tomorrow, other updates for fencing

The remnants of Michael are supposed to move through the area tomorrow starting around 4 pm tomorrow.  New Hanover schools are already closed.  They are talking gusts into the 50s with possible power outages, more trees uprooted and possible flooding.  Let’s go ahead and cancel afterschool, beginner class, and open fencing for tomorrow.

No problem with classes for today and open fencing tonight.

Pender County schools remain closed, so no fencing Friday.  I will send out a note to the Pender people in a few minutes.

Everything is supposed to move through quickly so I am assuming we will be good for Camp Lejeune Friday night.  I’ll send out a note to you in a few minutes as well.

I am also still planning to have the youth event on Saturday.

If any of these plans change I will contact everyone affected.

On a happier note, Erica Julien fenced yesterday at the World Veteran Championships in Livorno, Italy.  She went 3-3 in her pool, pulled a mild upset in her first DE, but then lost to the eventual silver medalist in the round of 16.  She finished 14th out of 28.  The other Americans finished 10th, 13th, and 23rd.  Considering she has had very little practice in the last month and everything else she has going on, that was terrific.
