Thanks for your tireless work in this portfolio, that is often so difficult to fill. Don't forget that you can form a Youth Committee, if you find you need help.

Thank you Christina for all your hard work and effort on these tournaments -- and in regard to the team matches, not an easy task to coordinate the Canadian team AND also coordinate with the coordinator on the other teams! Well Done!
