Director's Corner
It's hard to believe that another year has gone by so
quickly. The End of Year party was a lot of fun, and the athletes,
along with their families and friends, surprised our coaches,
assistants, and volunteers with plaques thanking them for their
volunteerism and hard work throughout the year. I would like to
add my thanks to everyone's efforts to make our program such a success.
Thank you everyone.
