So be sure and get registered with Dennis and let either he or I know you shirt size and color preference (heather grey or forest green). I'm trying to make sure we all have shirts available for a photo Saturday.

Possibly infringing on some copyright somewhere, but I'm heading to the parks next month and could not resist some adding a little Tai Chi to my Happiest Place on Earth wardrobe.
(So yes I will be a walking advert for PTCC. Thinking about busting out the hand form on Tom Sawyers Island 😁)
