Please remember to attend the Team Banquet/Awards on Monday, June 5th. This year we will have food first and then awards afterward. More details to come!
As the season is nearly complete we’d like to remind everyone to stay safe and healthy. Everyone has worked very hard to this point and we don’t want injuries to happen.
