VOLUNTEERING:

  • We have had several new members join the board from all three sites and we are always looking for more – come join the FUN.
  • We are still looking for parents interested in learning to be officials – officials are invaluable to our success and quite frankly give you a much better and more comfortable view then the stands 😊
  • OUR NEXT HOSTED MEET IS 1/6-7/2024 – don’t forget to sign up and help and get your sweet, neon yellow shirt if you haven’t already

Have a blessed and amazing week!
