LONDON CALLING COED ULTIMATE TOURNAMENT
Greetings Fellow Ultimate Players!
The New London Calling website is now up and running, and we
are accepting bids for the third annual London Calling Coed
Ultimate Tournament, Aug 7th & 8th.
Check out http://www.londonultimate.ca/londoncalling for
more info.
************************************************************
THE ULTIMATE CARD
Want to help support Canadian Ultimate?
Sign up for The Ultimate Card.
Both types of cards, platinum and preferred, carry no annual
fee, but when an Ultimate player signs up, and is accepted
for the card, a portion of their net purchase amount will be
sent back to their respective League's administration. Their
League will then decide, we hope with their members input,
how that money will be used.
The result: cardholders will be helping to build, and to
support, the Ultimate community. What better way to increase
revenues for your League than to use The Ultimate card not
only on regular, everyday purchases, but also on purchases
from Ultimate related companies and others.
We hope that you will explore this exciting fund-raising
program. For more information, as well as an online
application, please visit www.theultimatecard.ca
