														Hello from Pickle Point!
 We hope you're all doing great and ready for a month full of exciting programming at Pickle Point. Here’s a quick look at what’s happening this May. Be sure to check out our website for full details and registration. 
 BIG NEWS – LCARS Rating System Now Run by Pickle Point 
 As many of you know, we’ve been working closely with other clubs in the area to develop a consistent and meaningful club/org rating system that supports quality level-based play. We’re excited to share that starting this season, the system will officially be run out of Pickle Point and will now be known as the Lethbridge, Coaldale and Area Rating System (LCARS).
 Our certified Pickle Point coaches will be leading all official assessments. Assessment dates are already listed on our calendar. Visit this link for complete information about the LCARS rating process, including assessment criteria:
