ANOTHER SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE
We are coming to the end of another season. I hope you have enjoyed this season and have some wonderful memories to carry with you. I hope you and your child have learned a little bit more about the game of soccer and sportsmanship. I also hope you have all made some new friendships along the way.
EPLW looks forward to seeing you all back next year for a great season filled with wonderful memories.
SPECIAL THANK YOU

Karin Eichelberger, Bryan and Jody Schmeltz, and Kathy Anderson made sure the fields were lined for the games each week.
