PARENT SOCIAL A BIG SUCCESS:

 

Last Friday night, the Elite Swim Club Parents Organization (ESCPO) hosted a fabulous social gathering at the Chatham Fish & Game Club.

 

            Over 75 parents and coaches attended the affair which featured great food and beer and wine supplied by ESCPO. The event allowed Elite parents to acquaint and reacquaint themselves with other Elite parents in a non-chlorinated environment. By all accounts, people had a great time.

 

Thanks ESCPO for your efforts!!!
