President’s Message

Welcome to all former, current and future Pittsburgh Harlequins!

First of all, we would like to say thank you to all of the alumni, visitors and businesses that have donated to the Pittsburgh Harlequins RFA! Please know that our mission to provide children the opportunity to participate in the great sport of rugby is only made possible by your continued generosity.

This spring/summer we have provided financial support to local youth rugby organizations and direct financial support to individual student athletes so that they could travel to events where they were selected to compete on a national level. All Harlequins should be proud of the opportunities for success that we have provided to area youth and young adults and we will continue to work to expand these opportunities in the future.

If you have not already done so, please make sure you register through the website so that we can keep you updated on the events scheduled for that weekend. We would love to see you.

The improvements at the Clubhouse and particularly the playing fields is nothing short of stunning to say the least. Some are obvious; big screen TV, floors refinished, locker rooms completely repainted in scarlet and royal (thanks to the current playing side.) Some are not so obvious; restroom plumbing completely replaced, air conditioning revamped, new gutters, etc. All of this work has made Founders Field an even more inviting place to play and watch rugby. Come see for yourself!

If you have any questions, concerns or ideas, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Yours in rugby,

Roger D. Rees
President
