WELCOME to USA Powerlifting Anime Open!

Hello Cathy,

We hope this email finds you well! We are just four weeks out from the first ever Anime Open! We are so excited for this day and can't wait to see all your hard work pay off on the platform!

What makes this event even more special is that it is a themed event meaning many of the volunteer staff will be dressed in Anime costume. For your family and friends that are Anime enthusiests we have a separate costume contest as well. Best Lifters, both male and female, and Best Costume winner will win tickets to MomoCon in Atlanta. (for more details see our website, any questions contact Siraj)

We have created a dedicated meet website at www.melepowerlifting.com where you can find Athlete Information details including schedule, rules, roster, rookie tips, faq's and more. See the Event Information page for spectator information including entry times, event tickets, and parking.

Thank you for choosing USA Powerlifting Georgia to showcase your hard work! If you can't tell already, we are very excited for this event and hope you are too!

Again, our website is meant to give you all the meet information you need. However, we are here to help! - please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Best Regards,

Cathy and Siraj
