Mark Your Calendars for the MACS Invitational
The MACS Invitational is scheduled for October 15-17 at Arapahoe High School. All MACS families should plan to attend and volunteer to help us run this meet that provides a large portion of our annual financial funding. With over 600 swimmers participating, we really will need the support of everyone. For more information on volunteer opportunities for this meet, contact Teresa Brandon at [email protected].
A Note About Autopayment for MACS Fees
Due to the added volunteer hours needed to handle a high volume of personal checks, MACS will be charging an additional $10 per month fee for families who do not use our automatic payment system. If you have any questions about how to set up automatic payment, please contact Dave Brandon at [email protected]
September Splash Pool Party for New and Returning Families Set for Friday, September 17

Raise Money to Meet Your Fundraising Obligations by Getting Silent Auction Donations or Selling Ads for the MACS Invitational
It’s not too late to get donations for our annual Silent Auction held during the MACS Fall Invitational on October 15-17. The value of the items sold at the auction will be applied to your fundraising obligations, less a very small portion that will be donated to the Megan Dickey Memorial Fund. Another opportunity is to sell advertisements in the meet program. All ad sale income will be applied to your fundraising obligations. Attached are some forms you may wish to use to solicit silent auction donations or program ads. Questions? Contact Laura Wood at [email protected] .
