Hello Everyone!
       I wanted to pass along some information to you about a benefit that is happening this Sunday June 8th.  It is for Molly and Hank Forrest of the 1812 Hotel, Main St. Sodus.  Molly is Scott Schales' (assistant JV coach) mom, and a past Wrestling Booster Member.
       Due to a devastating fire on April 6th, 2008, they lost their business!  With no insurance, the expenses are overwhelming, so please come out for a good time and show your support.  Rascal's Bar and Grill 5708 Ridge Road, Williamson.  There will be a DJ, Silent Auction, and 50/50 raffles.  A donation at the door would be greatly appreciated.
Please pass this on to anyone you may think of that knows Molly and Scott.
Thanks to all of you for your support!

Wayne's Bobby Dierna and Vinnie DiGravio
have been named to the Daily Messenger All-League first-team all-stars for the 2008 winter sports season. 

The all-star teams, comprised of athletes from all the Finger Lakes Leagues, were chosen by our sports staff on the basis of three important factors - first-hand observation, statistical achievements and recommendation from coaches. Features on the teams will begin running in our paper later in April, and we hope they will add to what has been an exciting season for all athletes.
