Kudos to the team!
I am writing to comment on the great job the Men's Rugby team did at the Easter Eggstravaganza. They had at least 20 guys there, all dressed in purple. They had a great activity (bean bag toss) and kept the children engaged. They were enthusiastic, energetic and especially attracted those hard to reach boys (that could cause problems if they are not busy). They also stayed until the very end - I was really impressed with this group. Could you please forward this to their moderator and club president? Thanks so much.
