OCUA SPRING FIELD POLICY

OCUA would like to remind people to stay off of league 
fields until the beginning of league play. This is necessary 
to allow the fields the proper time to dry.

To help with the 'spring fever' that some people might feel, 
OCUA has arranged pickup times on the University of Ottawa's 
new field. For more information, see below.

HOW YOU CAN HELP ULTIMATE IN OTTAWA

The city is looking to fill up to six positions on the Parks 
and Recreation Advisory Committee. It's a one, two, or three 
year term, with meetings approximately once a month, in the 
evenings. The city will even help cover childcare, parking, 
bus fares and mileage to get you to the meeting.

The terms of reference for this committee are here:
http://city.ottawa.on.ca/city_council/advisory_comtt/parks_en.shtml

This is a great opportunity to help get more support for 
Ultimate from the city, and it is only one evening a month 
(about 4 hours). Don't just assume that someone on our 
overworked board will step up and do this... get involved!

To apply, you need to submit a letter of application - 
indicating the committee you would like to serve, an outline 
of your qualifications, and your home address by Friday, 
April 12 at 4:30pm to:

Stephani Roy, Supervisor

10TH ANNUAL ANGEL BALL

It takes place every Spring at the Government Conference 
Centre (across from the Chateau) and is a total blast.  The 
Angel Ball is going ahead this year on April 27, 2002 and 
your attendance would be greatly appreciated. Although later 
this year, it is going to be a great event!  We've taken the 
extra time to create some new and exciting experiences this 
year-you won't want to miss it. This year we are having a 
Martini lounge with Lance Baptiste spinning acid Jazz, an 
ice bar and luge run, a zen lounge, a live band, and the 
main dance floor which will have a 3 massive video screens 
(and for those of you who were their last year, this year we 
will have a play list for the d-jay!).

In its 10th year, the Fund for a New Generation's Angel Ball 
raises funds for the local OCRI School Breakfast Program, 
feeding hungry kids throughout the Ottawa-Carleton Region.  
Your continued support helps kids in your neighbourhood 
start the day out right. Last year we had over 800 people at 
the Government Conference centre and raised over $75 000 for 
kids breakfasts in Ottawa.  For more information on the Fund 
for a New Generation, the Gala, and where to get tickets, 
please visit our website at http://www.ottawagala.com, call 
our Information Line at 262-GALA or get in touch with me.

If you have any questions that aren't answered on the 
website, please feel free to give me a call or send me an e-
mail: at 238-7858 x244 or dbrook@ppforum.ca

Thanks,

David Brook
Co-Chair, The Organizing Committee for the 10th Annual Angel 
Ball
