Upcoming Events and Updates
Dear Ausra Member:
As you have certainly heard, there will be a Sportų Švente held in Lietuva
next June /July. The Lithuanian Sports Clubs in Southern Ontario got
together and decided that as respects basketball we will send all-star
teams comprising players from Aušra, Anapilis, Vytis and Hamilton Kovas.
Try-outs for these all star teams will be open to all members of Aušra
(and members of the other organizations) starting in early September.
Some points to consider:
- The cost of the trip
is expected to be in the range of $2,500 to $3,000 per player –
depending on cost of flights.
- The basketball
tournament will be held between June 25th and June 29th so you must be
able to get there at least a day or two before hand. In certain cases
this may mean ending school a few days early
- Fund raising efforts
will take place to alleviate the cost of the trip.
- The organizers will
provide food and lodging for athletes and coaches from June 24th to June
30th only – after that you are on your own financially. After the
completion of the games, each team may decide to tour Lietuva for a
period of time.
- Parents will be
required to make their own arrangements including accommodation, meals
etc
We will post new information as received.
Please send any questions to
info@ausra.net
