Thanks to all the teams who paid their league fees promptly. It is hoped the last inevitable few that didn't will pay in the next couple of days. If they don't pay before their matches on Wednesday, penalties will be imposed.
Also greatly appreciated is the number of score sheets that have been handed in and, on the most part, the prompt entering of match scores into the website. It is the responsibility of BOTH captains, not just the captain of the home side to ensure the match is entered correctly and that all the names are correct. All captains should have a login by now. If you don't have a login, please email me asap as after this coming Wednesday I'll be away for the next 5 weeks.
If, especially during this holiday period, captains are away, another team member can be designated a co-captain who can also enter match scores and edit the team. If you contact me I can set this up.
For other members who wish to login to the website, ask your team captain to enter an email address and username for you by using the edit player option. Then they can click on the forgot password option on the front page of the website and login help will be emailed to them.
Finally, anyone still looking for a team or who knows someone who wants to play this season, JR Pub is looking for players.
Good luck to everyone this season, shoot well and have fun.

We will: review the past season; hand out awards to teams, playoff winners, mid-season tournament winners, and our most successful individual players of the season; have a raffle; and enjoy the banquet—hopefully in the company of many of our members.
Guests are welcome to the banquet. Please understand that we need to charge a KRW30,000 entrance fee for non-members of the Itaewon Pool League. For members (anyone who played at least one game during the last season) entrance is free, as it is covered through league dues paid by each team.

Hope to see you this Friday!

This season the league will be donating money to an orphanage called Myung Jin Children's Welfare Center, which is located near Gubeundari Station (굽은다리역) on Seoul subway line 5 (in Cheonho Dong in the southeastern part of Seoul).
The center will use our donation on scholarships for the kids. A speaker from the charity will come to the banquet to say a few words about the place and thank the league members for their contribution.
The orphanage has also asked if league members might donate some simple items of which the center is in short supply.
They have given me a Christmas Wishlist, so if anybody wants to donate any of the following, there will be a drop box provided in the Crown Hotel on the night of the banquet:
Priority items in short supply:
Toilet paper
Shower gel (not hair shampoo, as it is a luxury the center does not have enough funds to replenish)
Laundry detergent (preferably liquid detergent with fabric softener)
Other items:
Toothbrushes
Socks (featuring cartoon characters such as The Simpsons or Doraemon)
Toys
A tin of beans
There are 99 kids at the center; 52 boys and 47 girls.
- Kindergarteners: 9 (Boys 6; Girls 3)
- Elementary school students: 36 (Boys 17; Girls 19)
- Middle school students: 26 (Boys 16; Girls 10)
- High school students: 20 (Boys 8; Girls 12)
- College students: 8 (Boys 5; Girls 3)
