Our November meeting featured two incredible speakers. Joe Withee from Emerald Downs shared stories about the challenges and successes of the racetrack, offering an inspiring look at perseverance in the world of horse racing. We were also honored to hear from past TAC Athlete of the Year recipient Trinity Link, who is now continuing her swimming career at the University of Puget Sound and was recently named Northwest Conference Athlete of the Week. Her achievements showcase the outstanding talent of our local athletes. Don’t miss our upcoming Fall Athlete of the Year Event on December 10th at the McGavick Center or our next membership meeting on December 12th—we hope to see you there!
President's Corner
Thank you all for coming out to listen to our speaker in November Joe Withee and our returning student Trinity. They were both captivating and encouraging.
This next month plan on coming early to visit one another and please RSVP so we are assured of plenty to eat. We had 25 attending members and guests this last month, and sadly only 15 that were paying for lunches. We guaranty 25 to have the location and tasty food each month. I encourage all of you that can purchase a lunch.
I spoke with Joe Withee after the meeting and this summer we will be having a social out at Emerald Downs. A chance to just hang out and get to know one another.
That is it from my corner, and remember to give Trent a big welcome as membership chair as well as a hand.
