This is the time of the year when most folks really rush outside and enjoy shrugging off the winter chills and get ready for spring sports and other YMCA programs. It’s also that time of the year when the BRLS registrar ages about 5 or 6 years in just 2 months! I want to lift up all the work that Brianne is doing to make sure the BRLS week is actually able to happen. In fact, the entire SLT works year round even though there is ebb and flow to each area. So I begin with a huge word of thanks as they have really engaged a lot of folks in meaningful dialog to enhance an already great week.

As we close in on 60 days until the school I want to invite you to one of a series of advisor webinars (club officers also invited). Each webinar will be used to discuss any last minute alterations to the school (class, clinics, general scheduling) as well as a time to address any questions or thoughts from the clubs.

Space is limited to 30 participants each session, so I encourage you to RSVP quickly to ensure you get your first choice. To RSVP please Email Amanda Jaehnen at ajaehnen@gmail.com. Once she has confirmed your spot in the webinar she will send you the link to follow.

The dates and times are:

April 17th @ 7:30PM

April 18th @ 7:30PM

May 1st @ 7:30PM

May 4th @ 7:30PM

Aside from the 3rd week of June, Early April is my second favorite time of the year because The Masters is my unofficial start of spring. But trust me, you’ll know much more about that later! Stay tuned
