DC-Area Alumni,

Are you looking for a new outdoor activity to get you out of the house or away from work and help you blow off some steam?
Are you interested in socializing and networking with more like-minded alumni from USNA and over 70 colleges/universities from around the country? Does the idea of playing coed softball on a summer evening at the base of the Washington Monument
sound really cool to you?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, please come out and join USNA's Alumni Coed Softball team in the 2009 Capital Alumni Network (CAN) Softball League! http://www.leaguelineup.com/welcome.asp?url=navyyarddawgs

2009 will be Navy's fourth season in the CAN Softball League. The USNA team, nicknamed the "Yard Dawgs," currently has a roster of male and female alumni and spouses representing the Classes of 1959-2004. Last year's team maintained its reputation as one of the more fun, competitive teams to play on the field and has used that reputation to establish new, lasting friendships with members of other CAN alumni organizations. The season will consist of 14 regular season games, usually one per week, followed by a post-season tournament that had over 1300 participants last year!

Softball skills are nice to have, but not required, to be a member of the Yard Dawgs. What's more important is that you're a team player with a great attitude and a competitive spirit looking to have some fun with area alumni.

If you're interested in becoming part of the Navy Yard Dawgs, please contact coach David Johnson, USNA '91, by email (djnamaste@hotmail.com) or phone (cell: 360-929-8877) for more information.

Go Navy!

From CAN's Website (www.dcalum.org):

"The purpose of CAN is to foster activities, networking, friendship and intercollegiate spirit between local alumni club members; to create a social forum where there is interaction between university and college alumni chapters and their members; to provide a source for activity-planning information and resources; and to participate in activities that display the diversity and strengths of the various Capital-area alumni chapters."
