  9. Communication • Emailis the primary form of communication. • You will receive a weekly ‘update’ that will include information for the next 1-2 weeks. • Email Updates will be printed and posted on the ‘Mites’ bulletin board space. • If you are not receiving emails (like the reminder email sent Saturday afternoon) be sure to sign-up on the contact list before leaving tonight. • If you do not have email, please connect with someone on the team who will serve as your contact person. You can also read updates on the bulletin board at the rink.

  10. Apparel Jerseys • Practice Jerseys- colors are assigned by coaches to help facilitate smooth transitions on the ice. These will be distributed by the coaches in two weeks at practice. • Game Jerseys- everyone should have a white game jersey with their child’s name and chosen number on the back. If you have not screened your name/number onto a jersey, you can see the Treadmill in Somerset. Refer to the list before selecting your number so we avoid duplicate numbers as much as possible.

  17. Team ‘Mom’ • Each Jamboree Team will have one contact person also known as the Team ‘Mom’ • This is, like all association positions at our level, is volunteer. Because it is not an association created position, you may or may not receive work hours for your duties. Be forewarned. • So many people ask ‘what can I do to help you’? I thought this would be a great way to empower more adult-leadership and get folks involved who just want to help out! • They will be responsible for: • Confirming that communication is smooth and thorough • Collecting: forms, $, etc. from their team (such as team photo cd’s) • Distributing: Jerseys, Tickets, Fan Gear! • Coordinating one team dinner ‘Hosted’ by your jamboree team. • Being sure to submit photos/memories on behalf of the team to Mandi for final banquet film/slideshow.
