SCAY News, January 26, 2010

Hello again!   Thanks to all of the parents who volunteered last week at Ridgeway.    We covered all of our positions well.  Thanks again to Mary Ellen Hurley for coordinating all of this!

The Hollidaysburg Meet is this Saturday at SCAY.   Here are the group responsibilities:

Concession donations and help:   D2   (Parent rep Terry Cumins at terrypsu@yahoo.com)

Set-Up:  Cubs/Pride    (Parent Rep Jen Dangelo at jen_dangelo@comcast.net)

Tear Down:  D1    (Parent Reps Leslie and Chris Finton  fintons@comcast.net)

If you were missed, please contact them and see how you can help.

Roxane Miller and Terry Cumins also asked me to remind those who have not made their drink donations to please donate this weekend.   We have plenty of juice boxes now.  We are really in need of water and Gatorade.   Thanks!

Karen Myford and MaryEllen Hurley, our volunteer coordinators, found that the check-in table at the last home meet made swimmer check-in and volunteer sign-ups run very smoothly.   They will continue to do this at this weekend’s meet and at the Last Chance meet.  (our last home meet!)  If at all possible, they would still prefer that you sign in ahead of time on-line.

Please remember to order your soup and hoagies this week.  Forms were sent via email last week and hard copies are available on the file cabinet in the SCAY lobby.  Deadline for ordering is Monday, February 1, before 5:00pm.

I will soon be sending attachments with information about t-shirt orders for Champs and Districts this year.  I will also leave forms at the YMCA.  Please place completed forms with checks attached in the T-shirt file folder in the cabinet at the YMCA.

The Fundraising and Flowers chairs have still not been filled.   I have spoken with a few people about these positions, but so far no one has committed.   We desperately need these spots covered.  The fundraising chair has the bonus that you will not need to volunteer the weekend of States, and you can do it from home.  (see explanations of positions in last week’s SCAY News)    If you are interested in volunteering for these positions please call me, anytime day or night, at home 466-6163 or via cell 571-0748.  I will get back with you ASAP and help in any way I can.   I understand that we are all very busy.  This is a pretty short term commitment and I think each job is manageable.  Plus, last year’s chairs for both positions have offered to help/offer guidance.   And they have all of the information organized for you!! 

Thanks again for all your help and support.   Best of luck to all of the swimmers this weekend!
