The first meet is upon us! The bus will be leaving Corona at 5:45am on Saturday. Please make sure you are there a few minutes early. If you miss the bus, you will not compete! The bus will be returning around 11-11:30am. Please be on time to pick up your athlete, as the coaches will have to wait until everyone is gone. It is a good idea to have your athlete text you when they are leaving Tumbleweed Park.

Parents, if you have received the t-shirts you ordered, but have not yet paid, please send payment with your athlete to the dinner tomorrow evening or pay at the meet on Saturday. There is usually a booster board member near the tents throughout the meet. You can pay with cash or a check made out to “Corona Cross Country Boosters Club”.

An email was sent last night with the address for the team dinner tomorrow evening. If you did not receive the message, please email Kristi at kristijohn@hotmail.com for the address.

We hope to see everyone out at Tumbleweed Park on Saturday! You can find race times by going to https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/meet/158826/info. Go AZTECS!

Still looking for a host family for September 13th. As a reminder, the boosters buy all the food, come to your house and cook/serve, then clean up after! We can have all the kids in a back yard, and can provide extra tables and chairs if needed. Please consider hosting a dinner and contact Vicki Montana at vbmontana@me.com.

Thank You!
A huge thank you to the Montana Family for hosting yet another fun pool party (on their anniversary nonetheless)!! We appreciate your generosity. It was a fun time – check out the pictures on our Shutterfly Share Site, https://coronadelsolcrosscountry.shutterfly.com/, password “aztecs”.

Parent Meeting Follow-Up
If you were unable to make the parent meeting last week, please download the attached parent handout and read through the information. We ask parents for a $20 donation per athlete to help cover snack/meal costs throughout the season. That is it for fundraising! The donation can be brought to practice this Friday, or to the pasta dinner next Friday.

We had a black ThermoFlask left on the table where we were selling t-shirts after the parent meeting. If it is yours, please contact Kristi at kristijohn@hotmail.com.

Sole Sports Discount Night!!
Sole Sports will be having a special discount night on Wednesday for Corona Cross Country. They will offer a 20% discount on all store items except Garmin watches, which will be 10% off. Stop by from 5pm to 8pm to get new training shoes, racing flats or clothing. Sole Sports has always been a big supporter of Corona Cross Country and we are fortunate to have such a great running store close by. Please show them your gratitude by giving them your business.

Team Pasta Dinners
We are still looking for two families to host a team dinner at their home (in their backyard). The boosters will buy all the food, cook the food and clean up before leaving. They will bring tables, chairs and anything else you might need. It is a fun time for the kids and the booster parents as well. If you are interested in hosting a dinner on September 14th or 21st, please contact Vicki Montana at vbmontana@me.com. We will have a sign-up soon for volunteers to help cook and serve.

Tax Credit Reminder
Please consider giving a tax credit donation to Corona Cross Country. This money is used to pay for 2 of our coaches. Please direct your money to the GIRLS team this year, even if you have a boy. We pay one coach out of each account (boys and girls) and the girls account is running low. For more information or to make an online payment, go to https://www.tempeunion.org/domain/72. Thank you!!
