All PAL Families;

Let me open by saying how much your continued involvement with the EWPAL is so important to our children and community. It is so vitally important, during this time, that our children are given a small sense of "normalcy" as the current conditions may have a long lasting effect upon the social, mental, physical and psychological development. It is so vitally important that we engage our children of the PAL in activities to relieve some of their stress and concerns. Once again thank you....and welcome back!

As all of our families are aware there have been Executive Orders put in place by the Governor, regulating public gatherings, open spaces and particularly youth sports activities. To comply with these orders, and allow the PAL to engage with the children the PAL had to set certain thresholds in order to be able to reopen and remain open. In order to continue to offer our programs for the rest of the fall season, please be reminded the following must be complied with;

Masks must be worn from the parking lot to the playing fields, and any other common area of the complex

Social distancing must be adhered to

Spectators are required to wear masks unless  the spectator maintains a minimum of 6 feet of distance from others and any perimeter of the field of play

Players may remove masks while actively participating, if not actively playing social distancing must be maintained.

At the conclusion of the activity all players and spectators must vacate the playing area and proceed to the parking area and depart the facility. No socializing or lingeringing in common areas is permitted.

As stated on waiver forms violators are subject to expulsion and no refunds shall be issued. It is our hope that everyone will abide by the rules for their and others own safety. Remember..... WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

Regards

John Funda

Executive Director

On January 21, 2021 the East Windsor/Hightstown community lost one of its pillars with the sad news that Jim Peto had died that day.  Jim’s passion for Hightstown High School and its student athletes was evident every time you saw him.  In his honor, the RamStrong Scholarship has been set up which will be awarded to a deserving graduating senior annually. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made for the benefit of the RamStrong Scholarship in his memory.  This will preserve his legacy and provide an annual reminder of how much he meant to this community.

Thank you for your donation to the RamStrong Scholarship in memory of Jim Peto.

To make a donation in Memory of Jim Peto for the RamStrong Hightstown High School Scholarship Fund please click on the link below. You can also mail a check to EWPAL 30 Airport Rd. East Windsor, NJ 08520 Please mark it Rams Strong or Jim Peto

See how great they look!

East Windsor Police Athletic League 

Face Masks are still available for purchase if you now have seen all the coaches and kids with them on and would like to get one. Just follow the link below! 

Dear EWPAL Supporter,

We hope all of you are listening to our CDC and practicing good social distancing.  The CDC is urging all of us to remain at home as much as possible, including limiting the number of essential trips we take (like the grocery store).

That likely means you are turning to online venues, such as Amazon, for your household needs. And with the holidays approaching what a great way to get gifts and have them delivered directly to your home or the home of the recipients. 

That's right, if you use the Amazon Website, simply go to:

1.  https://smile.amazon.com/ch/23-7426097

2.  log in using your existing Amazon or Amazon Prime Account Details

So long as your qualifying purchases are made through this website EWPAL will receive a portion of the sale.  There's nothing else you have to do.  You still receive your Amazon Prime Benefits and you receive all of the great low Amazon prices, but qualifying purchases will reward EWPAL with a percentage of the proceeds.

Thanks to supports like you, EWPAL has earned over $500 in donations .  This money directly supports our youth programs by helping to offset field maintenance, liability insurance and other administrative expenses.  The more money we raise here, the less money we need to raise through registration fees.

So please, take a moment to sign up and remember to use the website (Amazon Smile is not available on the Telephone or Tablet App).  We realize it takes a few extra moments to bring up your web browser, but that investment is minor compared to the benefits you will provide to the children of our community.

Thanks for your time and please, stay safe!

If you have a question or need help with registration please email me at pattie@eastwindsorpal.org I will be happy to assist you. 

Thanks Pattie

All PAL Families;

The East Windsor Police Athletic League is excited to announce the creation of our new Facebook Group Page. This newly created group will be used to post the most recent, accurate and up-to-date information on the PAL, the complex, the fields and any current promotions/events or issues. This group page is being created to facilitate the communication process through a social media outlet that many people use on a daily basis. The group page will alos be used for engaging all in the PAL community, in conversation, discussions, and individual posts or members sharing their child's experiences while engaged in PAL activities. Individual posts will be encouraged, along with the posting of pictures, positive or inspirational messages and other community related information, as it relates to the PAL, our Sponsors and supporters.

The goal is to have all parents/guardians of registered children, all coaches, volunteers, alumni, alumni families and other validated community members request to join the Group Page for this interactive experience. In the very near future this Group Page will also link you to the Official EWPAL Facebook main page and the EWPAL website.

Please log onto Facebook and go to www.facebook.com/groups/EWPAL.  Please answer the three questions that pop-up which will expedite your approval to join.

We look forward to making this a great interactive group page!

Regards

Lt. John T Funda (Ret.)
