| AYSES Club Wide Banquet July 19!!! |
Tickets are still available for this shindig. They can be purchased at the door for $50. However, if you are a Rockefeller or Kennedy or want to act like one, it is $500. :-)
The upcoming season will be the last for the AYSES 91 Boys Gold. This is a team with fine young men who helped put AYSES on the map by winning almost all soccer awards out there. Please join us in giving them and the John Bosma, the guy who alone destroys the "curve" (thanks for that Mac), a warm sendoff for a job well done. Some of these young men have played for only one select team, AYSES. All the players will be individually recognized.
- The attire is suit and tie preferred but not formal.
Please plan on attending the inaugural AYSES Banquet July 19 at the Southfork Hotel in Plano (1600 North Central Expressway) beginning at 7pm. Led Zeppelin will be the music guests, the President and First Lady will greet you, and the entire cast of Riverdance will be present for a dance off! Forget that last sentence as this writer got a little happy. But a guaranteed good time will be had by all. All proceeds will go toward the construction of the AYSES Soccer Complex.
Meet others who have the same interests as you - playing for the best club with the best coaches, players, and player families.
The AYSES attorneys have directed the following to be included:
- The Banquet tickets are $50.00 per person. They can be purchased at the door.
- There will be a silent auction and a 50/50 raffle.
- Attire is Sunday Best and not formal.
- If you haven’t done so, please RSVP to Alice Olali, (214) 454 - 5953.
- Please call Alice Olali for further information at (214) 454 - 5953.

| AYSES Soccer Complex - Progressing As Planned |
Plans for the construction of AYSES Soccer Complex are proceeding as planned.
The complex will be built in phases. Phase I of the complex which is located on the west side of the property and consists of the six fields, club house, lake, parking and fun area among other things, will be built in two phases. The first part of phase I will be completed by in the fall. The phase will include the construction of six irrigated soccer fields, well, lake, parking and lights. The lights will be ready before November 2008 just when they will be needed.
The remainder of phase I will be completed by September 2009 and will include everything in phase I that will not have been built. This will include the club house, picnic area and fun area. Right after completion of phase I, construction of phase II and then III will begin.
Having our own soccer complex is a huge step! It will be the club’s home, as opposed to, our nomadic existence of today. The AYSES Soccer Complex will embody everything compromising the AYSES family: the club, teams, players, and parents. This is a proud time to be an AYSES.
We will keep updating you on the progress of the facility via email and the AYSES website.

| Fundraising For AYSES Soccer Complex |
|
As you all know, building a soccer facility of the caliber of AYSES Soccer Complex is very expensive. Every help we can get will go a long way in offsetting the cost of bringing the project to life. More importantly your contribution will help build something that will help many youths leave a healthy life for many years to come.
Listed below are the ways you can contribute to the project:
- Financial contribution of any amount: There will be three levels of recognition for financial contribution. If you contribute $100.00 and below, you will be recognized as a Silver Level contributor. If you contribute between $100.00 and $1,000, you will be recognized as a Gold Level contributor, and if you contribute $1,000.00 and above, you will be recognized as a Platinum Level contributor. All contributors will have their names displayed prominently in the AYSES Club House based on their level of contribution. This will be a permanent feature of the facility, and you can some day share with your grandchildren that you helped make AYSES Soccer Complex a reality.
- Contributing a tree: Trees will be an important feature of the AYSES Soccer Complex. The plan is to have every soccer field surrounded by trees. We believe that having trees contribute positively to the environment, provide shade and gives the complex the look and feel of more than just a soccer facility. We will therefore be taking contributions in the form of trees. These trees will be positioned in different locations within the facility depending on the type of tree you contribute. The tree will be named after you, your family or whoever you wish. You will engrave that name on the tree. That tree will be there for many years to come, and will be there as a testimony to your contribution to the facility.
- Buy a Brick: You can contribute $100.00 towards the purchase of a brick that will be used to build the Club House. You will be recognized as a Bronze Level contributor, and your name will be displayed in the Club House as such.
- Provide expertise: We could use all the expertise we can get. If you can provide your service in any way, shape of form, we will very much appreciate it. Some of the AYSES parents have done so much to get us to this point by providing services that would have cost thousands of dollars. You may be an architect, landscape expert, or a builder. We need you. We will recognize you accordingly.
- Business Sponsorship: If you own a business, you can contribute or purchase advertisement. Please call for more information.
You can mail your contribution to (make check payable to AYSES):
