End of Year Banquet: From 5:30-8pm, please join us at our pool for a celebration of our season! The team will provide fried chicken, hot dogs, cake, and some drinks. We are asking for families to sign-up to bring food to share. If you have five or more people attending, please plan to bring 2 party size items and if you have four or less people attending, please plan to bring at least 1 party size item to share. Bring any extra drinks and chairs to sit on. Kids will have access to the pool as well.
We are looking for a volunteer/s to help manage the token store during the banquet and help set up. Times would be from 5-5:30 and from 6-7pm. Please email [email protected] if you know someone who would like to help!
If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, please do. It helps the team prepare for how much food to have on hand.
Thanks to all our swimmers and fantastic volunteer parents! This season would not be as successful as it was without everyone pitching in and supporting each other.
See you at the pool!
