MOEs will head to Altitude Trampoline Park on University Dr in Huntsville, Sunday, July 17th from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. Cost will be $20 (plus socks if you don't have them already) and is technically good for 3 hours with their Sunday special. If parents want to stay for the extra hour, you are welcome to. I'll be there from 2-4. Let Deacon Sara know if you plan to be there so she can watch out for everyone. If we can be there by 1:45, we can pay as a group. Please fill out a waiver (at the link below) ahead of time or come fill one out early at the location.
