BOARD POSITIONS OPEN
We have a couple of opportunities for any of you who would like to get more involved. We are looking for a volunteer coordinator and someone to assist with fundraising. We will definitely walk alongside you throughout the season, but need these positions filled. Please reach out to one of the board members if you are interested or have any questions. Reaching out does not mean you are volunteering.
COMPETITIVE FUND
The first $150 payment was due August 1. The second $150 payment was due on September 1. Please check your balances in CHARMS and get those payments in so we do not have to CANCEL any competitions this season.
