Another soccer season is here

The defending District One Champion Aces' pre-season is over, and they finished with a strong scrimmage performance against Bayer Rustin, scoring 2 goals and giving up none. They open up the regular season this Saturday, 10 AM, at West Chester East High School. The Aces' home opener is next Tuesday, September 6th, against Bonner. Both of these are non-league games. To view the entire 2011 Aces schedule you can go to their website at: lmacessoccer.com.

I've been getting a lot of response for the "LM Soccer Alumni Weekend" events. If you haven't already done so, and are interested in coming to some of the events (listed below) scheduled for Saturday, September 17th, please reply to this email and let me know which events you will be attending, as we need an approximate count for providing jerseys for the Alumni Game participants and lunch after the game (lunch will also be provided to family members of LM Soccer Alumni). We also have to give the Great American Pub an idea of how many of us there will be that evening.

2/ 12:30 AM - Annual LM Soccer Alumni game
3/ 2:00 PM - Lunch in the stands after the Alumni Game

Finally, as you already know, the LMSAA (Lower Merion Soccer Alumni Association) no longer collects membership dues from our members, especially the way the economy is today. Fortunately, we have been able to operate through the kindness of our members who have been able to made donations to our organization. If you would like to donate to the LMSAA, you can either do it directly online at our LM Soccer Alumni website (lmsocceralum.org), scroll down to the bottom of the home page for instructions, or you can send a check (made out to "LMSAA") to Jim VanDusen '89, our treasurer, and mail it to: 800 Maple Glen Lane, Wayne, PA 19087-4727.

Thanks again for your continued support of LM Soccer, and we hope to see you at the "LM Soccer Alumni Weekend".
