Champions Edge Field Hockey
- "I want to extend my personal thanks and the appreciation of the AREA II Board to you and your entire staff for all of your work in making our recent conferences a huge success. ....From the beginning of the process, your enthusiastic support and assurance that you and the University staff would be able to meet our needs put me at ease. Indeed everything was delivered as promised! Despite not having hosted a handbell event before, the "can do" attitude of all involved helped us to accomplish a most successful event. We enjoyed our time at The University of Scranton and work with your staff. ....it is certainly my recommendation and hope that The University of Scranton becomes part of the regular cycle for our biennial conferences. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality! Chris Braden, Chair - AGHER, Area II
