The RYLA students were unable to make it to our meeting today so we spoke about Wiffle for Kids.  We are in decent shape with sponsorships and Corporate teams, but can really use more competitive teams.  (We don't have a single team registered at this point!)  Please help spread the word about the competitive tournament and the Family Fun Fest.  Click on the links below for forms.
