Some like it hot, hot, hot!
June 19th, 2011


Hello GOALS families!!

We're excited to see you on Tuesday, June 19th for another night of GOALS! It's going to be hot Tuesday night! Please plan on bringing water to drink during the evening. We'll have additional drinks available as well! We've got an action packed night for you! We will be keeping to the June 12th agenda (click here for last week's info) with handing out uniforms as well as running a fun special event at dinner time: The Magic Paintbrush Project "Paint with the Players" event.

The "Magic" comes to GOALS, the Magic Paintbrush Project that is!

The Magic Paintbrush Project at the Pieters Family Life Center will be facilitating a "Paint with the Players" event at GOALS! The Magic Paintbrush Project is a new family engagement program at the Pieters Family Life Center which creatively captures abilities of special needs individuals and their caregivers with art materials. Click here for more information on the Magic Paintbrush Project at the Pieters Family Life Center. "Paint with the Players" will team up GOALS team members with players from the Rochester Rhinos for a game of "paintball" and a "Shoot Out" while having fun with other soccer themed activities using art materials. You GOALS veterans out there will remember last year's color filled Magic Paintbrush night!

Some things to consider for the Magic Paintbrush Project
This will be a messy, but fun and colorful, event. The Magic Paintbrush project will take place during dinner time and participation is voluntary. Please plan on getting paint on yourself and clothes.  While GOALS team members will be getting jerseys Tuesday night, we recommend wearing another shirt for this aspect of GOALS night. ALL PAINT IS WASHABLE AND NON-TOXIC.
 
Although we say that "Life Is...Washable!", we always remind folks that clothes are not stain resistant. Even though we use washable paints and materials, it is suggested that everyone wear clothes that they aren't afraid to get dirty (you too parents!). It is also suggested that you come with a change of clothes to wear home if needed. Also a towel to put on the car seat is not a bad idea.
 
If you have any questions about the GOALS "Paint with the Players" event, please contact us at info@pietersfamilylifecenter.org.
 
 
Additionally, we will be welcoming the U12 Boys Chili FC from the Rochester District Youth Soccer League. Chili FC are also GOALS veterans and had fun with us last year! We look forward to welcoming them back! Chili FC will be assisting in soccer skill drills and game time with our youth bracket.
 
See you on Tuesday!!

With the first two GOALS nights done, we're ready to continue with the season. All of the GOALS coaches have been very impressed with the hard work and solid teamwork that each GOALS player has shown. GOALS night on June 12th is an important night as we will be officially announcing who made the GOALS team and we'll be handing out uniforms. Here's a sneak peak of this year's uniforms:
