Memorial Record Day (Lebanon, PA)

Once again our president, Denny Habecker, has sanctioned the Memorial Record Day.  This meet honors our former USAWA members who have passed over the years.  As ET wrote last year: Some that immediately come to mind are our friends Art Montini, Mike Murdock, Dean Ross, and John McKean.  I know there are many others, and too many to list for our purposes here.  At any rate, it is a great way for us to honor those who have come before us in the organization.  Here are the meet details:

Date: December 14, 2024

Location:   Habecker’s Gym, Lebanon, PA

Please contact Denny if you plan on attending to remember these great people and set or break some USAWA records. You can email him at liftingliar@comcast.net
