Good morning, Torpedo Family!
The end of the season is here, and, on behalf of the coaches, we want to thank you all for a great season! The champs meet went well, and we were in the mix among the teams for fourth up until the last two relays. Ultimately, the numbers were a factor, but we did a great job swimming, with a lot of best times and only three DQs the entire meet. A special congratulations goes to Daynesa and Desiree Gonzalez and Lilah Johnson for scoring in the top three for their age groups at the meet!
This Friday, August 16, from 5-7pm, we'll have our end of season potluck at the Splash Pad building. We'll have some fellowship, some fun, and great food, and the swimmers will get their ribbons for the season. Please use the SignUpGenius here to tell us what you're bringing and so we can know what to supplement if we need to. https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/508084CABAE2AAAF58-50647455-2024
Finally, I have two asks of our team this year. First, we haven't done an end of season survey in a couple of seasons, and I want to reintroduce that process. This is a chance to give us feedback anonymously about what is working and what needs tweaking. It takes only a few minutes to complete, and it lets us know your thoughts on the program. The link for that survey is here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/vtst2024
Second, the Town of Valdese Parks and Recreation Department is starting the process for our 10 Year Comprehensive Plan. The first of several steps and opportunities for input and feedback is a survey put together by the Western Piedmont Council of Governments. We want to get this survey in the hands of as many people as possible to help us guide our planning processes for the next decade. What facilities and programs do you like and use frequently? What needs some love? Is the staffing model appropriate for the department? What are some new things that you would like to see? The link to this survey is coming via Remind, but it is also included here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/valdeserecsurvey.
Thank you all for a great season! If you can't make Friday's dinner, please come by the pool to pick up ribbons. We hope to see everyone next season if not before in some of the other programs we offer at the Valdese Parks and Recreation Department!
