re: Lightning News Flash

Greetings everyone,
 
Our season is drawing to an end, but the end is extremely busy!! So a few items that need your attention:
 
1. Finals job sign up - SIGN UP NOW!!!! Go to mysignup.com; enter leehillswims@yahoo.com to get to the sign up page or click the links in the box below. We need you to sign up NOW!! We won't have time on Saturday to go running around to find people to work. You'll notice all the people needed to run concessions - this is BIGGER than a regular meet and a HUGE fundraiser for the team. If your child is swimming (and a 101 are) than you need to sign up for at least one job (how many jobs you did during the season doesn't matter). If you don't sign up for a job, your child will not be able to compete - THAT SIMPLE. As it stands now, Libby will have to make a lot of phone calls/send emails. Any questions, email Libby by Wednesday morning - leehillswims@yahoo.com Don't put it off, CLICK the LINK NOW AND GET IT DONE!! 
 
We, also, need some supplies for the concession stand and our team area (we'll be outside) - so check the "Finals Supplies" sign up and see if you can help out. Signing up to bring something from the supply list DOES NOT replace the need for you to sign up for a job!

2. Board Positions to Fill - We have several Board positions that need to be filled, without a full Board the team CAN NOT exist. Please consider volunteering for a position on the Board:
  • RSL Representative
  • Treasurer
  • Meet Director
  • Concessions (this was a committee of three)
  • Membership
  • Equipment
  • Social
Talk to any current Board Members to let us know you are willing to step up, or to ask questions. We elect the new Board members at the Annual Meeting which takes place at the Awards Banquet. Please, don't make me stand up there and beg. Email, call or catch me at practice or Finals and let me know.
 
3. Friday Breakfast - After all the practices on Friday, we will haveour traditional potluck breakfast. Everyone should bring a breakfast item to share to the practice they attend. Please bring any serving utentsils necessary for your dish. Food will be set up in the clubhouse.
 
4. Finals - Saturday, August 6th @ the Ron Rosner YMCA of Spotsylvania (the Spotsy Y), 5700 Smith Station Rd.
  • The 1st Session is for 10 and under (all the 25 yard events) - these swimmers need to arrive by 6:15am, warm ups at 7:00am.
  • The 2nd and 3rd Session are for 11 and up (2nd Session will include relays that may involve 1st Session swimmers) - these swimmers need to arrive by 10:15am, warm ups at 11:00. The division between 2nd and 3rd Session is the half way mark in events (like a regular meet).
  • Please park as directed at the Y, I believe to either end of the building, not in front of the building (this is for members access).
  • DO NOT enter the Y by the front doors. Entry to the pool deck is from the pool side door.
  • The team areas are behind the building and our area will be close to the Pavillion to enable parents helping at concessions to keep an eye on their kids.
  • Concession Cards are on sale NOW! See Chris, Shannon or Mari to purchase one. If you don't purchase a Concession Card, you'll have to stand in line to purchase tickets (like everyone else). Concession Cards from the regular season will be honored and if you end up with money left on your card it can be used next season.
 
5. Awards Banquet - Sunday August 7th @ 5:00pm, North Pool - This is a fun evening to socialize and recognize the accomplishments of our swimmers. We have a potluck dinner, the team will supply the main dish. Everyone else should bring a side dish for at least 10 people (salad, fruit, breads, vegetables, etc.) AND drinks for your family. It is also suggested that you bring chairs/tables. As part of the evening we hold our Annual meeting and select new Board members - remember the team needs a complete Board to continue.
 
I'm sure there will be more before the end of the week, but this will get us started with the important tasks at hand.
 
A quick to do list:
  • sign up for a job at Finals
  • Let us know you are interested in being on the Board


Go Lightning!!
