re: Lightning News Flash

The end is near - the end of the swim season that is!
A few items:

1. Last dual meet is tomorrow, Monday, evening at 6:00pm. Report time is 4:45pm.
Allow at least 45 minutes travel time, but add in extra time to get through the gate. Everyone 16 and older must have a valid picture ID (school ID will work). If you have a military ID or DOD stickers on your car that will "speed" you through. Even if you didn't submit the form, please come to the meet as usual, if there is a problem have my cell phone number handy - 540-455-9141 - and I'll get with their RSL Rep. Attached is a map with directions and below is some added information on the color coding and parking.

> Additionally, security has cracked down on our parking plan so I
>have attached a new map that provides a visual of the new plan.
>- The red lines are do not enter zones.
>- The yellow areas are for parking.
>- The yellow lines with arrows show the direction you may park.
>Please notice that Earle Road is a one way street from Jenkins Road to
>Dahlgren.
>- Jenkins Road has Child Care facilities on it that are open until
>6PM, so please drive slowly when you arrive and don't park in those areas. I
>recommend skipping Jenkins on the way in and just continue down Dahlgren
>road to avoid the facilities altogether.
> Check out the parking on Alger (just down the street from baseball
>field on right), skip Earl (the next road, because it's a one way from the
>other side), check out parking on the next road which is unnamed, then check
>Caffee and that parking lot. If those are full, by all means go ahead and
>use Jenkins to drop the kids off in front of the pool and to continue down
>Jenkins to find parking either on Earle or near the Credit Union (two
>locations) or in the Credit Union (last resort).

2. Volunteer for meets - Libby has gone through her lists and will be contacting those that have not fulfilled their family obligation of 6 halves. If you haven't done your share of jobs at meets, please contact Libby ASAP to sign up for tomorrow's meet. Remember, if you haven't helped at a meet - someone else probably did more than 6 halves to fill in. On Wednesday, Libby will be giving a list to Coach Jay of swimmers that are ineligible to participate in Finals, because the family has not done 6 jobs. Libby's email - leehillswims@yahoo.com.
  • We thank everyone who has come up to Libby and let her know they were there and willing to help if needed.
  • And everyone that said "YES" when Libby came to them - without counting the number of jobs they had already done!
  • You're willingness to pitch in has helped the swim meets to run smoothly.

3. Finals Jobs - Libby will be setting up the sign ups for the Finals volunteers in the next day or two. Please sign up by Friday, July 29th. On Sunday, July 31st, Libby will begin calling/emailing families that have a swimmer participating in Finals to sign up for a job. If your child will not be swimming in Finals let Coach Jay know (in writing or email) by Wednesday, July 27th.

4. On Thursday, July 28th we will have a swim-a-thon -
more details and a form will be sent out soon. We will need some parents to count laps for swimmers.

5. Practice -
continues until Finals for those swimmers participating in Finals.
No evening clinics.

6. Last Practice - Friday, August 5th, is our traditional Breakfast Potluck. Everyone brings a breakfast food to share to the practice they attend.

7. Awards Banquet - is Sunday, August 7th. More details will follow, but just to make sure it's on your calendar!!

Go Lightning!!
