Great news from Mike Santangeli, Athletic Director at Joel Barlow:


"The [Region 9 School] board unanimously approved to have Barry Blades start the process
of obtaining the necessary permits for the Field A improvements.  I want to thank 
Peter Wasmer for speaking last night on our behalf and to the rest of you for being so 
supportive throughout this process.  
We still have a long way to go but we are at least moving forward."




We will keep you updated on the progress here
on the RELAX website.
  
Stay tuned.
