Social Gathering and Monthly Payment

Greetings all! I hope everyone has had and exciting week. Just as a reminder, please make sure you get your monthly payments in soon. Quite a few people seem to be missing payment this month.

On a side note, GSX is having a social gathering next Friday. Other affiliates will be present so let's get together to support CrossFit in our community. Here is a copy of what was posted under the comments section by GSX...

"The weather is nice again in Texas, and it's time to start firing up the grill at GSX. Join us Friday, April 17th, at 6PM. You bring the meat, we'll supply the heat. And a few other goodies."
