Ways to stay in touch and get involved
- This is the best way to get GLC information and to find out what is going on during the season and the year. This email newsletter platform lets the office send important information to anyone who signs up.
- Sign up to receive these emails. (Make sure both parents sign up, as only the one who registered the rower will get these emails by default.)
- Slack is the instant messaging platform that GLC parents use to communicate, chat about GLC and ask questions about the team. Request a parent Slack invite by emailing tootallted@gmail.com or asking another GLC parent to add you to the group.
- If you are already signed up, glcjuniorparents.slack.com is the link to bookmark in your browser. (You can also just head to the app.)
