Meet your 2008 DWLL executive

Wednesday night the DWLL held it’s AGM at the Sports Garden Cafe. The following people have re-elected to the following positions:

President ~ Karen Fountain

Director of Registration ~ Robynne Wylie

Director of Finances ~ Ange Harper

Director of Contact Lacrosse ~ Joanne Latimer

Director of Non Contact Lacrosse ~ Tammy Bouwmeester

Director of Marketing ~ Tanya Brayley

League Secretary ~ Kerry Smedley

 2007 proved to be an eventful year:

  • the DWLL was able to successfully bring back our contact house league program. Our league has managed to grow each year; last summer sporting 4 contact and 8 non contact teams!
  • with the closure of Soccer City, there was great concern within the lacrosse community on whether we could facilitate our Fall/Winter programs. Partnered with representatives from the men’s leagues, we lobbied Oshawa City council to help us find a home (we requested the now empty Civic). Unfortunately, this process is still on-going. We were pleased to find space at the Salem Soccer Facility. It may be small, but certainly helps us get our weekly lacrosse fix!

In these upcoming seasons, the executive is committed to promote and grow this sport we love. Some of our main priorities for this year include:

  • continuing to promote women’s lacrosse - in both contact and non contact (Master’s) programs
  • evaluate joining the OLA (Ontario Lacrosse Association) to aid us in the promotion of women’s lacrosse and bring a new dimention to the game ~ a women’s Provincial Championship for both contact and masters. This will be a first for women in Ontario.
  • continue to work hard to secure a permanent home for our lacrosse programs. This executive, partnered with representatives from local men’s programs will continue to work together with the Oshawa City Council to secure one of the surplus ice rinks to be used as a dry floor facility. We will call upon our membership shortly to ensure our presence and persistance is noted.
  • spring/summer registration information will be available shortly.

Lastly, we would like to thank our membership for your support and suggestions each season. We have a great group of ladies in our league!

Yours in lacrosse,

The 2008 DWLL Executive
