UNIFORMS:
If you have any warm-ups that do not fit your jumper anymore, PLEASE donate them to the Kangaroo Kids. We are in need of warm-ups. Maybe you ordered extra pants or a jacket when they grew? Can we have the outgrown set back please?
UNIFORM COMMITTEE: WE NEED YOU!
Next year we will have to order new warm-ups. So join the committee now to help make choices for the next year. Meetings will be online. You will do some online research for prices etc. This counts as service hours, while helping to do a great service for our team for next year. Please join Jill Calhoun. Let her know you would like to be a part of this committee! jcdnd90@gmail.com
