Spaghetti Dinner is Thursday night at Casey Browns house. Directions will be handed out at practice.
Parents shirts should be distributed then (if they have come in). If they have not come in we have told the vendor to keep them. Please send your check for $15/shirt with your runner to the dinner or practice on Friday. Plan on wearing them proudly on Saturday!
