Good afternoon Torpedo family!
Thank you to everyone who has worked hard on our fundraiser. We are now over $1,200! We still need your help to get the word out to folks, and to encourage them to donate. Every little bit will help. The link can be found here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lane-lines-for-valdese. We have 19 days left to raise the needed amount!
On to business: the meet this week has expanded. Forest City will be joining us and Granite Falls. We will have a lot of swimmers. Swimmers MUST be signed up by the end of Monday night's practice in order to be in the meet. If a swimmer isn't signed up, they will not be entered in the meet. Right now I believe most of you have signed up, but if you haven't and intend to participate, please sign up at practices on Monday.
There is the potential for the meet to run late if we don't have everything squared away with volunteers. We will need EVERYONE to help out or to be ready to help out if needed. Part of the fun of this team is getting to be involved in the running of the meets. Before the meet gets started, please come and see me to sign up for a volunteer slot.
There will be a lot of people, so get to the pool early to stake out your spot. You may come on deck as early as 4pm to set up any tents. There will be snow cones to help with the fundraiser, as well as to help ward off the heat. Warm-ups will begin promptly at 5pm, so please don't be late. We have a limited time for warm up.
The meet will be available on Meet Mobile. In the event you haven't used this app before, it will give you all of the meet information including events your child is swimming, heat sheets, results, and scores. It is available for Android and iOs (iPhones, iPads). We will still post paper versions your swimmer's entries, but it is our hope to eventually move away from this to strictly using the app. You can find the meet by searching for "VTST." I can help you with this if you have difficulty, but as I will be busy right before the meet, please ask other team parents for help before you come to me.
See you all tomorrow!
