Well my Father IN Law has been in the hospital since the 23rd. Had a drug reaction to new meds now they are trying to stablize his blood pressure but DR's say he will be fine in a few days. Definitly not coming home today with 15 - 22 inches of snow that fell last night and is still falling.
Anyway the nurse he has is a mom at our old gym. She was also a friend and when her kids were little they came to my childcare/preschool. Well she says she is very unhappy with the gym this year. They came the summer of 09 from one of the other local gyms. Her DD is a 13 yo L7 like my DD is. This season they got new leos and warmup suit cost just over $600!!! and the Tuition was doubled this year from about $400 a month to over $800 a month!! She also said there is a click of the "favorites" and her DD doesn't seem to be included or made to feel part of the team by the other girls. They aren't mean to her and they do talk to her but don't really include her in stuff. She asked how we liked the new gym and Hubby went on and on about how much better it was the coaching was so much more positive and as she saw at the last meet DD improved dramaticly over the last 5 mo and has been uptraining. They are cheaper than old gym, have a booster club that is very active and raises lots of money to help defray the costs of meets etc. They are very understanding about missing practice for school work and events we have to go to etc.
We suggested she call them and check them out. She lives near us so we know it's a do-able drive. I hope she leaves and comes our way. Her DD actually has alot of talent and would do well at the gym we are currently at.

As for the $800 per month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we pay club membership at the beginning of every year (not sure what it costs) then pay $7 per hour so for our squad its $350 for 11 hours and this year we were paying $280 for 10 i think (it might be $6 per hour). Sounds like the time too move given the situation with the teammates i hope everything goes well with the move if she decides to make it.
