This past weekend (March 9-10), we hosted the River Campus Classic 2019. While the weather Saturday was definitely challenging, Sunday was a complete turnaround. A special thanks to the family volunteers who braved the rain, wind, and mud to make this a success. Also, thanks to Metta Devine-Qin who kept the information flowing throughout.
