High Water Swap Update
We had big hopes of having a mid year uniform swap, but with all of the upcoming events taking over the facilities, we just aren’t going to be able to make it happen this year. We apologize for not being able to make it work and will try for earlier in the year next year.
That being said, please know that we have a closet full of used items that you are welcome to come shop (or organize :)) anytime.
