Newsletter 7/31/06

The entry forms are ready for the Nov 4th meet. I only have to decide whether I will be selling tee-shirts or not. Should have forms ready for distribution sometime this week.

Also, I have set up a site; www.marylandpowerlifting.blogspot.com and http://mdpowerlifting.proboards82.com/ which is a message board. You can link the message board from the blog site. The blog site is where I will post each weeks news letters and make daily entries of items that may be of interest to Maryland lifters. Please take a minute and log onto the message board and register. I will be doing more work over the next week to that site. I hope to keep the site and board mainstream and informative. Though please accept my apologies in advance if I tend to be more partial to raw lifting.
