A look Inside the Newsletter
Just a friendly hello!
Hello Everyone!
June is finally here!
Summer has arrived.
What a magnificent month in Wisconsin.
We are blessed to watch the nature fill the empty
spaces around us. A once bare area will be full of
last year’s perennials.
The trees blossom with leaves and greeneries. It is
even nice to see the yellow dandelions after a cold,
snowy winter.
We all live in a great State. We may sometimes
take it for granite, but when you leave you realize
the beauty you have not been recognizing.
It is the same way with people. It is easy to take our
family and friends for granite. Life gets busy and
people get pushed aside; even though the people
around us make us whole.
The people we choose to surround ourselves with
bring out different aspects of our personalities. Part
of our personality is only revealed around certain
people in our lives. If you think about it, when you
first meet someone I would guess you probably
show them a ballpark of five-ten percent of who you
are. Showing higher percentages to other people is
a sign of a friendship and comfort ability.
Enjoy the summer, enjoy the people around you.
Look around and enjoy what you have no matter
what it is or how much it may be.
Live for what you have and not for what you want.
Only you can make it amazing!

Work Hours
The opportunity to put in work hours for the 20132014 season has now past. All of the events taking
place from here on out this year go towards your
2014-2015 season work hours.
If you were not able to fulfill your work hours you will
be charged $20.00 per hour.
There are many ways to put in your work hours
throughout the year. It starts in the summer with
many opportunities available to you during our
summer fundraising.
Some people choose to pay the $20.00.
If you have any questions about work hours you can

Senior Exit Projects
New Facility
As we all know the school referendum did fall short
st
from passing on April 1 .
We still need to look positively at how we can build
a new facility.
The school referendum may come up again in a few
months which would give our association more
options of building a new location.
If you have any ideas on a location or would like to
be on our long range planning committee please
contact John Hammes at 790-2927.
Upcoming Opportunities
***Day time Rink Manager***
[Mike Berghefer shown on left and Chad Brueggeman shown on right]
This year we had some very great senior exit
projects that were constructed around WSHA.
Thank you to our three seniors that dedicated their
projects towards hockey.
Thank you to Noah Belling for very ambitiously
opening his own business and locating the Sharp
Shack at our hockey facility. This allowed families to
have a convenient location to have their skates
sharpened this year. Noah also brought friendliness
and personality to his project. Noah deserves an
A+.
Thank you to Mike Berghefer for putting on the pond
hockey event this year. This allowed adults and
children to hit the ice and partake in a weekend of
fun. Mike presented $1,000.00 to Chad
Brueggeman the President of the hockey
association. What a great donation and awesome
accomplishment! Mike deserves an A+.
Lastly, thank you to Julian Grosskopf. Not only did
he help our goalies this year in improving their skills
and dedication, but he also helped inform people on
the seriousness of Crohn’s disease.
Julian raised $700.00, which will be given to Matt
Massie whom has been an outstanding goalie
coach for many years. Matt Massie is much
appreciated. WSHA also gave Julian $300.00 to
make it an even $1,000.00. Julian deserves an A+.
All three of these young men attended the May
General Membership Meeting and gave a brief
closing of how their senior exit projects turned out.
All three did an amazing job.
Thank you again to all three of these inspiring
seniors and good luck to all of you in the future!
WSHA is in need of an individual who can manage
and help maintain the ice during the day during the
2014-2015 season. If you are able, willing or know
someone who may be interested, please contact a
board member. This is greatly needed for next
season.
This is not a position that we can make do without.
We do have a couple guys that are going to help as
much as they can, but we need someone to take on
this as the actual manager.
If you have the time or are laid off during the winter
please consider this position!
Referee Scheduler
We are in need for someone to take on the position
as the ice scheduler. This is a very critical position
to maintain. Without referees we would not be able
to hold any games at our rink.
Please consider chairing this position.
If you are interested please contact Robin Komay at
[email protected] or any Board member.
Referees
WSHA is in need for someone to volunteer to be the
ref scheduler this year.
We seemed to be short referees this past year on a
number of occasions. Our Association could use a
lot more referees to help with games for this coming
season.
If you or your child 12 years of age or older is
interested in becoming a referee for the 2014-2015
season please contact Robin or a board member.
This is a great way to earn extra money during the
WSHA News
4
winter months, while helping our association out at
the same time.
Promotions
WSHA is in need for someone to take on helping
with promotional duties. This does not entail a lot of
work. The main duty would be writing small news
clips about upcoming and past events for the
Coulee News to help promote WSHA. (Ex. Team
making it to state, or large event taking place)
If you are interested in helping out with this duty
contact Kelly Cottrell at [email protected].
Policies & Bi-Laws
WSHA is in need of an individual or group of
individuals to sit on a policy & Bi-law committee. Our
policies and bi-laws were created with a lot of time
and thought. This position does not entail changing
the policies/bi-laws; it is to keep up with the small
changes and additions.
If you are interested in this position please contact
Robin Komay at: [email protected]
Upcoming Events
June Dairy Days
Parades
Last weekend the June Dairy Days parade took
place. It was a beautiful day.
Thank you to Autumn Grooms for volunteering her
time to take on the parades this year. She did a
great job at organizing one of our promotional tools
of the year.
It is great to promote WSHA during the summer
parades.
Parents and kids are encouraged to walk through
the WSHA parades.
These are great events. Look for more details on
upcoming parades.
Step up and become involved!
Go WSHA!
JDD’s Beer Tent
One of the most popular ways to put your work
hours in has now passed.
WSHA worked in the beer tent last weekend.
Everything went smooth.
Like most years in the past there was a little rain
Saturday night, but that does not keep the crowd
from hanging around and listening to the bands.
Amanda Skrede has taken over the beer tent
fundraiser the last two years. She always does a
remarkable job at making sure everything is taken
care of. She puts a lot of time and dedication into
her passion for hockey and WSHA.
Thank you Amanda! Your help and dedication is
refreshing!
Face Off
Adam Daniels stepped up as Chair of the Face Off
committee. He is very much appreciated.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, October
th.
11
The prizes will be as follows:
1 $10,000
5 $1000
10 $200
There will be 600 tickets sold, which is a raise from
last year of 80 tickets. Members will receive 1 free
ticket for every 10 sold. An exciting new twist has
been implemented this year.
If you sell the winning ticket you will get $1000.00.
Any tickets sold the evening of the event will be
credited back to the association, as they cannot be
given credit to any one individual at that point.
The WSHA Face Off event has become our biggest
fundraiser of the year. We can make it even bigger
this year. Much has been learned and noted in the
last couple of years.
There will be a cross bow given away for the Early
Bird winner at the Golf Outing.
Once again prime rib will be served.
The band, Coyote Wild will be playing for the first
time.
Get ready for this event. It is going to be an event
that people will remember.
Do your part and sell your tickets
Thank you again to Adam for stepping up to chair
this amazing event!
2014 Golf Outing
The Annual Golf Outing will take place this year on
Aug 23 at Fox Hollow.
WSHA News

Put this date on your calendar. It is a great event to
wind down the summer fundraising activities.
This is always a great event that is known to be a lot
of fun.
Megan Weibel and Sara Langrehr will once again
chair this event.
The Golf outing does take a lot of time and
preparation to putting it together.
These ladies have already formed their committee
and are setting plans into motion.
Look out for more information as the event grows
closer.
We thank the whole committee for putting our
annual Golf Outing together!
