Great reports from Elaine and Rosana from their trip and swim meet in Brazil. They both competed in pool and open water events. Elaine had numerous gold medal performances, Rosana placed very well with some great times posted, and both brought home great memories and a fantastic visit and experience.The Spurs office contacted me and presented a game package offer for Spurs and Rampage games. The Spurs play the 18th and the Rampage plays on the 19th of Oct. You will get both tickets for only $15. They are valued at $53. They want to sell as many seats as possible early in the season and figured we’re an athlete based program and may be interested. Let me know if you’d like to check out the flyer and order form. (I cannot attach it when sending out mass emails). You will order through them directly with a check or credit card by Oct 16th. If we get enough bodies, they said they’ll put our team name up on the score board at the Rampage game!We wish our team group that is taking on the Grand Canyon this weekend, lots of fun, laughter, and pictures.
