1. 24 State Champions, 86 Medals, and 35 National Qualifiers!! – The kids got focused and did a good job this weekend.  Trampoline had a few rough spots, but that was to be expected since many athletes moved up levels this spring- most  still managed to post their highest score of the season. Overall we did a good job the kids seem to feel good about their experiences as a whole.  We were impressed that after the tough week they pulled it together and worked hard to improve for the meet!

2. Cirque Du Soleil Tickets - We will need to know today, Friday if you would like to attend the Cirque performance on Thursday June 3rd at 7PM.  We currently have 8 families interested and will only reserve tickets for those who have responded.  If you can’t g, but would like to send your athlete. we are happy to carpool and find rides to this magnificent performance.  Need more info on the show itself? Follow this link: http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/alegria/show/about.aspx

3. AP Website & Links - Team Family Dad Ron Garcia of Smackwagon Design has been working tirelessly on our new website and upgrading our electronic technology through Face book, Twitter, and YouTube! Please go check it out and provide comments, answer polls, and become part of our online fan based community.  Tell your friends to join!  You can look at our You Tube Page at http://www.youtube.com/user/AmPowerGym .

Soon we will get our video of the week contest started and you can help your athlete win snacks and prizes if their video is chosen as the top one! PLEASE NOTIFY US IMMEDIATELY IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR CHILD ON THESE SITES. We will use first names only and your privacy and child’s safety is of our utmost priority.  It is a fun way to get folks involved and share progress with friends and family out of the area!

4. National Championships Update - Many athletes qualified for the National Championships in Virginia Beach on at least one event.  You can attend Nationals and compete even if you did not qualify on all three.  You also have another chance to add events or qualify at the Regional Championships being held in Livermore May 22 & 23. If you are thinking of going please sign up at the front desk- We would like to request a $100 deposit by next Friday so that we can secure the coaches airfare while the prices have been temporarily reduced.  Tickets have gone down $200 since we made the budget and because it is close to the 4th of July the prices are expected to shoot up again next week!

5. Luau Date & Help needed – Don’t forget the team end of the year party annual Luau on Sunday June 6th! There will be great food, fun games, an award ceremony and the season end MANDATORY Team family meeting.  We will hold it in Penryn  at our new property which has a pond for fishing, blackberries for picking, open space for games, and many trees for shade! The place was not maintained for many years and now that we have a few weekends off have begun the landscape preparations! If you would be willing to bring a weed eater and lend a hand we will hold a clean up day on May 15th  – Most everything will need to clipped trimmed or burned.

6. Woodward Camp Sign Ups Now - The Region 2 Camp that our team will attend Labor Day weekend at Woodward West down South is now taking registration. Please sign up at the front desk. WE MUST hold our spaces with the entry form completed and turned in to the organizing staff when at Regionals. This is a really great camp for a great price for training by National Staff, Lodging, and meals.  We carpool down so your child can go without you.  http://www.californiatnt.com/region2benefitcamp.htm

7. Kidsfest - We will have and interactive booth at the Kidsfest. Anyone willing to help would be greatly appreciated. More Info: http://kidsfestnorcal.com/

9. Summer classes. camps, etc.. – We are going to offer many fun summer camps that will include a T&T camp and tumbling only camps.  Additionally many girls on team have wanted to try artistic gymnastics. Coach George is excited to offer a gymnastics class for them on Thursday for an hour and a half from 3- 4:30 this summer. Our team workout times will not change. However, if your child is moving up levels thus needing a training group change please do so before June 20th so we can make plans for next season.  Check with Stephanie or Amy about our fun summer camps that are filling quickly!

10. APTTA – Used Book Sale APTTA Used Book Sale- Thank you to the Neves and Hill Families for donating books for our Book Sale! We are in need of more donated books please.  We have sold 4 in one week and the parents using the “Parent Room” are all looking at the books and wanting to buy them but there isn’t much choice there yet. So if you could all look around at home for any books that need a “new home” please bring them in and put them in the Rubbermaid Donation Box next week and I will sort them and put them out for sale to the general public. Thanks very much from Lisa Hill .

11. APTTA Luau - Since there have been no objections on reallocating the funds for our team, we will be using the money raised this year to provide the meals for the luau. Please check your folders for information coming soon!

4. Regionals DEADLINE! Livermore May 21-23 – We STRONGLY encourage all AP team athletes to compete at Regionals. it is in Livermore and with many not attending Nationals this should be a very large meet with athletes from as far a way as Hawaii. The deadline is fast approaching and we need to bill you the fees so we can send in an entry ASAP! notify Amy immediately if you plan to attend.

5. Head count for Nationals interest – We are currently trying to asses how many coaches we will need at Nationals. This will determine the pricing for coaches fees for Nationals. IF we do not hear from you by April 15th that you are considering attendance if your child qualifies, we will assume you are not and proceed accordingly. Please notify Amy on this as well.

6. Open Gym Tomorrow night - Tomorrow is the second Saturday. Bring a friend and spread the word!

7. Tax deduction for classes – Check with your accountant when doing your taxes to confirm that a portion of your tuition at AP is a tax deductible child care expense. Amy can give you our tax ID number if you will take the deduction.

8. National Team here this week – The USA National team will be training at our facility Thursday- Saturday of this coming week. Athletes may come watch from the parent room. but may not distract or interrupt the work out. It is a testament to the amazing quality of our facility that USA Gymnastics continues to select AP as a training and testing site for the top athletes in our sport!

9. APTTA Scrip Scrip order change! – We will now be placing Scip orders on the19th of the month. Remember, Scrip is a great way for the team to earn money while you buy things you would normally buy. There are popular clothing retailers, grocery stores, Starbucks, Baskin Robbins, even WalMart!

Please turn your order in to the front desk by the 19th.
