Update from Zog Sports and Volunteer Information

Dear ZogSportsNJ Member, November 2, 2012 Sandy Update We hope that everyone is safe and doing well after the storm. Like many of you, the ZogSportsNJ office is still without power, so all staff are currently working remotely. We really appreciate your patience with cancelling and rescheduling games. We're hoping to have some leagues back and running by Monday.   All games this weekend are cancelled and we will do everything in our power to reschedule games (see gym/field conditions below).Please visit our Facebook page or call the Weather Alert Hotline at 201-604-6478 for the latest updates on the status of your games next week. How You Can Help ZogSports isn't just about playing sports or having fun, it's also about caring. It's about helping those in need and making a difference in our community.  Following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, volunteers and donations are desperately needed throughout the tri-state area, and we are committed to helping Hoboken and the surrounding areas get back on its feet.  So fellow Zoggers, let's get together, let's give back.  See below for how you can make an impact. Volunteer A group of Zoggers will be volunteering tomorrow (Saturday, 11/3 starting at 10am) at the Boys and Girls Club on Jefferson between 1st and 2nd to help with clean-up.  If you are available, we would love to have you join us... please bring boots, rubber gloves and any cleaning supplies you might have on hand as the Club is in really rough shape - see picture below. Let us know about additional volunteer opportunities on our Facebook page. We will be looking for ways to get the Zog community together to help out during the upcoming weeks. Donations Hoboken High School (8th and Clinton) is the primary location for donated goods! The city is in most need of the following items: blankets, coats, non-perishables specifically shelf-stable milk like Parmalat, canned goods, flashlights, batteries, and baby items such as diapers and formula! To make a monetary donation we recommend doing so through Party With Purpose. Gym & Field Updates Some facilities we partner with were hit especially hard. We are working to assist them in any way we can - please visit our facebook page for opportunities on how you can help these facilities and our community recover.
