An Important and MUST read Message to ALL our FOD Parents & Friends

Here Are Some Facts...

• Coaches, Board members, Coordinators and volunteers are making substantial sacrifices to provide a safe and developing environment for our children. 
• Bringing forward a quality program is not an easy task. It takes the dedicated support of our entire community, not just the toil of a few. 
• Our volunteers are not paid; they do not get stock options, medical benefits or free services from our local businesses. They sometimes do not even hear a "thank you" for the many sacrifices they make.
• Without more volunteers, what is likely to happen is simple: 
  • The volunteers involved will cease to give due to over burdening. 
  • The quality of the program will start to decline, deadlines not met, services not provided. 
  • The league will be forced to out source functions just to get tasks completed. 
  • The kids will ultimately suffer first, the parents second. 

The Solution is YOU!
