Meadow Gold Keiki Triathlon Mahalo

On behalf of Team Core Board of Directors,

I would like to send a huge MAHALO to everyone who helped out at yesterday's Meadow Gold Keiki Triathlon at Ala Moana Beach Park. Everything went off perfectly with lots of smiling, happy children walking around with their medals after the race. Your professionalism, patience and composure with the adults and children were greatly appreciated. I had several comments from parents who mentioned how smoothly the event was run and I attribute this to our many volunteers.

Thank you for giving back to the triathlon community, the children, and answering the call when I needed to find volunteers. Catch up on your sleep and enjoy your Sunday.

Mahalo,
Gay

P.S. If you have any comments or suggestions for next year, please let me know and I can forward them to Gary.
