WEST Weekly

 
Congratulations to our swimmers who competed at the WEST February Invitational meet this weekend – there were lots of personal best times!  A huge thank you to all volunteers.  It is wonderful the way folks show up and are flexible – as example, when deck marshalls are asked to time,  timers to head time, clerks of course to do awards and hospitality folks to learn computer....on and on...  WEST is a wonderful community. 
 
Volunteer hours should be confirmed.  PLEASE CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE SURE APPROPRIATE HOURS WERE CREDITED.   I tried to get all of the changes but some may not be reflected correctly.  Please notify [email protected] with any necessary corrections. 
 
There will be one more opportunity to receive volunteer hours credit for this swim year at the July PNS Long Course Champs meet that WEST will host in Federal Way.  Sign up is available although there may be some additions of shifts in the next month or so. 
 
Thanks,

S wim-A-Thon Letter Writing Party TOMORROW!
Our annual Swim-a-Thon is right around the corner! This Saturday, March 8th, after practice we will be holding a Swim-a-Thon letter writing party! We encourage all swimmers to attend. Click Here for our informational flyer.

To streamline the letter-writing process we have attached three sample letters that can be used as-is or modified to suit your preference. Please bring your letters and addresses to the letter writing party. WEST will mail all domestic letters turned in at the letter writing party.

Additionally, we will be holding informal parent meetings during these times for those parents who would like to know more about the Swim-a-Thon and what they can do to make this year's fundraiser a success. We will be looking for parents who are willing to solicit donations or prizes from local businesses or who will contact local print and radio stations for press release submission.
If you would like to contribute muffins to feed our hungry swimmers after practice on Saturday, please let the front office know ([email protected]).
