We are excited to gather as one team and celebrate the past 2023-24 Short Course Season. The banquet will be catered by Las Tortillas, and we are ensuring we have options for all dietary needs. We’ll have a short presentation of awards as well as ending the night with some dancing. Please note, we are requesting everyone to dress up – think of appropriate attire to wear at a wedding. Sorry kids, no joggers allowed. We are looking for crayon donations to be used at the banquet. Please bring some if you can!
