Hi everyone.  I have lots of news today, so please read through everything carefully.

     Karen Myford and Heather Jordan have arranged for the hoagies and soup to be delivered on Thursday rather than Wednesday because of snow storm expected tomorrow.   The soup and hoagies will now be available Thursday, February 11 between 4:00 and 6:00pm.   Thanks again to Heather and Karen for arranging this.

Meet this Saturday, February 13 with Hollidaysburg at Home   

     I want to make sure everyone knows that the meet this weekend is at SCAY, not at Hollidaysburg as originally scheduled.    The meet will start at 8:00am rather than 9:00.   Both of these changes have been made to accommodate our high school swimmers who need to get in another meet in order to qualify for Districts (due to our 2 cancelled meets).   They have to leave for a high school meet after the medley relays, as I understand.   You will need to have your swimmers there by 6:45 to prepare for warm-ups at 7:00.

     I am keeping the same group assignments from the Hollidaysburg meet that was cancelled on the 30^th:

Here are the group responsibilities:

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

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

As most of you know, we share responsibilities for running the State YMCA Championships with the Bellefonte YMCA   This is a huge undertaking.   It is also our major fundraiser of the year.  (helps us afford new equipment, computers, timing system updates, trophy case, meet entry fees, etc )   Since this benefits everyone, every family on the team is expected to help for at least 1-2 sessions during the meet, even if your child isn’t swimming.  (many of us are there all weekend)   Please save the dates:  March 20-21, 2010!    Please consider how you would like to help.  I will start recruiting soon!

Thursday, February 11:  Pick up hoagies/soup between 4 and 6pm
Saturday, Feb 13:  Let Steve know if your child is NOT participating in Champs.   (Champs meet is in Hollidaysburg on Saturday, February 20.  10 and unders swim in the morning.  Meet starts at 9:00.   Warm-ups prior to meet.    Eleven and older session starts after the morning session ends.)
