February -March 2012
 
This years Friendship Exchange weekends were great thanks to all the parents, coaches and participants.  The 40th Anniversary is now in the history books, the planning for a new season will soon begin.
 It has been a pleasure to be a part of such a program and the smiles on our players faces reminds us that the hard work that we do is all worth while.
The roads between our two communities have been well travelled in the past and I know this summer will not be any different.  So have fun and I hope everyone stays in touch with their billets and continues their friendships for years to come.
