Thanks Rene for taking the coaches gifts on! Good idea collecting at ice cream party. I'm wondering if there could/should be an option to also contribute at practices next week. For those that won't be at the party? I could possibly be a helper when I'm at the pool for the second session. Also huge thanks for getting the state hotels back down to 89, I had no luck with the lady in charge of the group sales. Not sure who your contact person was but way to go on that!! ~Carol > On Jul 10, 2014, at 9:44 PM, "RENEE OSTERGREN" <rostergren@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > Awesome! > Renée Ostergren > ~ enjoy the now ~ > > > > >> On Jul 10, 2014, at 9:41 PM, John Hutton <john.f.hutton@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> Thanks Renee!
