COBIA CURRENTS  

 

27 July 2008

 

Thank you all for a great season and for a great Divisional meet at our pool.  We finished 2-3 for the season.

Thanks so much for the generous gifts you gave to me, Laura, Lori and the rest of the coaching staff at the Awards Banquet last night.  We all love what we do but it is nice to be thanked for it.

The Awards Banquet was a lot of fun last night. Jill Wheeler did a wonderful job, again! Thanks, Jill! The slide show was, once again, awesome. Thanks to Bill Amatucci for putting it together. As always, he did an amazing job on it. Many thanks to everyone who assisted him.

Thanks also to all of our parent volunteers who helped throughout the season but especially to everyone who pitched in this past week to make the Divisional Meet a success. Concessions did wonderfully with this meet so it was a HUGE success. A special thanks go to Patty Jarrett and the rest of the concessions team, especially Elizabeth Hurst, Stephanie Grammer and Penny Grammer. They did an amazing job and they are the reason we made so much money on this event. Thanks ladies and great teamwork everyone.

ALL-STARS:  Congratulations to the following swimmers who qualified for All-Stars.  Great job, swimmers!!

VOLUNTEER CHECKS:  If you have completed your volunteer time, please e-mail me.  We have returned checks for all of the families who have submitted forms.  I will e-mail everyone next week whose check I still have to give everyone one last chance to get your check back. 

MEDALS AND PICTURES:  If you were not at the Awards Banquet, please pick up your medals and pictures at the pool.  Medals are on the counter in the guard’s office.  Pictures are in the Swim Team Box which is also in the guard’s office. 

FOLDERS:  Please check your folders one last time.  The Divisional Ribbons were put in the folders on Saturday.  The Swim Team Box will remain in the Guard’s office throughout the rest of the summer.  You may have to tell them what it looks like if there is a sub or new guard in.

WINTER SWIM:  Winter swim will be Saturdays from 7-8 at South Run.  I think I still have room so please send me the form if you would like to participate.   Coaches will be Alex Paris, Binh Ly and Phil Pollman.  I need to have all registration forms by August 15 so we can decide if we are keeping all 4 lanes this year.

Enjoy your August!!  I will be gone for the next week without e-mail access but will check back in next week if anyone has questions or problems.

Don’t forget TGIFs every Friday at the pool.  If you would like to help, please e-mail me or Paul MacKinnon.  The more help we have the better they can be.

Thanks!!!
