CONCESSIONS:  At each of our home meets, we will provide concessions.  This is an excellent fundraising opportunity for us and keeps the cost of our program to a minimum.  This year we will need parent volunteers to cook/serve during the meets, and we are hoping to get LOTS of volunteers – the more folks we have helping out, the less time each will need to work!  Also, we will need some food to be donated by parents – the more donations – the more money we have for the kids!  Items for donation will be posted on Sign Up Genius.  Our Concession Lead is Amanda Holsinger.

 

MISSING A MEET:  Please notify our coaches by using “The Book” to sign out your swimmer from a meet. This book will be at all practices. Please make a note of any meets that your child will miss by the preceding Thursday of the meet – that will allow time to put meet entries together by the following Monday.  Don’t forget – in order to swim in the Championship Meet on July 28th, each swimmer must participate in at least 2 regular season meets!

 

CHAMPS:  The VSL Championship Meet will be held this year at Godwin Hall on JMU’s campus, and the Sharks are responsible for Champs t-shirt and heat sheets. 

 

HEAT SHEET ADS:  As a team, we are responsible for providing advertisements to put into the Heat Sheet.  This is a great way to advertise your business or just wish your swimmer GOOD LUCK.  Ads and payments must be turned in to Sharon by mid July, but it’s never too early – check with local businesses to see if they would be willing to sponsor an ad.  See attached for sizes and cost.

 

EMAIL ADDRESS:  We will be providing information during the season via e-mail and the website. Please be sure to have your e-mail updated at registration or contact Sharon at 271-1389 (armentrout.sharon@va.sysco.com)
