Calling on all San Juan High School MOMS

Plese come and join Cafemoms and then join the san juan high school group!

if we win the challenge of having 20 moms in our group by the deadline then we get 100.00 donated to our school!

How do we get $100 for our kids' school?

CafeMom School Groups with 20 or more participating moms by 9/30/08 will get $100 for supplies, activities or whatever your group decides the kids need most.

To become part of a school group, a mom:

Has to have a CafeMom account with a valid email address, and
Joins the CafeMom school group that her kid(s) attend using that valid CafeMom account
To be considered a "participating" mom, a mom has to do one of the following by 9/30/08:

Add a new post to the school group
Reply to an existing post on the school group
Invite another mom to join the school group using the CafeMom invite tool

Which groups are eligible to get the $100?

The $100 promotion is open to all CafeMom School Groups, which include all K-12 schools in the U.S.:

Each school is eligible for one $100 offer.
Moms who join a school group but do not have kids at the school are not counted towards the 20 participating moms. A mom is allowed to join multiple school groups if she has kids in multiple schools
Homeschooling groups are not eligible, nor are any groups created for Pre-K/Nursery schools, or colleges.
Only school groups set up by CafeMom are eligible to get the $100. If you can't find the group for your kid's school, please contact us.

CafeMom reserves the right to confirm eligibility. We want to foster a positive, practical and helpful place for moms to connect and discuss school issues and concerns. Only school groups that fully abide by the CafeMom Community Guidelines and Rules of Conduct will be rewarded with the $100.

Does our group have to let CafeMom know when we reach 20 participating moms?

Nope. We will check automatically for you and we'll notify your group that you've qualified.

When does our group find out if we qualify for the $100?

We will notify all qualifying groups by adding a post to each qualifying group by 10/31/08.

When and how does our group receive the $100?

We'll send the $100 check to the group owner by 11/30/08. The group owner will be responsible for spending the money according to the wishes of the group. We will include more details in our post to the group when your group qualifies.

Who decides how to spend the $100?

The whole group should be involved in the decision-making process. We recommend having a discussion about it through a group post or group poll. The group owner will be responsible for spending the $100 according to the group's wishes.

There are lots of possibilities for spending the $100 for your kids' school, but here are a few suggestions:

Books for the library
Computer lab supplies
Playground balls and equipment
Fieldtrip or pizza party
Pens, notebooks, and other supplies
Whatever the kids need most!

Sunrise United Takes 1st Place inYuba City


Well I can say great job to all of the teams that played in this tournament this past weekend.
However, Congratulations to all of the boys on Sunrise United for taking 1st place in the U-19 Division, it was not an easy victory, the last two teams were there to win and they were also very aggressive to the point that it should not have been allowed, however soon the Center Ref got control of the game back once again.

I am so proud of ALL of the BOYS that came to play as a team and not be a one man team, Sunrise United Came together as a whole team and we are all very proud of them.

Ref Uniforms

Do I have to throw out all of my referee jerseys and buy new ones?

No. The previous jersey design is perfectly acceptable. You should not feel obligated to discard these still-approved referee jerseys in order to purchase the new design. Purchases of the new uniform may be made when you need a new jersey or you want to add an additional color. This is also true for the socks.

What if I show up to a game and I have a referee jersey that is the previous design and the referee, or referees, I am working with has a referee jersey that is the new design?

You may all work the game in the jerseys you have. It is acceptable if one or two referees have the previous design and the others have the new design. It is more important that they be the same color. A referee assessor may not deduct points for a crew that has mismatched uniform designs, provided that the uniforms feature approved designs and are the same color.

Will there come a time when the new jersey design will be the only design that will be recognized by U.S. Soccer?

There is no date set, and no plans to set a date, by which the old jerseys will be “phased out.” To be clear, both the old and new designs comply with the “Standards of Dress and Appearance” listed in the referee administrative handbook – the only differences are aesthetic. For the old jerseys to be phased out, it would require a change to these Standards, and U.S. Soccer would not make such a change without providing a fair amount of lead time to the entire referee community. It should be noted, however, that OSI has ceased manufacturing the previous design.

Will the new design be the only design accepted at USYS or USASA regional and national competitions?

No. Again, the parameters for referee uniforms are set by U.S. Soccer and approved by its Board. Both the old and new design meet the standards set by U.S. Soccer, and its organizational members have a responsibility

Indoor Soccer always fun to watch



Well, I went to my first Indoor soccer game for the season and after my injury on 07/12/08, my sons 17th birthday and as always it was enjoyable to watch the teams play. I just wish it was a bit more comfortable for me to sit now and watch a game, my back injury has really changed my lifestyle.

I have posted most of the pics on my flickr account.

However here are a few.

The Indoor game was played at MEtro on Folsom Bld in Rancho Cordova, CA

What is holding you back?

Here is some food for thought..........

Do you expect for something to go wrong in your life?
Do you expect to not be able to pay your bills?
Do you think your not good enough for this or that?

Now here is the food for thought::::

Why have low expectations?
Start everyday with positive thoughts.............
Do not Expect bad things to happen, cause they then will

It is ok to be disappointed in life and to have your feelings hurt

However if we do not EXPECT GOOD THINGS for ourselves how do you think good things will come our way?

Stop saying it will never happen..
Start saying YES IT WILL HAPPEN
stop saying I am never gonna get my bills paid off
Start Saying I WILL HAVE MY BILLS PAID OFF SOON

HAVE FAITH..............in GOD............Have FAITH.in YOURSELF

You are the only one that SHAPES your future and if you want it to be negative then that is what it will be.

STOP RUining things for yourself...


SAY IT THREE TIMES WITH ME OUT LOUD

I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS
I AM EXPECTING GREAT THINGS

Say it everyday and every night until it runs through your mind without hestitation..

This goes for all walks of life.........
