Dear Lee’s Hill Lightning families,
Next Saturday, on August 1,2015, we will be participating in the most important and fun day of the season! The American Division Finals at the King George YMCA. This is the grand finale of our season! It will be an exciting day, as we have had some very close and exciting dual meets throughout the season! I look forward to spending the day with all of you as we cheer on our swimmers!
We want to remind everyone that this coming Friday, July 31, 2015 we will be having a pot luck breakfast for our swimmers after they practice. We will be asking you to bring something to share with the team. It’s a nice way to finish off our practice season.
The day after finals, on Sunday, August 2, 2015 we will be having our Awards Banquet and Annual Meeting at the SOUTH pool. This is a party at the pool for the team. We have decided to go to the south side for more indoor space if needed. This, too, is a pot luck event. Please look for more emails regarding what your family should bring based on the first letter of your last name. We want to have as many families attend as possible so you can all celebrate the season with us.
Attending the Annual Meeting is very important too! This is your opportunity to hear about the general business of the team and how we stand, as well as to participate in nominations and elections for next year’s board of directors. We have 5 positions on the board that will be vacated this year due to 3 year term limits per our bylaws. Start thinking about who you would like to have in the following positions: Chairperson, Meet Director, Spirit, Social and At-Large position. We would like for you to start talking to other swim parents on the team and think of individuals who can keep our team moving in positive directions!! In prior years, the Spirit and Social Director were one position, then the board allowed two people to share the position and split the title. It could easily go back to one position if desired by the team. Below are the positions and job descriptions for you to ponder. We would like you to send us any nominations by Friday, July 31. However, nominations will also be accepted at the business meeting.
