re: Lightning News Flash!!

Greetings everyone!!

It's that time of year - ICE CREAM!!! Yes the Annual Ice Cream Social is this Sunday - April 29th from 3:00pm - 5:00pm at the South Side Clubhouse.

I've attached the registration form (one per family) and the release of liability (one per swimmer). We will be doing job sign ups starting on Sunday at the Social, to help you be prepared I've attached a Job Description list to explain the jobs. After Sunday, job sign ups will be online - details to follow.

Some key jobs we need people to train and sign up for:
Training sessions will be announced soon.
Head Clerk of Course
Starter
Referee
Stroke and Turn

If you have a question about a job, please ask. Every family is required to sign up for six (6) halves of meets, it's best to pick your job rather than be assigned. Open-mouth smile

Be certain to include the $25.00 per family concession fee when submitting your check with your registration.

There is a new suit this year (we've had the last one 2 seasons). The vendor will be at the MOCK MEET on SATURDAY, JUNE 16TH so that they can be tried on and purchased on the spot.

We are still looking for sponsors - do you have a business in the area? Know someone who does? Contact Jennifer Runk -
runkfamily@yahoo.com, for more information. 
Go Lightning!!

re: Lightning News Flash

Greetings everyone!! It's time again to think about swim team.

Our Annual Ice Cream Social is Sunday, April 29th from 3:00pm - 5:00pm at the South side clubhouse.

Attached is the registration form and release of liability form. One registration form per family and one liability form per swimmer. The Board has increased the concession fee this year to $25 per family. This increase will help us to cover the cost of a quality program, but spread it equally among families.

Each family is required to sign up to work 6 halves of meets. Some positions require training, which is provided by the RSL. One position we absolutely need someone to be trained for is Clerk of Course. If you are willing to train for this contact me as soon as possible, our previous Clerk of Course is willing to share her knowledge. I will post the RSL training schedule as soon as it is available.

Some other important dates:
May 29th - first evening practice
June 8th - last day of school (county schools)
June 11th - morning practices begin
June 16th - Mock meet (in the morning) - last day to register
June 20th - first RSL meet - away

The website has been updated with forms, dates, and general information. If you find something is out of date, please email me so I can correct it. If a link doesn't work it may be because the form has not been updated.

Coach Jay and Assisant Coach Megan will be leading our team again this year. We will be announcing our line up of Student Coaches soon. Coach Jay will be organizing the "volunteer" coaches this year - look for more information at the Ice Cream Social.

Go Lightning!!!
