A few notes about what is happening with our Aspire teams…..
1. Due to our fundraising efforts over the last year, the APSG will be paying for all athletes to go to Sunsplash on July 19th. Please see your coaches for more information. Cheer, T&T, Boy’s and Girls teams are all invited.
2. The Grand Canyon State Games was a great success. Even with more gymnasts than we expected, it went pretty well and we all had a good time. Our parent and athlete volunteers stepped up HUGE in helping with setup, cleanup, concessions, raffle, etc.. Thanks so much to all who helped, and thanks to Scott and Dona for donating the use of their facility. If you came to help and I couldn’t find a spot for you, thanks for trying and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Though all of the registration proceeds went to the GCSG, we were able, through the efforts of Lynn Nguyen and her helpers at the concession stand, and Lori Clark, and her helpers with the raffle, to make about a $500 profit! Special thanks to Theresa Babbington for making the cool baskets for our raffle, she did an outstanding job.
3. The beginnings of the Golf Tournament Fundraising Committee had an excellent meeting and we are off and running. We are putting together a plan to host a golf tournament sometime in the spring. We expect all teams to participate and share in the proceeds. More info to follow, but if you want to get involved now contact Carlos Flys at carlos@onewaygc.com . Carlos is the committee head and has already done an excellent job of getting us started.
4. Expect full team meetings later in the month where we will talk about the upcoming season. Also, we still need nominations for all board positions, as we will be voting during these team meetings. Please consider joining the board. We have nominations for all positions except Secretary, but you can still run for any position.
Thanks,
Greg Autrey
APSG President
We are hosting the Tramp and Tumbling State Meet on 4-22 at Aspire. Sign up sheets will be posted soon. There is a planning meeting at the gym April 2nd at 8:15p. It’s a great way to satisfy your volunteer hours and should be a lot of fun. See below for areas to help. PLEASE, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
Also, there are opportunities to help with the teams’ banquet Sunday, May 6th at 3:00-6:00p, at the Desert Oasis Aquatic Center. All athletes and families are invited. Mark your calendars now!!
Thanks to all who helped with the Sun Devil Classic. Through our efforts we raised about $2500. It was a lot of work but I think well worth it.
Our next Board meeting is April 5th at 5:30 in the coaches room.
The Aspire PSG wishes to thank our generous sponsors for their support of the Sun Devil Classic Meet.
