[Pickup] Last email, map of Union Fields, forecast 67 DEGREES!!!

[Bob Rossi]

Several have asked me where Union Fields were and a couple have said, "see
ya at Cass!" so I made a pretty map and stuck it on the IAUA home page:

http://iaua.com

A few things...
 - the forecast is perfect!  67 degrees at 5pm.  56 degrees at 8pm.
 - sue will be selling discs and extra summer league shirts
 - we will give out prizes for a variety of things.
 - we will set up at 4pm.  Lights will go on at 6pm.
 - show up when you can, jump in, and play.

Boo!
