re: Lightning News Flash

This is a new email, so though some items remain the same - look for NEW information!

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!! A selection of jobs are still available, don't wait until the last minute!!
 
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!

**Here's a tip for jobs and seeing your child swim - if they are older, work Session 1;
if they are younger work Session 2 or 3
I will personally give you a ride for the 1st Session or make sure you get home at the end of the meet!
Just arrange a ride for your swimmer.
 
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.

I haven't heard from anyone regarding taking a Board position, it's for your kids - step up!!

3. Practice times return to normal tomorrow - Older kids start at 7:30 and everyone else starts at their usual time.

4. Concession Cards -
get your Concession Cards now!! See Chris, Shannon or Mari. This will allow you to skip the line to get tickets and get right to the food. Remember ALL the proceeds from the Concession stand go to OUR TEAM!!! This is a major fundraiser for us.

5. Breakfast on Friday - remember to bring a breakfast item to practice Friday, for our traditional potluck breakfast after the last practice for the summer. Breakfast is set up for the swimmers after each practice. **Note - bring any serving utensils for your dish.

6. Awards Banquet - Sunday, August 7th at 5:00pm. Each family should bring a side dish, that serves 10, to share and drinks for your family. Bring chairs and tables if you have them.
**Note - bring any serving utensils for your dish.

To highlight the key points:
  • SIGN UP FOR JOBS
  • Let me know you're interested in being on the Board next year
  • Purchase a Concession Card

Go Lightning!!!
