BOX LIFE: Thank you!
Seriously, thank you, thank you and thank you. While we are still navigating these turbulent pandemic waters, the continued support of our members is humbling.

As a token of our appreciation, we are providing complimentary (custom logo-ed, badass) multi-function face coverings (aka Buffs, or gaiters) to all members who maintained their membership with us from March through July. Please see Mel or Erica to pick yours up! (PS: Yes, Andy A., they’re a beautiful orange!)
