There will be a number of volunteers available to accept your registration package on September 13th ensuring timely processing.  Also, you will have an opportunity to meet the coaches and board members, and buy club swim suits and other merchandise. Treats and drinks will also be available (profits will support both the Titans Club and the Run/Walk for the Cure for Breast Cancer), so bring your loonies and twoonies.
