If you want to get some fresh air while climbing, check out the Governor Dick bouldering comp in Mt. Gretna, PA on November 18, 2017. It's an annual fundraiser for the Governor Dick Park and is always a great time. It is NOT a USAC local competition event.

They are NOT accepting walk-ins, online registration ends November 5 and will be capped at 375 participants this year so make sure you sign up in advance:

Team PRG Snack Table a Success!

Thank you to Kim and Will Beckey (parents of Addison and Cameron) for organizing a Team PRG snack table at this year's Midnight Burn comp at Oaks on October 28, 2017. Instead of hosting a bake sale fundraiser, the Beckeys suggested parents donate snack goods for a free team table where climbers and parents could pick up some grub, mingle, and meet each other. It was a huge success and we hope to have a similar team snack table at future comps.

Team PRG: Get to Know...

Team PRG community,

I'd like to try something new this year: a "Get to Know [a Team PRG climber]" feature for team members new and seasoned alike. If you think your climber would like to participate, please let me know. I will email interested participants a short conversational questionnaire about who they are, why they climb, and random questions to keep it fun. If they are willing to share a photo of them climbing or doing something else they love, that'd be great. I will post a new Get to Know feature on the Team PRG Facebook page, on the Team PRG website, and via email once a week, every other week, or once a month depending on how many interested climbers there are. 

Thanks so much, Vikki

Email me at sloviter@gmail.com if your climber would like to participate.

Team PRG Welcome


Hi!

Welcome to the 2017-18 Team PRG season. I am working off of an old email list so if you are no longer with Team PRG, do not want to receive these emails, or know a new Team PRG family who may not be on this list please let me know.

The primary means of team communication is the Team PRG Group on Facebook (not to be confused with the Team PRG Page), so if you are on Facebook, please join the Group and check it regularly for information. This email list is for folks who are not on Facebook and we will try to email this group when we post to the Facebook Group. 

David Harmanos (dad to Team PRG member Olivia and USA Climbing Regional Coordinator), created a Team PRG website several years ago. We are updating it and have posted calendar dates of upcoming USAC and non-USAC comps, as well as some recent results of USAC local bouldering comps. There is a wealth of other information about climbing and Team PRG on the site and we are continuing to update it, so please check it out: http://www.teamprg.org.


NEWS:

For this Saturday's Midnight Burn, since there will be food trucks for people to buy food, trying to host a bake sale will not bring in much $ for the amount of time needed to man the table. So Kim and  Will Beckey will have a table and coolers in the back of the gym just for TEAMPRG kids and parents where they can come to get snacks and drinks. If parents who are coming to the MB would like to donate something for all the TEAM PRG kids that would be great. Some things that might be popular are coffee, sports drinks, bottles of water, fruit, chips, soft pretzels and candy. The Beckeys will provide a few coolers with ice so drinks can be kept cold. 

This communal snack table is a place for kids and parents from the different PRG gyms to meet and socialize. And, the kids can have something to eat during the comp without bugging their parents for money. If you haven't already responded to this post on Facebook, please reply to this email so we know who you are able to donate to the table.

See you at the gym!

Vikki Sloviter (mom to Noah and Benn Wheeler)
Kim and Will Beckey (parents to Addison and Cameron Beckey)
