BAM News: Thank You Boosters, Bye Ken, and Labor Day Weekend Schedule

Bainbridge Aquatic Masters
Happy Wednesday, BAM!
 
Many thanks to the BAM Boosters board for hosting the Summer Pool Party (with root beer floats - yum) on Sunday! It was wonderful to chat with friends, new and old.
 
At the party, Paul Webber spoke a tribute to Ken Bennett, a longtime member of BAM and former BAM Boosters president, who is moving to Orcas Island. We will miss seeing you at practice, Ken, but trust that you will remain a member of the BAM community!
 
Paul also spoke of his gratitude for BAM, which, in the busyness of life, is something I frequently loose sight of. Talking to other coaches brings it back into perspective; their jaws drop when describe qualities that are ordinary for BAM: Social events and a sense of community? 200 team members? A full-time coach??? 24 practices a week??? BAM is an extraordinary entity that I must remind myself not to take for granted.
 
News for the week:
  • BAM will take a mini-break over the Labor Day weekend. There will be no practice on Friday and Saturday, August 29 and 30, and Monday, September 1.
  • Bainbridge schools resume on Tuesday, September 2. Be prepared for muddled traffic.
See you at the pool.
