President's Message:

August 7, 2008

Aloha to SAHA members, Handball players past and present, handball visitors, and all those who love us for who we are.

Pete Garris and I have been very pleased with the activities that are still continuing or are planned. Our primary goal is still to get more participation in playing handball from previous handball players to new handball players (Juniors or not). Our efforts will be to strengthen SAHA and its current activities. That means that we have to go to you for support and involvement.
Pete and I thank you for that support and involvement, we can't say enough on how much that has given Handball Community many days of handball games. We want to acknowledge Ron Domingos, our Treasurer and keeper of the BBQ facilities. He is our guru of the hospitality for the Sacramento Open. Rick Leonard, Capital Athletic Club Manager, is our premier supporter of handball in the Sacramento Area. His club is always available for providing a facility to host our funday or other events. Tom Bridges and Dave Thoreson are twins, we cannot get anything done without either one of them. They have made SAHA activities available to the Handball Community from Fundays to League Championships. Dave Vincent, the Wizard of WPH, has created an avenue for viewing handball at its best. With the Internet, he has given new handball players something that can be enjoyed without traveling to far off (out of State) locations.

Here are our plans for the next year or by the next Newsletter.

Projects:

1. SAHA website to add a HISTORY and COURT OF PLAY

2. Junior Program

3. League Play

4. Fundays

5. Supplies for handballs, gloves, and eye-glasses.

Ron and Pete
