re: Lightning shed clean up

Calling all hands!! We need help cleaning out the shed to make room for the lane lines and record board (and yes, we have to take this down). We have set the date for October 23rd at 9:00am. Let me know if you can help. Every little bit helps and hopefully it will only take a few hours.


Go Lightning!!

FW: Lightning News Flash

Greetings everyone,

I hope you enjoyed the first "no swim team" week of the summer. A few things that may have gotten buried in the emails:

1. We have are still looking for someone willing to serve on the Board as Concessions Committee Chair for next year. I've had two people say they are willing to be on a Concessions Committee, still looking for one or two more willing to work on this. A good Concession helps keep our registration fee down, so we need this in place now to allow the Board to plan accordingly. Chris, Shannon and Mari have compiled their wisdom into a "Concessions Handbook." So you aren't starting from scratch. Let me know you are willing and i will put you all in touch with each other to work on the details.

2. We have 4 pans (approx 9x13) of lasagna from Danny's left from the Awards Banquet, they are frozen and for sale at $10 each. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing one.

3. From Clif Turman - I've had a few people contact me about not being able to download files from the web site.  Most likely it is because they are entering the "slideshow" mode of the web site.  In order to download photos, you need to go into the "library" mode.  Don't enter the slideshow mode unless you want to watch  a slideshow!

 

Make sure you do not go into the slideshow mode when you visit the web page. You should go into the library and navigate by the drop-down film strip that appears when you hover over the top of the picture. There should be a "download" icon at the bottom left of the picture.

re: Lightning wrap up

A few final thoughts:

We still have 4 pans (approx 11 x13) of lasagna available at $10 each. Cheryl and I have frozen them. If you would like to purchase one, send me an email.

If you were not at the Award Banquet this evening, contact Coach Jay (usa_aus@verizon.net) to get any awards. If you made prior arrangements for someone to pick yours up - THANK YOU!!!

Board Positions:
Treasurer - Kristie Harmon
Meet Director - Gordon Chamberlain
Membership - Shelby McKenzie
RSL Rep - Mark Haines
Equipment - Tanner Cork
Social - Linda Catullo

Concessions - STILL VACANT - I have had several people inquire, but no one wants to do this alone (who would). THIS CAN BE A COMMITTEE!! If you would be willing to be on a Concessions Committee let me know - I will put you all in contact with each other to figure it out. Our AWESOME CONCESSION COMMITTEE for two years, has put together a detailed Concession Book, with contacts, foods, set up, etc. So you aren't starting from scratch.

For those I listed as taking a Board position, let me know if I got anything wrong (it's been known to happen).

Several asked for the recipe of the dessert I made:
S'More Cups
7 whole graham crackers (finely crushed)
1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
6 Tbsp Butter, melted
4 Bars Milk Chocolate Candy, divided
12 Large Marshmallows

1. Preheat oven to 350. Place graham crackers in a resealable plastic bag, and using rolling pin finely crush into crumbs. Combine graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and butter in a small bowl. Scoop into mini muffin pan and press crumbs to form shallow cups. Bake 4-5 minutes or until edges are bubbling. Meanwhile, break 2 candy bars into rectangles. Remove pan from oven; place one rectangle into each cup.

2. Cut marshmallows in half using kitchen shears dipped in cold water (prevents sticking). Place one marshmallow half, cut side down, into each cup. Return pan to oven for 1-2 minutes or until marshmallows are just slightly softened. Remove pan from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove cups from pan. Cool completely.

3. Break remaining candy bars and place in small microwave safe bowl. Microwave on High 1 - 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth stirring every 20 seconds. Dip the top of each marshmallow in melted chocolate. Turn top-side up and let stand 40 minutes -an hour or until set. *NOTE: I had trouble getting the chocolate to melt and be smooth, I ended up spreading softened chocolate on top.

Go Lightning!!
