Dear Parents,

Here is some information about opportunities for your kids to compete beyond the Tidal Waves summer season. Please review the information and RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL BY FRIDAY, JUNE 17 IF INTERESTED IN EITHER OPPORTUNITY. Responding is not a firm commitment, but we need a tentative head count for the ASA meet and can pass along more details to you directly for the GRPA meet(s).
