Due to the weather forecast for this Saturday, we will be postponing the car wash at Orinda Motors. We are looking to reschedule it to Saturday, October 30th – same place, same time.

We will keep you posted.

Thanks!

Thanks to all the parents that made delicious food and /or helped serve at last night’s Team Dinner. It was a great success! We couldn’t have done it without all of you wonderful volunteers.

I am very sorry about the delay in getting the Cross Country Warm Up Jacket and/or Pants to those who ordered them. Unfortunately, we inherited a supplier from last year that has failed to deliver the order to us on time. I am working everyday on getting this order ASAP. I know the kids are anxious to get their warm ups.

Again, I apologize for this delay. I appreciate the kids’ and your patience and understanding.

Thank you,
Lana
