Good morning, Just another quick update for everyone! We will be having a parent meeting this Wednesday (9/21/22) at 5:30pm at the Y conference room. This will cover some changes to the meet schedule, organizing parent board and volunteers, organizing a Facebook page for carpools, and giving a tentative fun event schedule! There will be a Q&A at the end for any questions, and I expect the meeting to take less than 30 minutes. Best, Joseph Shelly
