Pilots Give

Wednesday 4/3/19 noon through Thursday 4/4/19 noon is the second annual Pilots Give campaign!  There have been loads and loads of emails, social media posts and direct mail reminders sent out by the U on this, so I hope you have already heard of this or remember this event from last year.  I post this here as a reminder to please consider joining in on the fun with a donation.    

I am not going to re-hash the details on PN as I hope you have heard about this otherwise, but the link to the special website is here if you would like to read more and/or donate:  Pilots Give

It's early in this year's edition of Pilots Give, but I noticed something interesting...

The women's lacrosse club has raised about $2,296 which is giving some of the varsity athletics teams a run from their money. Might there be an appetite for a varsity squad? I know several nearby schools with programs, so it's not like there is no one to play: Arizona State, Cal, Colorado, Denver, Oregon, San Diego State, Stanford, UC-Davis, and USC.

Who knew, but the UP Lacrosse team is ranked 6th in the nation while experiencing unprecedented success in the Northwest Women’s Lacrosse League. This weekend, with a bid to nationals on the line, they carry the top seed into the four-team regional tournament held at Gonzaga.

The team is led by a young woman who will be commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army three weeks from today and will be heading to helicopter pilot training in Alabama.

I will be having dinner with the young lady mentioned in the article this coming Thursday and was fortunate enough to dine with another member of the team, a senior nurse, last week.

The nurses will be pinned and the ROTC cadets will be commissioned as second lieutenants this coming Saturday and they will graduate on Sunday before heading to Austin for the finals soon after.
