FW: Lightning News Flash

Throughout the season pictures have been taken by Sandy and Clif. Below is the link to view all the photos and download the ones you'd like to have. The album will be removed from the site at the end of September, so don't delay viewing and downloading.

Just to eliminate some frustration, I have a few pointers for downloading the photos to pass along:

1) Don't click on the "slideshow" link in the upper right corner, as there is no provision to download photos while in slideshow mode.

2) Instead, I would recommend clicking on one of the photos, which then gives you hot spots on the left/right/top of the photo for navigating the album, and you can download any displayed photo by clicking the download icon below the lower left corner of the the picture.

3) If you do go into slideshow mode, you can go back to web page mode by clicking the left arrow in the upper left corner.

I missed a Board member on the previous list and a greatly apologize!!

Re: Lightning News Flash

Ok, this is it FINALS!!!!

Here's the run down:
Parking is to the right as you face the building (between the ball fields and playground) - if you park on the street be mindful of "No Parking" signs. DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF THE BUILDING. Team areas are out back (so no need to go through the building). Parking at Parkside Elementary is always an option.

1st session workers check in with Linda Catullo

• Workers for set up need to be there by 6:00am
• Workers for heat sheet and T-shirt sales need to be there by 6:45am

Swimmers 10 and under (swimming 25yds)

• need to be at the Spotsy YMCA at 6:30am to check in
• warm ups at 7:00am
• meet starts at 8:15am

Swimmers 11 and up (swimming 50yds+)

• need to be at the Spotsy YMCA at 10:30am to check in
• warm ups at 11:10am
• meet starts at 11:45am

2nd / 3rd Session workers need to check in with Vickie Wilkinson

All officials - timers, stroke and turn, and referees are reminded that excessive cheering can interfere with the job we are doing (or someone else doing their job). We are asked to be mindful of this.

Awards Banquet:
Sunday is the celebration of a great season. A-M should bring a side dish to share, N-Z bring dessert. Everyone should bring drinks for their family. Chairs and folding tables aren't a bad idea. The fun starts at 5:00pm, North pool.

We still have Board positions available. Elections will be held as part of Sunday's event.

re: Lightning News Flash

Lee's Hill Lightening Families,

Do not miss our end of the year picnic and celebration on August 5th! If you are planning to attend please be sure to bring a dish. If your last name ends in A-M bring a side dish and if your last name ends in N-Z please bring a dessert. The team will supply the main dish. There will be awards and some family competition so come ready to celebrate a great season! The fun begins at 5:00pm.

Less than a week remaining in our swim season. Less than a week to have parents step up to fill the Board positions needed for next year. You can nominate yourself or someone else - they do not need to be present on Sunday, but we need confirmation of their willingness to accept the nomination.

At the Awards Banquet we will hold the Annual Meeting of the membership to elect new Board members. At this point one person has let me know they are willing to serve on the Board. This is great, but we need a total of FIVE.

Think about all your child gets out of being part of swim team, the friends they have made, the friend you have made and what you can do to keep the team around for your child and others. The swim team was begun 17 years ago and I'd love to see around for another 17 and beyond.

Go Lightning!!

Coach Jay

 

 

FW: List of swimmers

Okay everyone this is it - our final dual meet of the season is TOMORROW - MONDAY, JULY 23RD at HOME

First a word from Coach Jay:

Dear Swimmers and Parents,

 

One more regular season meet to go Monday 23^rd , it's a home meet against Regency please if you are not going to be here for that meet let me ASAP by e-mail. 

 

The coaches and I are getting ready for finals  this means 2 days of planning, no evening clinics this week and if you are not going to be at finals August 4^th please let me know by Wednesday 25^th .  Once the entries have been put in the computer on Saturday 28^th I cannot change the entries, we are only allowed so many in each event including free so please let me know ASAP        

 

Thank you and see you at the poll

 

Coach Jay

Usa_aus@verizon.net

 

Next a word from Concessions:

Can you send out an email to see if anyone can pick up the ice from the southpoint McDonald's for Monday's meet?  They would just need to be at the pool around 4:00 to get the bins and pick up the ice around 4:30.  Thanks!

Next a word from the Board:

There is just two weeks before our Awards Banquet, on Sunday August 5th, to finish the season. At the Banquet we will hold the Annual meeting of the membership to elect new Board members. We need five (5) parents to step up to serve on the Board. Maybe you would like to fill a particular position, maybe you are just willing to serve on the Board in whatever capacity is needed. Please let me know as soon as possible of your willingness. Do you know someone who would be good? Nominate them, I'll talk with them to see if they are willing.

An email will be sent out this week with details for the Awards Banquet, but for anyone that is new - it's held at the Pool on Sunday August 5th (the day after Finals), it's a potluck. We swim, we eat, and we recognize our swimmers. A break down of what to bring will be sent out this week.

Go Lightning!!

re: Lightning News Flash

Early results from this evening:

Lee's Hill 200

Grafton  296

 

Triple winner was

Sam Kauppert (16)          100 free 59.50 – 50 Fly 30.97 – 50 Breast 37.13

 

Still to come are improvements.

Great job to everyone tonight, and we just got it in before the lightning started!

Cathy will be getting a list of jobs we need to fill for Finals. Once she gets that she will add to mysignups.com so that you can fill the positions. Thanks in advance for helping.

Now, we have one meet and Finals left (you know what's coming), and we need five (5) parents to step up to be on the Board next year. I haven't listed specific positions, for a couple reasons. The first, and most important, is getting 5 parents that are willing to work together to accomplish the needed tasks, they can utilize each of their strengths. Second, is the roles of each position have morphed over the years to include more/less than what is listed in the handbook description, but what was needed at the time. Third, some times a title scares people away (Chair isn't really that bad!), but being on the Board isn't quite as bad. But for those that want position titles - Chair, Vice-Chair, RSL Rep, Meet Director, and Fundraiser/Spirit. I've attached the descriptions of Board positions as they stand now. I have asked the current Board members to write up what they actually do.

Go Lightning!!

re: Lightning News Flash

Here is a link to more team pictures: http://www.photoshop.com/users/turmanator/albums/8d60d939b79846cf9c42b2a58e7eee37
If you don't see a picture of your child, or you would like a particular picture please let Sandy or Cliff know. They try very hard to get pictures of everyone, but with the way the kids move around (and they don't all have team suits) it is hard to be certain to get everyone.

Wednesday July 18th is an away meet against Grafton (directions on the website and facebook page). Swimmers should arrive by 4:45p and check in with the coaches. Parents should check in with Cathy to see if she has any jobs that need filling.

Attached is a menu from Grafton. Below is a note from there RSL Rep:

The Grafton Dolphins are excited to host the Lee's Hill Lightening on Wednesday.  It's been a while since we've meet at our pool, so I wanted to remind you that parking is very limited.  Most people will need to park on the street.  Our neighbors would appreciate it if everyone would be sure that their cars are entirely off the pavement and not blocking any driveways.  The roads are narrow in Grafton Village so sloppy parking tends to draw the attention of the Sherriff's Department. 

 

We also want you to know that we run a full concessions service.  We've attached a menu so your swimmers and parents can plan their dinner with us.

 

Looking forward to a great meet,

 

Pete O'Hara

Grafton RSL Rep

Just another reminder that we have two meets and Finals left of the season and the team needs five (5) parents to step up to serve on the Board next year. If you are willing to serve on the Board please send me an email. You can, also, nominate someone (I will check with them to ensure they are willing).

re: Lightning News Flash

Great job tonight to all the swimmers and parents!! I don't  know the final score, I'll post that later. Just a few quick reminders:

Practice is at the regular time tomorrow (Tuesday).
NO evening clinic tomorrow (Tuesday)
Meet is Thursday night at home. Swimmers should arrive at 4:15 for the team picture - you can gather on the hill, outside the fence, behind the shed.

If you would like to place an ad in the Finals Heat Sheet, you need to submit the ad and payment by Thursday night. They can be put in the box in the Haines family folder. The form was sent out last night and is on the website.

If you have a swimmer that graduated from high school this year and/or will age out please let me know:
         The number of years they've swum for Lee's Hill
         If they swam year round and/or for college
         Where they will be going to college and their major

Go Lightning!!
