Thank You!

We want to thank all the parents who helped make the Joe O'Neill Invitational such a big success!  We could not have done it without your help! 

Between concessions and t-shirt sales we made over $1300 in profit for our program!  (Eat More Chicken :))

We'll be back at Bellevue on Thursday for the Blue Hen Conference meet.  We are planning a small scale concessions (drinks, leftover candy, and pretzels).  We are also selling shirts.  Click HERE if you are able to help that day.  There are only 18 teams in the conference so it will seem much calmer after Joe O'Neill.

This week's schedule is below:

Monday 10/22:  Brandywine Creek

Tuesday 10/23:  Bellevue

Wednesday 10/24:  School

Thursday 10/25:  Blue Hen Conference Meet
