Marketing Flyer
The WDPCC with the support of US Lacrosse has developed a new marketing flyer. We encourage everyone and anyone to download the flyer and spread the WDPCC gospel. http://www.lacrosse.org/wdpcc/WDPCCMktgFlyer_2007.pdf

USL Chapters and the WDPCC
We are working closing with USL’s Erin Sturgis to reach out to USL chapters. We know it only helps local clubs if they have the support of their local chapters. Meg Matthews, council member and Westchester player, is leading the charge. If you are interested in helping or have some ideas to share, please reach out to Meg.
