WHAT’s NEW?<br />
(let me tell you...)<br />
Why, this newsletter of course! NOVA is attempting to<br />
jump-start a monthly team newsletter to inform our alumni,<br />
family, friends, and recruits about our team. Please feel<br />
free to submit materials you would like included. Anything<br />
you think would be fun to put in our newsletters, please<br />
send to the editor at klstephen@yahoo.com. Spread the<br />
word to the lost ruggers of NOVA that the newsletter is sent<br />
out monthly to the active and social lists (so sign up! www.<br />
novawrfc.org) and will be posted on our website shortly. If<br />
you would like it snail-mailed to you, please contact<br />
the editor.<br />
the<br />
EDITOR<br />
brought to you by your<br />
NEW SPONSOR<br />
The newsletter is sponsored (in other words, designed and<br />
produced with the exception of the text, which is coming<br />
from the editor) by Melanie Test of Meltt Design and Iz<br />
Inc., frequently known as “sMellie.” Your new sponsor, who<br />
revels in all things design (and especiially all things design<br />
that involve <strong>rugby</strong> - how many tees and programs has she<br />
done?!), is inserting this text herself, both because the editor<br />
said she could and she needs to fill some space.<br />
Hooray for fun, hooray for pretty, hooray for NOVA!<br />
event writeup for<br />
MEMBERS ONLY<br />
(the band)<br />
On Saturday, September 16, members of the NOVA Nation, FONS (that’s “Friendsof-NOVA”)<br />
and more than a few unwitting stranger to NOVA Rugby descended on<br />
“My Brother’s Place” on Capitol Hill to enjoy the musical stylings of DC’s Cheesiest<br />
80s Tribute Band, Members Only (www.membersonly-theband.com).<br />
After going undefeated in two important matrix matches against Maryland and<br />
James River, NOVA arrived in their best 80s attire (LOVED the shoulder pads,<br />
Rookie) ready to Wang Chung like only the NOVA Nation can, while raising much<br />
needed funds to help send both NOVA squads to their respective national tournaments.<br />
All you can drink draft beer and half priced shooters helped NOVA find the dance<br />
floor early and remain there until well after last call. Props to Sandy “Joan Jett”<br />
Stowe and _________ “Cleopatra” ____________ for winning hot Members Only<br />
paraphernalia in the “I Love Rock and Roll” and “Walk Like an Egyptian” dance<br />
contests. We want to see that Members Only thong in action at the next show,<br />
Sandy!!!<br />
Big thanks to Members Only for taking time out of their busy tour of the metro DC<br />
area to help out their number one fans. The band played on into the wee hours<br />
of the morning to chants of “one more song!” from the inebriated crowd. Special<br />
thanks also goes to Stacy Bennett (or should I say “Staci”) from all of us that found<br />
Members Only tattoos in places we didn’t expect on Sunday morning.<br />
All in all, Saturday’s rockin’ 80s party was a huge success. The band kicked butt,<br />
the crown rocked out as only NOVA can, and the team had a successful night of<br />
fundraising. I think Members Only lead singer Jessie Jaguar put it best when he<br />
said: “I haven’t seen that kind of 80s love since the summer of ’69.”<br />
