Welcome back to the Western Region Program Report | Summer Conference A big thank you to everyone that came out to the Summer Conference this past Saturday! We had a great turnout despite the weather: 26 people attend a sport training 19 people attended the general orientation 42 people attend the Regional Update and Event Coordination Activity! Not only are conferences very educational and a great way to meet new people and network with other coaches, it is a great opportunity to attend any training/session/activity as part of the required certification process for new volunteers and certification update for current coaches. Mark your calendars now for the Fall Conference scheduled for July 10th, 2010. Location TBD Good luck to all Chautauqua Lakers bowlers as they participate in their annual local bowling competition! | |
