Good afternoon Torpedo! It's time to mark up those summer months with all of the fantastic meets that the Valdese Torpedo Family will be enjoying together. Please put the dates down and figure out what you want to do to volunteer at the meets. The more people that assist with the jobs, the easier it is on everyone, and that makes meets more enjoyable! We are especially in need of Stroke and Turn officials, so if you have done this or are interested in doing it, please plan to come to one of the meetings on either June 6 or July 11!
The Championship Meet is on July 25 at Forest City! Please check for conflicts now! Our girls won, and we were SO close to winning overall last year, and we can do it this season with EVERYONE'S HELP!
So, first and foremost, some housekeeping dates!
