They have asked if you would like to share any kind words  to email me at pattie@eastwindsorpal.org and I will forward them to his family.

Thanks Pattie

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!

For Teens 13yrs and older that are interested in certifying to become a Soccer Referee.

Go to the following website

New Jersey State Referee Committee | Becoming a Referee

http://www.njrefs.com/becoming-a-referee 

Follow the directions.

When you pass the class send an email to Pattie  and she will forward your information to the Referee assignor.

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.
