOULD have stayed. So thanks again Annika. It was a fantastic time.

Practicing with the Freedom

Hey ladies,

Ali
Annika
Julie
Kate
Rachael
Virginia

We want to overrun this practice session and use what we learn to dominate the O-30 Division again this season, so SIGN UP!!!

OK drill sargeant I'm ready - I can juggle the ball 3x (and that's a major improvement)! Sad but true, but if you run some clinics, you'll have all of us in shape to (finally) win the spring season! Looking forward to warm weather and outdoor games....
