Good morning Torpedo! Practices are going fantastic so far, and I wanted to get some more information to everyone about a few additional things for the summer!
First of all, we have already raised about $400 for our fundraiser. PLEASE get the word out to everyone you know via facebook, twitter, church circles, gas station stops, etc. So many people have benefited from the Rec, and this is a fantastic opportunity for folks to give a little back. Any amount is helpful! Here is the link again: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lane-lines-for-valdese
Second, the Tarheel Swim League hosted a stroke and turn clinic this past weekend in Marion. Special thanks to Amy Qurollo for taking the time to go after having finished her first half-marathon! If you have been trained as a stroke and turn official in the past, please make a point to come and speak to me. If you are interested in becoming one, please come and speak to me. It is important to have these and other positions filled at our meets, and the more folks we have able to do them, the easier it is on everyone else. I hope that we will see one member from each family participating in some role at meets, but our stroke and turn folks are incredibly important, and we desperately need you (last year's constant officials got a wonderful massage gift as a way of saying thank you)!
Finally, we will be having team pictures on July 17th at our home meet against Transylvania and Black Mountain. Sportpix from Shelby will be taking individual and team pictures beginning at 4pm. I will have order forms available beginning on Monday, June 16th.
That's it for now! Thanks again for being a great team! I'll be out of town Tuesday through Friday, and Coach Haley and Coach Alec will be handling practices. PLEASE REMEMBER our schedule change on Thursday to our new schedule.
Have a great day!
