Hi Shaun,
Touching base. Plan to be a bit more active. Trying to get a copy of the camp schedule at Nova Southeastern so I can present it to the team. Ken's name doesn't pop up in the search here.
Hello Shaun,
Thanks for your friend request. Really love this forum that you and Jayson founded! Michelle
Hello Shaun,
Attach is a new brochure we are putting together in Columbia, SC. I have a meeting with our school district leaders to update more local numbers to place on the brochure. Mike Switalski coach with the Buffalo City Swim Racers has a program in Buffalo, NY that gave me the idea for this brochure. His program in New York gives children in low income house hold the opportunity to swim.
Thanks,
Stanley
