CB Lightning Lacrosse Leadership News
With the turning of the seasons heading into the fall of '09, CB Lightning Lacrosse will see a change in President. Our program has typically rotated the position in 2-3 year cycles and we are again at that point in time. Anthony Ventresca was voted into the President position at our season's end closeout meeting on June 16th. Anthony brings an enthusiasm and spirit to the role and has played a significant part in developing our 1st/2nd grade level into a model program at the youth level. On behalf of the lacrosse leadership team, we are excited about the future as we continue to build our program. It has been my distinct pleasure to serve as President over the past three years and I will continue to be involved in the leadership team and coaching staff of the program. Enjoy your summer and we'll see you at Fall Ball '09!! Brian Zappala |

| Herbst fields lighting |
Please consider attending....... APPEAL ACTIONS OF ZONING OFFICER:
Applicant: CBAA
Date: June 3, 2009 @ 7:30 PM Directions: Municipal Building Plumstead Administration and Police Offices
5186 Stump Road, Plumsteadville PA 18949
Click here for Mapquest map and driving instructions. This hearing will address the field lighting issue at Herbst Sports Complex. Plumstead Twp provided in its approval of the Herbst Phase II Plan ("Back Fields") that lighted sports would be provided by Plumstead Twp by July 2008 or that CBAA would be allowed to install lights at Herbst. The Plumstead Twp Supervisors have not fulfilled met this obligation. In the fall of 2008, CBAA sought a permit and placed temporary lights at Herbst; it is unclear as to what happened during the permitting and approval process but a permit was not issued and shortly thereafter CBAA was cited for operating these lights at Herbst. As many of you are aware, these lights were shutdown by 9 PM on weeknights and were not used on weekends. This hearing is to resolve the Zoning Officer citation issued to CBAA; more importantly, it is an opportunity for all CBAA members especially Plumstead residents to tell the Twp to support youth recreation with playing fields. Many of you may not be aware of this but Plumstead Twp provides no municipally-owned park and facilities for use by CBAA programs (basketball, soccer, and lacrosse) and Plumstead youth athletes make up nearly one-third of the CBAA membership. Please come out and support CBAA at this hearing; if you cannot attend the hearing then please contact the Plumstead Twp Supervisors contact by phone, email, mail or in person and tell them to support youth recreation in our local communities. |

| '09 Irish Skirmish continues the Tradition!!!! |
 The 4th Annual Irish Skirmish was held on Saturday, April 25th and Sunday, April 26th at the Herbst Sports Complex in Pipersville, PA. Over 100 teams participated in this truly great mid-season lacrosse tournament. Teams from New York, Maryland and New Jersey will joined our local teams in Pennsylvania. While the tournament is supported by the tremendous volunteer effort of our parents, the CB Lightning Lacrosse program would like to extend a special note of gratitude and recogition to the Tournament Director, Kevin Milici. Kevin's passion, dedication and drive certainly resonates throughout the event each year. We would also like to recognize Mark Butler, our Fields Director, for preparing our home fields at Herbst Sports Complex to showcase our "home turf".
We are all looking forward to the 5th Irish Skirmish in 2010!!! |
