Meet at Granite Falls Tonight (including directions)

Good morning everyone!

I want to urge everyone one last time to take a moment to contribute to our fundraiser. You can donate securely online at https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lane-lines-for-valdese. This is a secure website. Any amount ($5, $10, $20, etc.) will go a long way to helping us meet our goal. We are doing this to improve the pool you and your swimmers all enjoy. It is for their benefit and for the benefit of the community at large.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. There is the chance of rain, so please come prepared in the event it does rain. As usual, parents please plan to volunteer for spots to time and help officiate.

We do need a few parents who are comfortable around computers to spend some time learning to use the timing/scoring program. It isn't a difficult job once you've seen it done a few times, and it is primarily data entry. The more people we have with knowledge of the program, the better. Anyone interested in helping out this way, please come see me when you arrive for the meet.

Directions to the Granite Falls Recreation Department (56 Pinewood Rd., Granite Falls): Take Malcolm Blvd./ Connelly Springs Rd. across the river. Turn Right on Dry Ponds Rd., then Left on Main St. Take the first Right on Pinewood Rd. Take the first Right to stay on Pinewood Rd. and the Rec should be on the Left.

There are a lot of swimmers for Granite Falls, so please try to get there with ample time to find a place and to warm up. Swimmers need to be there and ready to get in the water by 5:30pm. Let's have a great meet tonight!
