Chris in his element
The Lincoln Lacrosse Community wants to thank Chris for his dedication, time and effort to help building the program alongside Will and many other great parents.
Comments from outgoing President Chris Crever -
"As we wrap up this year, we also want to announce some changes at the Board level. After 7+ years serving on the Lincoln Lacrosse Board, and the last 2 years serving as Board President, I will be stepping down by the end of this year and Chris L'Hommedieu will be assuming the role as Board President. His leadership along with a strong and fundamentally sound Board is reason for everyone in our lacrosse community to feel very hopeful for the future ahead.
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Lincoln Lacrosse Community over these years. I have 2 boys who started in our program when they were in 3rd and 5th grade respectively.
Today, they are in college and are young men looking forward to a bright future ahead of them. I hope everyone in our program can experience a similar joy that Lincoln Lacrosse has brought to myself and my family over the years."
Chris along with Tom Carney will be joining our Birds of a Feather Advisory Board to help provide ongoing guidance to the Club.

Holiday Hustle Play Days
The holiday season is upon us, and we are happy to announce our “Holiday Hustle” Play days - our first opportunity to return to the field since the COVID pandemic started. Because of the generous donations from our club members, these will be free of charge to participants. However, in order to stay within the guidelines for COVID safety and field rules, we will be limiting participants to 30 kids per session. We will maintain a waitlist to accommodate additional participants as we are able. Our initial sessions will be limited to Grades 5 through High School, and we will be looking for opportunities for our younger players to return to play in the new year.
Our first priority will be to keep participants safe and healthy, and to do so, we will be following a recommended set of procedures and using the Healthy Roster SAFER app for COVID monitoring. These guidelines are available at the registration link or via request. A huge Thank You to Orthopedic+Fracture Specialists for sponsoring the Heathy Roster SAFER app!

Howard’s Heart Gift Card Drive
As a way to give back to the community this holiday season, the Lincoln Lacrosse Club would like to extend an opportunity to support Howard’s Heart, a local organization dedicated to providing individualized, needs-based support to teens in foster care. As teens involved in the foster system grow up, their needs grow with them. School supplies, college application fees, and extracurricular activities all cost time and money that many vulnerable teens and families find beyond their reach. For more information about Howard’s Hearts mission, please visit https://howardsheart.org/home.
Over the next week, we will be collecting gift cards to support these foster teens in need during the holiday season. Adrienne L’Hommedieu has volunteered to collect the gift cards and deliver them to Howard’s Heart on behalf of the Lincoln Lacrosse Club. Gift cards from Target, Ross, Gamestop, or Amazon are preferred, and any denomination is appreciated.
There are three ways to participate:
Drop off your gift card at 9111 NW Esson Ct, Portland, OR 97229 or at the Holiday Hustle Play Days
Contact Adrienne at 214-208-9770 or at alhommed@yahoo.com, and she will arrange a pickup
Venmo your donation to @Adrienne-LHommedieu, and she will purchase gift cards
Deadline to participate is Sunday, December 13th in order to ensure the gift cards will be delivered to Howard’s Heart in time to help make some holiday wishes come true!
Happy Holidays and Go Cards!
