A message from Commissioner Wong
"A few of you have asked me about fees for the upcoming season. I get charged $55 a season for liability insurance and I still have enough money in my basketball fund for the next 2 years, so there is no charge for the season. However, given we are all so fortunate to have a great gym to play in, I feel that we should do a little something for the less fortunate people in the world. As a result, all full time players will be asked to make a modest donation in their name (so they get the tax receipt) to a charitable organization of their choice, honour system. $15 for students or part-time workers (I doubt we have many) and $30 for full-time workers."
