Hilton Area Swim Team (HAST)

The HAST Swim-A-Thon will take place on Monday, March 5, 2007 from 5:30 - 7:30. Materials will be distributed to swimmers at practice on Monday (2/26/07) evening. All swimmers are asked to get as many pledges as possible! It's time to cash in on favors from family, friends, neighbors, teachers etc.. People can pledge a per lap price or just make a flat donation. ALL swimmers are being asked to participate. This was our #1 money maker last season. The size of our team has more than tripled so we should see an even greater profit this year! Many people expressed an interest in a "fund raising buy-out" at one of our recent parent meetings - the board is proposing a $50 family but-out for those not wanting to collect pledges. We'd like to see ALL swimmers in the pool the night of our swim-a-thon. We will need some parents to stay and be volunteer "lap counters" the night of our swim-a-thon. At the conclusion of our 2 hour swimming we will have a celebration with pizza and snacks for the kids (7:30-8:30). Traditionally this has been a LOT of fun for the kids. This year should be BIGGER, BETTER, and even MORE FUN!! Mark your calendars and start gathering those pledges!
