Hi everyone!
We still have slots to fill for finals. Thank you to all of you who have already stepped up! We have to have all of these jobs filled by tomorrow so please save me the trouble of calling you and sign up today. We especially need parents of kids 11 and up to sign up because we have twice as many afternoon slots.
Thanks,
Carey
Just to let everyone know - hotmail has decided to limit how many emails I can send in a day (without paying to upgrade), so I maybe switching to my comcast account.
I have posted a brief description of the Board positions we need to fill on the website. If you are interested in being on the Board let me know.

re: Swim Team Board Positions
This information has been posted to the website and the Blog, however Hotmail decided today to limit the number of emails I can send per day. I am unable to send it to the entire swim team email list. I ask you to spread the word to others that might be interested in serving on the Board.
We are looking for volunteers to fill 4 positions on the Swim Team Board. Yes, I added a position. Michele Freemyers will be stepping down as the Membership person. Several people have asked for a brief description of the jobs for each position. Since when 1 asks, more people tend to be thinking the same thing I thought I would send this out to everyone.
Membership - this person receives all the registration forms and inputs the data into Team Manager (the software program we use) on the Team computer. They retain the paper forms in a binder. They work with the Treasurer to check that each family has paid. In addition they make sure the RSL Rep and Meet Director have updated rosters.
Fundraiser/Spirit Items - this person contacts previous sponsors for renewal and looks for new sponsors or opportunities for fundraisers. For the Spirit items its a matter of ordering more as needed and selling what we have (getting help is not out of the question!). At the end of the season, having plaques made as a "Thank you" to each sponsor.
Secretary - takes notes at the Board meeting, sets up the family folders in the box, updates forms and the handbook.
Meet Director - coordinates the parent volunteers, checks them in at each meet, and ensures that each family works the 6 half meets. Carey is setting up the online templates for job sign ups.
The Board meets January - September, once a month on the last Sunday of the month. We alternate between the two clubhouses.
The Board works together for the benefit of the swimmers, so no description is complete and jobs get blurred as we all help get it done. If I have missed anything, please let me know.
If you are interested in being on the Board we would love to have you!

re: Lightning News Flash
Greetings everyone,
Now that we have finished the 2010 Dual meet season, the Board has begun looking ahead to next season. We have 3 Board members stepping down and we are looking for new parents to step up. Hope Wood, Carey Pohanka and Stacey Ostlund have served the team well for several years.
The positions we are looking to fill are: Secretary, Meet Director and Fundraiser/Spirit items Coordinator. You don't need to have any special skills, we offer OJT!! If you are interested or have questions, please contact any Board member. The elections will be held at the Annual meeting during the awards banquet. We need your help to have next season run smoothly. Remember we do this for our kids, but we have fun too! Join the Board to get a true sense of what goes into making the swim team the organization and family that it is.
Thank you in advance for stepping up.
Go Lightning!!

re: Lightning News Flash
Greetings everyone,
This is a combination meet wrap up and weekly news, since our next meet is MONDAY! This is our last dual meet before Finals.
We beat Fox Point 293 - 210!! Great job to all our swimmers.
Sparks of the Week -
Four Triple Winners -
Meet Monday is at Lake of the Woods. This is at Sweetbriar Park within Lake of the Woods (not the main "Country Club" pool that you pass first). Lake of the Woods is a gated Community, just tell them you are going to the swim meet. Swimmers should be there by 4:45pm. For those new to the area, as you head West on Rt 3, you will feel like you are going forever (it's a lot of Battlefields, pastures, trees). You cross Rt 20 (7-11 and Sheetz), you are getting close. If you are not going to be at this meet, let Coach Jay know as soon as possible! (link below)
Tuesday practice will go on the typical Thursday delayed time - older kids start at 8:00am.
Early morning Adult Swim has ended. Thanks, Jay, for providing us this opportunity!
If anyone has team pictures from 2007 and 2008, could you get a copy to me or Stacey Ostlund it would be greatly appreciated.

re: Lightning Weekly News Flash
Greetings everyone,
After all our activities last week, this will seem like a slow week.
Ice cream after Tuesday evening clinic.
Our last home meet is this Wednesday, July 21st. Remember swimmers need to arrive at the pool by 4:30. Parents helping with set up are needed at 4:00. As you arrive, please help with set up even if you are not signed up. And remember at the end of the meet - extra hands to carry things to the shed and clean up, mean everyone goes home quicker! Thanks in advance.
As usual, Thursday will be delayed practice with the older kids starting at 8:00.
Our final dual meet is Monday, July 26th at Lake of the Woods. I mention this now because it will come around quickly. For new families, this meet is held on Monday to give the Coaches time to plan the Finals events. They need to have this complete by Saturday July 31st, so lane assignments can be done and the Heat Sheets printed.
Finals are Saturday, August 7th at the King George YMCA (this is a mapquest link), but the address for your GPS is 10545 Kings Highway (also known as Rt 3), King George, 22485. You go a little further down Rt. 3 past where you turned for Eden Estates. You actually pass the Y and make a U-Turn to get to it.
Speaking of Finals - the job sign is ready online: http://www2.mysignup.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi?datafile=lhfinals If your child is NOT going to participate in Finals - Let Coach Jay know NOW! She can't make changes after July 30th.
Go Lightning!!

re: Car wash and Heat sheet ads
The car wash was a lot of fun! We had a good turn out of kids and parents and CARS TO WASH!! Check out our face book page to see photos (I'll work on putting them on the website - that's a new trick for me to learn) Oh yeah, we made $409!!
This is the ABSOLUTE last call for anyone that would like to put an ad in the Finals Heat sheet. I've attached the ad sheet with sizes and prices. Ads must be the size you want on 8x10 paper. Checks need to be made out to the RSL, Inc. You need to get them to Michael O'Donoghue by Monday evening.

re: Lightning News Update
Greetings everyone,
For the meet this evening against Eden Estates - we MUST show up for the meet (regardless of the weather), unless we get word that the meet is cancelled prior to 4:00pm (you should be leaving about then). The deck area is minimal at Eden Estates, so minimize what you bring as much as possible.

As we get closer to the end of the season, please remember, the SWIM TEAM is not just a team of swimmers, but a TEAM of FAMILIES that work together to give our children an opportunity to improve their swimming and compete in swim meets. As a SWIM TEAM FAMILY, it takes all of us to achieve a positive and rewarding season. Many have shown that TEAM spirit by filling in as needed at the meets. If you have not yet worked or signed up for enough jobs, Carey Pohanka will be contacting you, or you can contact her, capohanka@verizon.net. As I said at the beginning of the season, this is about OUR kids. As parents, the best way to show our kids we support them is to be part of the TEAM.

re: Lightning Weekly News Flash
Greetings everyone,
This is a busy week for the team.
1. Spirit Night at Chic-Fil-A - Tuesday from 4:00p - 8:00p, be sure to bring a "coupon" so the team will get 20%. There are 10 "coupons" on the page, so your family should use one and share with nine other families
2. Swim meet Wednesday at Eden Estates - This is in King George a mapquest link is on the website. Swimmers should arrive by 5:00pm and look for the student coaches to check in. Parents check in with Carey, if you aren't signed up to work, but are available let Carey know. (Remember Thursday practice is later)
3. Car Wash @ Foster's Grill -
The car wash runs from 10:00a - 3:00p; we need lots of help and don't expect you to stay all day (unless you want too!). A sign up sheet is available at practice. We need you to spread the word, so we have cars to wash. In conjunction with the car wash, if you eat at Foster's the team earns a percentage. You need to present the attached flyer so they know you're supporting the LH Lightning. Again, share this flyer with friends and family.
Go Lightning!

re: Early morning parent swim
Greetings,
Only one parent has attended the last few 6:30am parent swims with Coach Jay and that person won't be there tomorrow. Coach Jay would like to know if anyone will be attending. If you plan to attend send her an email, if she doesn't receive an email, she won't arrive at the pool until 7:30am.

re: Late Breaking Lightning News
What a meet the other night! We tied the Country Club, it came down to the relays. I believe the magic number was 252.
Some highlights:
On Tuesday evening July 13th from 4:00pm - 8:00pm we will be having a Spirit Night at Chic-Fil-A in Southpoint. Attached are coupons to share with friends and family (and use yourself)! You must present one of these coupons when you order for the team to get 20%.
A flyer for the car wash on July 17th is also attached, if you can post this somewhere or share it with friends and family. All the money made at the carwash goes to the team. A sign up sheet will be at practices beginning Monday (you don't have to stay the whole time). I'll be sending out flyers for Foster's Grill next week, when you eat there on the 17th, the team will earn a percentage.
Money earned at these events helps to keep registration fees down, while enabling us to purchase new equipment. Thank you for supporting the team off the pool deck.
Have a great weekend!
Go Lightning!

re: Lightning Parent Volunteers needed
We've had a few spots open up for this meet because of last minute vacations. They are for easy positions that might even be in the air conditioning, depending on how the Country Club does it. They are in the score room but require no training and are easy to do.
Please sign up if you are available to work!

re: Lightning weekly news flash
Greetings everyone,
I hope you enjoyed the 4th of July holiday!
The swim meet this week is AWAY at the Fredericksburg Country Club on Tidewater Trail. The swimmers should get there by 4:45 and look for the student coaches to check in.
Just because this is an away meet, doesn't mean we don't have jobs to do, so parents check in with Carey when you arrive.
Please remind your swimmers that we are guests of the Country Club and should behave as guests. Remember when we leave to clean up after ourselves.
Practice on Thursday will be the usual "after meet" schedule
13+ at 8:00
9-12 at 8:45
8 and under at 9:30
If you have not gotten your child a team suit and wish to do so, please see Stacy by Wednesday. Wednesday is the last day to get one.
Look for a sign up sheet to help at the car wash on Saturday July 17th at Foster's. Plan dinner out that night too! We get a percentage from you bill.
Heat Sheets for Finals - place your ad by July 14th. Also, available for $1 per signature is a Team page you can have your swimmer(s) sign or put your family name on.
If your swimmers will miss a meet - click the link below to let Coach Jay know - it's that easy!

Donna, we are trying to get the word out that we rescued off the street this afternoon an old, layed-back female, blond lab with no collar. Is it possible to send out a e-mail to the members (especially those on the North side) to contact us at 540-898-8353 if they are missing one or know of someone who may have lost their dog. Anything you can do would be appreciated; we don't need another dog but I won't turn her in to the shelter. Thanks, Rose Marie
