2007-2008
New England Colonials Tours
Celebrating 28 Great Years!
We are very proud
of our Colonials' players, alumni, and families
for their outstanding commitment to our international
tours and guests during the spring, summer, and
fall of 2007.
Our
very special thanks to Geert Baeyens of Belgium, Tobbe
Lyrstrom of Lund, Simon Geschke of Hamburg, and
Jerome Batzersen of the Falcon Basketball Club
in Copenhagen for their great assistance in
helping to arrange our initial Colonials'
Spirit tour.
The
final week of June saw our '07 International Colonials
arrive from ten nations for a weekend at the Frankin
Pierce Team Camp and a two-week tour of New
England. This 27th anniversary tour saw the IntCols
play and visit in four of the six New England
states while traveling nearly 1300 miles in the
process.
This
was an outstanding IntCol team on and off the
basketball court. They made many friends for us
throughout their New England tour and they played
some great basketball along the way.
Our
sincere thanks to all our donors, host contacts,
and all our host families for opening your gyms,
your homes and your hearts to these young
players from around the world. We are very
grateful!
Our
New England Colonials tours are dedicated to Plan
International, an organization that has been helping
the world's most vulnerable children since 1937.
To learn more about Plan, please visit www.planusa.org.
Now
for our 28th season, we look forward to great
overseas tours for our Rovers, Ambassadors, and
Spirit teams (see below). We'll
also welcome a new group of International Colonials
in late June.
To
learn how you can host an IntCol player next summer,
