SAVE OUR BUS FUND!• Pura Vida Bracelets • Cotton Candy • Stickers •
• Marlins Makers Market •
The wheels on the bus go round and round. Well, actually in the Marlins bus situation they have not gone round since last June, when
it had a fit and stuttered in the middle of a trip to the Black Hills.
It’s going to take a lot of LUV to get it back up and running for the upcoming long course season and it’s many adventures.
As we wrap up the short course season and think ahead to long course, repairing the bus has become a priority. The team takes it to
multiple regional meets as well as the senior training trip.
A campaign to raise funds will begin during the Marlin’s Valentine’s Meet this weekend.
If you have any craft items that you would like to donate, please contact JoDee. we will need the items by 11:00 that morning. Also, please consider stopping by to do some shopping. There will be
LOTS of goodies for the kiddos and the parents.
