Uh this program has become a true point of pride for our community and we're grateful for the volunteers and supporters who make it possible. Over the past several years, the wrestling club has continued to grow steadily,
developing into one of our strongest youth programs. The wrestlers range in age from six to 13 and include participants from both Titanfalls and Eaten Town. The club provides
opportunities for every level of experience from beginners to advanced competitions through the Jersey Shore Junior League. Although the program operates independently, it benefits greatly from the support of the
Titanfalls Recreation Department. So, big shout out to Sherry and Mary who are here with us this evening. um as as a collaboration with Mammoth Regional
Wrestling Program and athletic department. Together, these partnerships help create positive well well-rounded environment where young athletes can learn, improve, and thrive. On behalf of
the council and myself, we are honored to acknowledge this team tonight and to celebrate their continued accomplishments and growth. Um, I'm actually going to present coach
Marcia with his certificate and then uh between him and Ryan, they will hand off the other coaches certificates. Congratulations. Yeah. So, um, about our coaches, right? Uh, Rhysa, when I sent her the list, she

U looking forward to working with them to continue upgrading, enhancing our recreation and
sports facilities, improving the opportunities for the uh youth programs, and ensuring that our children have a safe, positive, and well-maintained environment to learn, grow, and compete. As we move forward, I want to ensure everybody on the board here and in the public that I'm committed to
