Time for family picture updates. I know we did this in the Spring but guess what? Your kids grow (especially when you feed them)! And of course we get new families. While you can use the Spring picture again, if you want to run with the cool kids parents, use a new one. A brief description about your kid(s) is also encouraged.

This is a great reference at regattas when meeting someone for the first time (Who’s your kid again?)

Email your pictures and bios to mike@wardfam.org
