Parent Meeting Re-Cap
There was a good turn out for tonight's parent meeting. For those who were not able to make it - we'd like to give you a recap.
* By-Laws were distributed. Several ammendments were made. The club fiscal year shall run September-August. Members are eligible to vote and/or run for board position after one SEASON with team. Elections will take place in March. Membership fees will be collected in 2 installments beginning next season. Be sure to get a copy of by-laws and read them through.
* 6 new committees are in the process of being formed. Descriptions and responsibilities of each are written. All parents should consider chairing or being a member of a committee. Committee selection sheets were distributed. Please return them to the Engle file by 2/16/07.
* Financial summary for Sept. '06 - Jan '07 were distributed. Please be sure you are up to date on meet entries and dues. Contact Janet Avery if you have any questions about your finances.
* Elections will take place at March parent meeting. If you would like to nominate someone (including yourself) just let a board member know so that name can be put on ballot. Job descriptions of each board position can be found in by-laws.
* We still need people to sign up for April Fool's Day Meet. Please do so! Also, don't forget to solicit ads for our meet program. Ads are due 3/9/07.
* Coach Snow printed a list of "best times" for each swimmer. Please look these over and if there are any incorrect or missing times please email corrections to him.
* We are currently trying to schedule a "Swim-A-Thon". This is a fundraiser for the club. Swimmers get pledges and then swim 2 hours of laps with a goal of 100 - 200 laps. Watch blog for more info as we firm up a date.
* The Hilton pool will be shut down for repairs and maitenance over the February break. Our coaches are encouraging swimmers to swim at alternate locations. Brockport College has several open lap swim times each day. I will post the days and times on future blog. We want to keep our swimmers in shape for championships.
All handouts that were distributed at tonight's meeting can be found in your swimmer's file. Be sure to check these files on a regular basis.
Have a great day!
