OUR 100TH ISSUE OF TWIO!

(IN THE CURRENT ERA AND FORMAT)

In 2011, OYO introduced a new email communique to streamline our content and provide you with a single source of information each week. However, as the league's operating systems evolved through the years from SportsManager to League Toolbox to LeagueApps, OYO also transitioned TWIO from text-based emails to our current content management platform in 2020. In this era of communicating with all our families, this issue marks the 100th issue of TWIO.

SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION TO OUR SPONSORS THIS SUNDAY

Each and every season, OYO receives amazing support from our sponsors. Not only do their generous donations help offset team costs, but they help keep registration fees affordable for all. So, once again, on Sunday, September 29 is Sponsor Appreciation Day. There will be a handful of sponsors present at the park, and we encourage all families to stop by their tables and learn more about their businesses while thanking them for their support!
