Greetings Everyone;
★
I would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome David Auger to
the Region 6 Administrative Committee. Dave was elected to the ‘new’
position of Regional Xcel Committee Chairman. The rapid growth of this
program, throughout the country, generated a need for an Xcel
Committee within the Women’s Program structure. The National Xcel
Committee had their first meeting in June and the end result is a
standardized set of rules for the Xcel Program. The National Xcel Rules
are available on line. http://usagym.org/pages/women/pages/xcel.html
★
I would also like to congratulate Pat Panichas [Regional Technical
Committee Chairman] and Larry Goldsmith [Regional Junior Olympic
Committee Chairman] on their recent re-election. Both Pat and Larry
have been very busy with the development / presentation of the ‘new’
Compulsory Routines and J.O. Code of Points.
The 2013 P & G Gymnastics Championships and USA Gymnastics
National Congress will be held in Hartford, CT – August 14 – 18. Don’t
miss this opportunity to celebrate USA Gymnastics 50th Anniversary.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Hartford, CT.
CONGRATULATIONS
