Vice President:

Rachel Mark

I have been on the board as the equipment manager for the last 3 years and I have really enjoyed my time serving Tahoma Lacrosse Club in that way. It’s been beneficial to myself and to my player to volunteer behind the scenes.

Treasurer:

Jessica Cacciola

Our family has been a part of Tahoma Lacrosse for many years.   First with our oldest son who graduated last year and now with our youngest who currently plays on the 7/8 team.    Through the years I’ve been involved with the program as Team Manager, concessions and time keeping at games.  I’m excited to join the board and help contribute to the continued success of the program.

Secretary:

BJ Farish

I have enjoyed serving as the secretary for the past two years and would like to continue working with the board.   Volunteering with Tahoma Lacrosse is an opportunity to give back to a great program that has been a positive influence in my son's life.  He has played from cubs to high school.  I would like the opportunity continue the good work that has been done by so many volunteers in this organization.

Logistics Coordinator

Kelsey Isbell

I'm running for Logistics Coordinator for the 2020/2021 Tahoma Lacrosse season. I was the Logistics Coordinator for this past season and before that spent two years as the fundraiser chair.  I have two young sons who play for our club. My oldest has played with the club for 5 years and my youngest has now played for 2 years.

Boys Program Director

Scott Person

I have had the honor and pleasure of serving as the Boys Youth Coordinator for the past two years. No longer having kids in the youth program, it is time for me to pass the torch. I’d love the opportunity to continue to give back to the club and would be honored to serve as the Boys Program Director. The past two years has given me the historical knowledge of the club as well as the experience to successfully transition into this role. Thank you and Go Bears!! 

Boys Youth Coordinator

I was initially introduced to Tahoma Lacrosse when my oldest son came home in third grade with a flier and said, "I want to try lacrosse!"  And thus we had a Cub in the program.  Two years later, as I was roaming the practice field, I was asked whether I had a son in the program.  When I responded that yes, I do, that's him over there, I was told, "Oh, his coach needs an assistant.  Would you be interested?"  And with those simple words, my coaching career with Tahoma Lacrosse was started.  

Eight years later, after being a coach or assistant coach at various levels, I have developed a love for this sport, and the extended Tahoma Lacrosse family.  I would like to expand my support of the youth program, and continue the work that Scott has done in his previous two years in the coordinator role.
 

Girls Program Director

Catie Larsen

I have been with Tahoma Lacrosse for 14 years and had a part in creating the first Youth Girls team 6 years ago.  I was a past board member for many years so I am aware of how things work.  I want to continue helping with the girls side of our club to grow this great sport.  I would appreciate if you vote to keep me in this position.  Thank you!
 

Equipment Manager

Katie Leh

I’m Katie-my husband and I have 2 boys who love lax and can’t wait to get back on the field. We’ll have a 2nd and 5th grader next year.  We’ve had a great experience with the club the past few seasons and I’m looking forward to this opportunity to help out as the equipment manager.

Fundraising Chair

Jen Pretty

Hello!  My name is Jen Pretty I have two girls playing Lacrosse with Tahoma.  My girls were introduced to lacrosse through the Cubs program and they fell in love with the sport.  This year I took on the duties of team parent for the 3/4 girls team and have enjoyed learning more about the game and meeting other parents.

I have been involved for the past three years as the assistant coordinator of the MBBB fundraiser event at Crystal Mountain that has raised over $34,000 in three years.  This event is a full day event that involves local breweries, an on hill scavenger hunt and silent auction.  

I have also assisted in the Life to the Max Golf Tournament/fundraiser for the past 5 years, acquiring raffle and silent auction items as well as day of event operations support. 

As a parent I know there are many fundraising events during the school year that take time and usually “tap” the same groups of people.  I understand the need to have creative fundraising events that will not only raise money but increase visibility for Tahoma Lacrosse in the community at large.  I am committed to continue to grow and support Tahoma Lacrosse and would be honored to be the Fundraising Chair.

Girls Youth Director

Lindsi Wolf

I have served as the Girls Youth Coordinator for the past two years, and am wishing to continue. My daughter has been playing with Tahoma Lacrosse since 2016, and each year our family's passion for the sport continues to grows.

I am passionate about helping to keep the Girls Youth program alive and well, and to see the club as a whole succeed and grow. In my time as the girls youth coordinator we have over doubled the amount of girls registered.  I am also involved in various other volunteer positions, so I know first-hand the importance of volunteers and how much their duties are needed. 

My family and I are fully involved and committed to the club and the opportunities that it presents for the children of our community, and I want to do everything I can to ensure that the Girls Youth program continues to succeed!
