Hi Coaches,

Okay, panic and pandemonium are about to set in.  I have several problems!  First the volunteers this year are few and far between.  I had some sign up....and I did assignments and now they have had to back out for one reason or another.  Also the group that normally spots for me is unable to help this year and I have tried for two weeks to find an organization to help out.....but to no avail!!!!
 
So.......I NEED HELP!  So here is what we are going to do.  If you volunteer at the 2010 regional championships, your name will go in a drawing to win your National entry fee this year.  I will draw for 5 prizes.  All of them 100% of your national entry fee paid.  They must volunteer for an entire session in order to be eligible for the drawing.  They also will get a wristband to get them into the competition ALL weekend for FREE.
 
So let's get out there and get some volunteers.  If I don't get volunteers then we will have to resort to assigning clubs assignments.
 
If you could send me names and their email addresses NO later than this Sunday so that I can do a volunteer schedule before I leave for Fort Worth that would be awesome.
 
Thanks in advance for your help
Patti

To Region 3:

First of all we would like to say THANK YOU to all who prayed for us and continue to do so.  We would also like to say THANK YOU to anyone who has donated financially to us!  We have experienced GOD's LOVE in so many ways since this terrible accident on November 28th,2009. One of the most incredible ways we have experienced GOD's LOVE is through the people that HE put in our corner.  God has done AMAZING things for us since the accident. Chelsea who was said to probably never be the same by the doctors in Odessa, is ALREADY well enough to return to work part time today (3-24-2010)  Her progress has been MIRACULOUS!  She was in a coma for a week and the right side of her body was paralyised for about 3 weeks to a month.  This morning she went and worked out and did 2 miles on the EFX machine.  She has been to every meet with me this year, she is cooking, she has done zumba, she has been HEALED by our AWESOME GOD!!  I have been through 4 surgeries now on my left arm, although I did start therapy yesterday.  I believe I am about to pay for all the frog jumps I have given my athletes. :)  It is CRAZY how weak your body can get if it is not used. My arm is very stiff and very weak right now.  I believe though by the time Regionals rolls around I will be back in the weight room!! 

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL OF YOU!  YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS HAVE HELPED TURN THIS AWFUL SITUATION INTO A GLORIOUS ONE!  ALL THE PRAISE GOES TO OUR KING, JESUS CHRIST!  Without HIM I truly believe we would not be where we are today!!

If you are on facebook you can add me and there is an AWESOME slide show that shows pictures of the accident, injuries, and recovery!  It is very moving!  Just add me as a friend if you want to see it.

Much Success to all, as you prepare for state and regionals!  We look forward to seeing you all!!  Take Care and God Bless!!
