Annual Banquet News 8/9
The Annual Banquet is rebooked for Sunday, 8/9. Do you have recent quarantine off-ice photos to share? Please send what you have via email to Jessica at johara2010@gmail.com.

We like action shots, athletes and coaches, group shots, whatever sums up your year on the ice. If possible, please indicate in the email who is in each photo or video (or something along lines of ‘adult theatre team’ for large group photos). This will help us greatly.
