    • Brendon Friesen, Secretary
  • Trish is joining the officer ranks and is going to be helping us as we work to enhance our water polo programming for current members and to establish youth programming.
  • Wade gave a financial update. Members can email Wade if you would like financials. We are doing a good job collecting dues and we have funds to maintain quality equipment, invest in tournament travel and youth programming.
