RACC Newsletter June 30, 2023
Included in this newsletter:
Updated Handbook Region 2 (download the handbook); Note items in the handbook that are highlighted will be official once the National Minutes become official.
- Minutes updated Region 2 April Meeting
- Minutes May Meeting
- Calendar to date (below)
- *When approved, the June minutes will also be sent.
As I end my term as RACC, I want to thank all those who worked to help serve our region during my term. Reflecting over the last eight years, I look back at how much we have accomplished from when I assumed the position. In 2014, we were $6,000 in the red and I am leaving the position with a current balance of $91,000 in the black. A major issue was the lack of athlete apparel for Western and National competitions. Now, we are a leader and other regions look at us as an example in providing for our athletes. Our Level 9 athletes have a full outfit, including slides. The Level 10 athletes have 3 full outfits, including shoes and a suitcase. We expanded camps to include an Inland camp and a hotshot camp. We also wrote a regional handbook, added Level 7 to the Regional meet, hosted Westerns as a fundraiser, allowed for judges substitutions at regionals for Level 7, survived Covid, started multiple fundraisers, added an Xcel Regional meet, developed a website, started a Hall of Fame, encouraged bids from all states for Regionals, and started a monthly newsletter to keep everyone informed. Thank you to all those who helped the region move forward with all these improvements. I will still be here supporting the region and hope to see you all in the future.
Gymnastically yours,
Marian DeWane,
RACC Region 2

There will be multiple updates once the May meeting minutes are all published. I was going to include them here, but they have not finished the approval process. BE SURE to READ THEM when they come out– there are many changes that will affect your programs. There will be one additional set of minutes coming as I had my last meeting Wednesday, June 28th. Once the minutes are approved, they will be sent out.
