My original intention was to develop waveny.net into a community portal centered around the myriad of activities at Waveny. A place to coordinate schedules, check events, maybe even find a game or activity to join, make friends, share comments and concerns, learn and enhance the enjoyment of our public park.
Imagine team coaches updating field location and game time from a PDA, then the site automatically notifying everyone on the team by SMS or email instantly!
This page has the following sub pages.
