Friday races tomorrow; grocery bagging Dec. 23
Hi all,
A reminder that tomorrow is our second Friday Night at the Races.
Cubs and above will take part in these informal races, featuring prizes. It's all fun and games, but we'd like to actually collect times from these so our swimmers can see how they're improving.
We'll need 8 to 10 volunteers from 4:30 to 6:30 to help with this. No need to sign up; just show up if you can. It's a great chance to watch the kids swim and get to know more folks in our club!
Swim-a-thon cash
If you haven't handed in your pledge sheets or cash from the swim-a-thon Marie Fast will be at the pool Friday for the races. She'll be collecting all the funds and tallying up the results.
Grocery bagging Dec. 23
Our next fundraising event is grocery bagging at the Yellowknife Co-op on Dec. 23.
Ideally, we'll have 12 kids for each of the 2-hour shifts between 10 am and 6 pm.
Kids under 10 need a parent to stay with them. Those over 10 can be dropped off alone, or you can help supervise.
Funds raised will be equally divided toward the fundraising quotas of all participants. Last time, we made over $35/hour.
Sign up by contacting Angie Viloria on Facebook/messenger, [email protected] or 867-444-1231.
This is our last fundraising opportunity in 2023. Next year, we'll have more bingo opportunities and the 50/50 draw.
If you have any other ideas for fundraisers and can help plan/coordinate, please bring them forward. Any money raised first goes towards fulfulling your swimmer's fundraising obligation and any excess goes towards your swimmer's travel fund for the swim season.
Cheers!
Sara
