<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This year we had a record of 77 volunteers help with <a href="https://www.discnw.org/events/SpringReign/">Spring Reign</a>! This was a
huge help to DiscNW staff and the Spring Reign tournament directors. We feel so
lucky to have such a vibrant Ultimate community in the Northwest and have so
many people willing to spend their time helping and supporting that community!
Thank you volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without you!!</p>
