Attention: Level 9, Eastern Participants,
Parents and Coaches
I
was jut notified that Expedia, Hotels.com, etc. has been
booking rooms into the Holiday Inn for Easterns in
Tupelo and the hotel has been sold out for weeks. The
management is in contact with the agencies to remove the
hotel from these agencies sights. However, just at the
Holiday Inn, about fifty people think they have rooms
and don't. They are checking other hotels to see if it
is happening to them. Please distribute to your
membership that if they have a room at any hotel and it
was not booked directly with the hotel, they need to
call for confirmation.

I'm not sure if you've heard about this, but
a little girl from Edwardsville,
Illinois was killed Friday when she was playing in a culvert
and it collapsed
on her. Her name was Macie Crow and she was 7 years old and
a level 4 gymnast
at the Edwardsville YMCA. I had the priviledge of working
with Macie last
summer when I was helping coach at the Y. She was one of
those kids that could
light up a room with her smile. This is a tragic event here
in southern
Illinois and I believe it is something the entire Illinois
gymnastics community
should know about. Below is a link to the Belleville
News-Democrat article
announcing services.
