They could bring them to their lead coach at practice to be collected, or they can mail it to Dad Miller (address below). This will be something simple you can do to show our volunteers an extra thank you for all the great work they do.

Weather

Wear

We'd like to remind our participants to dress for the cool weather. I know we tend to get a little cold once the sun goes down, so maybe bring an extra jacket or even some cozy gloves to stay warm. Layering is great option.
