On Nov 21st, the WV judges are getting together with our State Judging Director Nancy Parker to go over JO updates to prepare them for the up coming season. If you would like to attend, the cost is $20. If you would like to bring gymnasts, it is $10 for each athlete. It is a sanctioned event and we will do our best to help your kids.
Please contact Nancy if you would like to attend.

I know there hasn’t been an update sent out in a few days, but that has been because we have had no new information to disperse. Lynn spent the weekend at home. She had some uninterrupted sleep, got to eat on command, and watch some TV programs of choice on a large screen. Throughout the day on Sunday she started to feel worse and worse, and more and more tired. So sleeping and resting took up most of her day(s).
Monday morning, we called to find out what we should do and, a little before noon, we took her back in. In the slow manner to which we have become accustomed, we did not find out until today what course her treatment would take. Lynn had another paracentesis today, and they removed 1.2L today. After the procedure, she was able to eat a whole half of a sandwich!
We also received news that she should start chemo tomorrow – not the originally planned regimen, but one that we are still waiting on the details for.
Hopefully, there will not be a cause to postpone again.

Once again I am writing you to share an update on Lynn Perrott. Lynn (very) recently began experiencing abdominal discomfort and bloating, and was admitted to the hospital yesterday. The medical team found cancer cells in her peritoneal cavity, and are proposing an intensive in-hospital course of chemotherapy beginning as soon as possible. As you can imagine, this is a very stressful time for Lynn and her family.
Lynn is such a strong woman, as we have known for years, and as she displayed last year as she recovered from her surgery, infection and chemo. We will stay united and Region 7 Strong to support her through this new challenge. Please keep Lynn and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Lynn mentioned to me several times this year how comforting and supportive your thoughts were while she courageously rallied back from her surgery last fall and underwent subsequent chemotherapy. I have no doubt that she will feel lifted and supported from hearing from you. Feel free to send cards and thoughts her way. I will keep you updated as I know more.
Thank you all for your support and understanding during this time.
Best, Linda J.

There has been a USAG policy update stating that unaffiliated athletes may no longer compete in USA Gymnastics sanctioned events. All athletes participating in USA Gymnastics sanctioned events must be affiliated with a USA Gymnastics member club.
In case someone did not receive the USAG update, gyms are now required to become member clubs to be able to host or participate in a USAG sanctioned event.
As a reminder, the deadline to have state meet bids in is December 1 and level declaration is February 15. Please make sure you have these items submitted on time.
