re: Lightning News Flash

Job Sign Ups:
If you haven't signed up for all 6 jobs, please go to mysignup.com to do so. If you have any questions on jobs email Cathy - olearychamberlain@gmail.com.

We have just 60 families this year, if everyone does there 6 halves we have just enough volunteers. The trick is some of these jobs require training, and we have a limited number of people trained. I ask that all parents check in with our Meet Director - Cathy Chamberlain - when they arrive at the meet to see if she needs volunteers. Sometimes, she may need someone to fill in just until the person signed up can get there.

Our first Home meet is this week. A home meet means more work (and workers - 71) for our team. So all hands on deck!

Now for the details:
Set up people should get to the pool at 4:00pm.
Swimmers should be there at 4:30pm, our warm-ups are at 5:00pm.
Meet starts at 6:00pm.
We sit on the clubhouse side of the pool.

News from the RSL:
Ads are now being taken for the RSL Finals Heat Sheet. This is an opportunity to promote your business, or congratulate/recognize your swimmer. Anyone and everyone can take an ad. The Heat Sheet is basically the program for the Finals, it lists every swimmer in every event. If you know anyone with a business, please ask them to take an ad. Each team is obligated to purchase $200 in ads, once we reach that we make a percentage. The same ads are used in the heat sheets for all four divisions.
The ads sheet is attached and copies will be available in the box. Ads should be submitted on 8x10 paper exactly (size, shape) as you want it to appear. i.e. if you want a 1/2 page ad, it should be on a an 8x10 page with half the page blank. Please submit ads by July 12th.

News from the Board:
There will be at least five (5) Board positions vacated on August 5th. This means we need at least 5 new Board members to step forward. I have asked the current Board members to write up what their position entails (and what it should include). Former Board members, can you help by letting me know what was included in the position you held?

Remember:
Thursday practice is delayed start - 8:00 for oldest group; 8:45 for next; 9:15 for the youngest.

Go Lightning!!
