WEST Weekly

Dear WEST swim fans,

Well there goes September and here comes October. It's been a very busy month and things are about to get busier.

Fall Yard/Gym Sale - Next Saturday
Our first fundraiser of the year is right around the corner! We are looking for volunteers! We need at least 5 volunteers for Friday evening sorting and set-up (4-8p); at least 5 for Saturday morning set-up and selling (6-10a); and at least 5 for Saturday mid-day selling and clean-up (10a-2p). We will need trucks to transport any remaining items to community Good Will Truck up the street. Please email the front office to sign-up.

Meet Declarations Due Today!
If you have not already turned in your Short Course Meet Declaration, please drop it off at the front office today. If no one is in the office, please drop your declaration into the black after-hours drop box in the entry.

One change: The NWAC Halloween Invitational is a short course meters meet and we invite ALL swimmers to attend! Senior swimmers attending the NWAC meet do not need to attend the October Challenge.

Team T-Shirts and Caps
Our Team T-Shirts were delivered this week. We started distribution yesterday. If your swimmer has not already picked up his/her shirts, please have them stop by the front office.

If you did not attend the Kick-Off BBQ last weekend, your swimmer should also pick up a cinch bag containing this year's WEST caps. If you would like to trade for a silicone cap, please turn in the two new latex team caps to the front office during office hours.If we don't have a form on file for your swimmer, we won't be able to enter them in meets. If you haven't already turned one in, then please do so.

Yardsale - NEXT SATURDAY October 5th

Our semi-annual yardsale fundraiser is next Saturday. We will be collecting donations starting Thursday and will need people to help volunteer Friday night and Saturday. More info available here.
