We still need folks to help with setup and takedown for Lapapalooza. It's the easiest social job you can have all season! Pop up a couple of tents, set up a few tables, and open some chairs. Done! Put them away at the end of the event and check off one volunteer job from your requirements! This is way easier than meet set up and takedown! If you are capable of helping out, sign up on the website as you would for a meet! Thanks!!

Dear Stingray Families, Our swim team family recently suffered a heartbreaking loss with the passing of Lisa Herrera after her courageous battle with cancer.
