Spring Club Dates - 3/24, 4/7, 4/21, 5/5, 5/12
Be thinking about which club you’d like to supervise. The weather will be terrific in the spring, and I know that kids want to be outside! We had the most sign ups for basketball, kickball, frisbee, etc. Please consider hosting an active group! We have high demand for it.
