Triathlon Information by Ron & Pat Donkers.

My Team Triumph came as first time participants in the Optimist Triathlon to share their purpose and passion.  Team Triumph is an athletic ride-along program created for children, teens, adults and veterans with disabilities who would normally not be able to experience endurance events such as triathlons or road races.  They are looking forward to the event this year and they appreciate our support and all the support they are receiving from the community!

Reminders:

  • Invite a Guest.
  • Clean up tables.

Next Week’s Program:  KCH Health Update/Jay de los Reyes.

Have a very Optimist Week!
