Message from
Jamey,
As we role out the initial issues of the Stickbrain Report I just want
to thank you fellow ™Stickbrain's for all of the wonderful support we
have received as we work to make this the premier place for real
lacrosse Players, Parent's, Coaches, and Fans. We are not a big corporate business, we are just
lacrosse fans like you, and the fact that you recognize that, and
choose to support us on our mission is very important to me, and my
family.
I want you to know that I love to hear from you, so please contact us anytime and let us know what is on your mind, or what we can
do to help you on your lacrosse journey and ultimately to make this the most useful lacrosse resource around.
Also please make sure to add us to your safe senders lists and white list us, so we don't get filtered by your spam blockers.
Thanks again for all of your support and good luck with your seasons,
Jamey
