In Mexico, we would be celebrating our quinceanera, so to make it global, we will step it up a notch by showcasing Filipino fashion by Toni Galang.

If you have always thought that a Barong is only for politicians and formal weddings, this fashion show will bring you to a whole new dimension of modernity with tradition.

Please support your league and community by being present on Saturday May 19th at Sea-Tac Hilton 6PM. Bring your family and pass down the Filipino culture through current fashion. Tickets are available at INAY's Asian Pacific Cuisine and also your corresponding Working Committee Member. If you feel you can not afford the tickets at this time, LAFBL will accept any donations you are willing to give. Just write and send a check to: LAFBL C/O Bert Golla P.O. Box 55371 Seattle , WA 98155 

We hope to see you there!

The Life After Forty Basketball League uses the Quotient System to calculate the standings of each team during the season. How do you compute for the quotient system?
Instructions:

1. Add to find the sum of the number of attempts. In sports, this would be the number of games played.
   
   
2. Divide the number of successful attempts by the total number of attempts. Compute and express the quotient to three places past the decimal point. For example, eight attempts with one successful attempt would be expressed as a win-loss ratio of 0.125. This number is calculated by dividing 1 (successful attempt) by 8 (total attempts).

That's it! Good luck!!!

Welcome back to the first games of the Spring 2012 season! We hope you have had a full weekend rest and ready to take on the new and of course not-so-new players.

Please take some time to read our most recent edition of Spring 2012 Dobol Dribol Newsletter.

After reading the newsletter, please help your league celebrate our 15th year anniversary by sharing this poster of our Toni Galang's Fashion Show Fundraising event in May with your family and friends. We hope to see you there!

The website was down for a brief moment because of a minor hiccup. It has been reactivated and because of the hiccup, the photo gallery had to be removed. Don't worry, it will be up again soon. We apologize for this delay and hope that you will still like us on Facebook! You can also post photos from the LAFBL games and players on there to share with the rest of the community.

If you have any vacation plans for the next year and don't want to miss a single game, the spring game schedule runs on Sundays starting from April 22nd until July 8th at Jefferson Community Center. Further information will be posted on the website as soon as the team rosters are finalized.

The commitment fees for Spring 2012 Season are also past due. This means you have forfeited your current playing spot and late players will be placed in the waiting list. You can contact any of the Working Committee members for any questions or concerns about your commitment fee.

Another reminder that the new uniforms have arrived. Please send your payments in so you can continue playing with your comrades! If you have received your new uniforms, please wear the complete top and shorts on game days. The newest edition of Dobol Dribol is now available for you to read!!!

Bring your family and invite your friends to come watch you on the court! You can also arrive a few minutes earlier than your scheduled game to support your fellow players and at the same time, get some good stretching to warm those muscles up and running! It is a great time to show an example to everyone that you can still be active as years go by...

The new website is still coming along just fine. It is still currently continuing a lot of updates and rennovations but thank you for your continuous support. If you have any suggestions or comments please send them to: admin@lafbl.org or any one of our Working Committee members!

Thank you for your patience,

LAFBL Working Committee
