GI Aviators

I am sure that most everyone has either read or heard about the news article that was in The Arizona Republic on Saturday, October 4, 2003. Our children and their safety, whether on the field or off, are one of our top priorities. Good hygiene should be observed and practiced at all times. Water bottles and large water coolers should be sanitized after each use. Therefore, anyone who has or is in charge of the water bottles and large water coolers should be washing these with a dilute bleach solution {1 capful of household bleach with 1 gallon of water}. This was the published recommendation by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. Also, make sure that the use of any water bottles during practice or games, never, touches or gets close to another's mouth. This is a mandatory procedure that must be observed by everyone in our program. V. Gamby, Federation Commissioner
