Saturday January 28th at 2pm: This will be our first competition class. If you think you have what it takes to make it to Regionals then come to this class.  Food for thought.

Sunday January 29th at 2pm: Our next Paleo Potluck!  There were some great dishes last time and we are looking forward to another delicious afternoon.  Thanks again to Jaime O for the awesome idea.

Saturday February 4th:  There are two events going on the 4th.  1)  9am we are meeting at One Monarch Place in downtown Springfield to have another stair climb practice.  We need a few volunteers to test out the challenge.  It’s around 10 minutes to complete.  Please let us know if you can make it.  2)  Kerin and Kent are taking part in the Festivus 3!  It’ll be (HERE) and it’ll be an all day event.  If you don’t have plans you should definitely go support them!  I’ll be there after the stair climb practice.
