We know that everyone is anxious to get paid for their season’s worth of lacrosse games.

Treasurer Pete Fleury is in the process of invoicing all 60+ teams in the state of Georgia. After the schools receive their invoices, the schools have 30 days net to pay GLOA. As a result of this lengthy process, our GLOA referee payments typically are not mailed out until the month of June.

We ask for your patience during this time frame. There are over 135 officials in the association now! Pete will be working very hard to get everyone paid as quickly as possible. He has been known to put the “complainers” at the end of the line when it comes to end of year payments.

If you would like to receive your payment via Direct Deposit (which will speed your payment up 3 or 4 business days), please contact GLOA Treasurer Peter Fleury with your Bank Routing Number and your Account Number. Otherwise, you will receive a plain white check via US Mail from First Decatur Bank. Pete’s email is treasurer@galaxref.com and his cell phone is 770-827-7499.

Westminster defeated Lovett and Milton knocked off Lassiter to win the two boys Georgia State Championships on Saturday. Congratulations to both state championship crews on a job well done. You can check out some online coverage of the games via the Georgia Lacrosse Blog here:www.georgialax.blogspot.com.

At halftime of both state championships, GLOA presented 6 summer lacrosse camp scholarships from the Ron Mallonee Fund. Your generous donations made this possible. Thanks to all GLOA referees who came onto the field to help present these awards to the deserving student athletes.

Since we have know reached the end of the GHSA high school season, low white socks and the GLOA white hats are officially approved for use for summer leagues and summer tournaments. If you still need a white GLOA summer hat, please email me for more details. We have less then a dozen white hats left in inventory.

Thanks to all who helped “wrap up” our spring season this weekend at the GLOA End of Year Party. We had a fantastic turnout last Friday night. Special thanks to Bob Foster and Gordon Corsetti from our GLOA Awards Committee for helping organize the party.

Hearty congratulations to all the GLOA award winners for 2010!

IRON MAN – Jeff Greene

ROAD WARRIOR – Mike Gossett

ROOKIE OF THE YEAR – Eric Sanders

MOST IMPROVED – Gordon Corsetti

RON MALLONEE AWARD – Landon Hunsucker

At the party, we were able to raise an additional $560 for the Ron Mallonee Fund & Kevin Moore Fund through our raffle. Thanks again to all who donated raffle prizes and to everyone at the party who purchased raffle tickets.

We hope to grow the raffle into a large fundraiser for the association next year and possible look for a larger party venue. If you have any suggestions or comments regarding the GLOA Awards Ceremony, please send them via e-mail to Bob Foster (uva71@comcast.net) or Gordon Corsetti (gordoncorsetti@gmail.com).

If you haven’t already done so, there is still time for you to make a donation to the RMF and KMF! Please contact Pete Fleury via email with your end of year donation to either or both funds. Every donation helps. You can donate a specific dollar amount or a specific number of game fees for each of the two funds. Pete will deduct your donation amount from your end of year check reducing your tax liability. His email is: treasurer@galaxref.com
