NEWS FOR CHAMPS during SPIRIT NIGHT

Feel free to bring your 10×10 EZ up labeled with your family name on the legs  to Spirit Night. When Spirit Night ends bring your 10×10 EZ up to the Sports Court. Stack your EZ ups by the sign that says “Stack EZ Ups here!” The set up crew for Champs will then take your family EZ Ups with them to set up for champs on Friday night and they will set up as many as possible. Setting up the EZ ups is a bit of a puzzle so we would like all EZ ups to be 10×10 size to make it easier. The set up crew will set them up. You will need to take your family EZ Up down after Champs.

The league is bringing back Premier Parking Spots Raffle.  This year each of the participating teams get to keep the proceeds of the raffle. LPAC has two spots right outside the back gates under the solar panels to raffle off. We will sell tickets on Thursday night at Spirit Night for $1 each. Bring cash! If you win you receive a special parking pass and premiere spot for the entire day.

CAR DECORATING: JULY 18 

Come decorate your car for Champs with us. We will be decorating between 5 and 6 pm on Friday July 18. Bring your cars with clean windows to the back of the church parking lot closest to Los Paseos.
