We have our FIRST team breakfast tomorrow! Thank you to all of your who used our handy-dandy sign up sheet and are supplying the goodies! Team breakfasts are always a fun event! Tomorrow, in addition to all the deliciousness you all are bringing...Karen from A La Carte will be providing pancakes! So come hungry!
Friday we are all set to host our second Friday Fun Night!! This weeks theme is an 'Ice Cream Social'. For 5$ kids get all the ice cream (and a large assortment of toppings) they can eat! We will have music rocking, and just like last week, this is NOT limited to members---kids can bring their friends! There is a 5$ cash charge for them to get in, and the proceeds from both events support our team!! In addition to the ice cream station we will be selling hot dogs and bratwurst so non-members have something more substantial than just ice cream. These will all be pre-cooked---so we won't have issues like last week with the pizza! Also, the club is going to have the snack bar OPEN for food this Friday night, and will also be serving beer and wine. :) A little before 8 we will set up for the meet, and anybody who can help out---it would be GREATLY appreciated!! Rumor has it there MAY be free beer to parent volunteers!!
You may also be aware that the club is having an event at the pool from 8:30-10:30. They will be showing the movie Soul Surfer. I have spoken with Leo, and we ARE going to set up for the meet as planned, at 8pm. The movie will be viewed from the pool, so moving the chairs around will not be a problem. This is a great idea for an event, but the coaches feel pretty strongly that swim team swimmers should leave at 8pm (after set up!) so they can go home and get a good nights rest. Hopefully we can have more movie nights at the pool this summer that our team's families can participate in!! :)
Saturday is a home meet, as you know. Swimmers are expected to be at the pool at 7:45 with our warm ups starting no later than 8am!!! The team we play this week is a LARGE team, so we need to make sure to get the meet kicked off ON TIME!! For my parents, there will be lots of jobs that need to be filled!! Timers, Clerk of Course, Runners all are critical to a successful meet!! DON'T BE SHY!!! Find Tony Bowers (head timer), Kathy or myself to get a position!!!
We are happy to announce that we WILL be doing "Swimmer of the Week" towels again this year! This is an honor given to a boy and girl in each age category--12 and under, and 13 and up. Swimmer of the Week is not necessarily the fastest swimmers, but the kids will be recognized for accomplishments on the team. In addition, we will be offering a green beach towel that says "ECC Barracudas", these will be for sale to our team members. Stay tuned for the details about that!! And a thank you to Beth for organizing and ordering those!!
As always, thank you so much for your support!! A bag of cookies here, and a breakfast casserole there, make the season fun and enjoyable for all---that is why we are a TEAM!!! :) GO BARRACUDAS!!!!
