Jun 22, 2011 - No practice.
Come and
enjoy a day at Water World with our team.
Purchase
your ticket at either King Sooper or at the Water World Gate. Information
on discount tickets can be found here.
Jackie
Brown, Terry Ary, and Corrie O'Brien are going to reserve a table and a spot on
the grass with a Franklin Fish sign, up at the Top Wave pool, (I believe it is
called Captain Jack's) right behind the cabanas. The organizers will arrive at
about 9:30 to be there right as the gates open at 10. So that way we can go
stake out that spot.
Coaches
cannot provide transportation or supervision. Please plan to supervise
your own children
See http://www.waterworldcolorado.com/
for ticket prices and directions.

entering all the volunteer opportunities for Prelims and Finals into www.signupgenius.com

Parent
Representatives NEEDED!
Being a Parent Rep is a great
opportunity to get more involved in the team. We would ask that you spend one
season being mentored, then during the second season take on a leadership role.
