Change to the Swim-A-Thon Date - Mark your calendars for March 10!
The Wave Booster Board agreed to move the date of the Swim-A-Thon to March 10. There were several reasons for this:
· There is a district diving meet Saturday, February 11 at Juanita that will start at 9am. To have time for swimming and fun (costumes! prizes!) we need more than 2 hours.
· The extra time allows swimmers and families more time to collect pledges and donations, based on some feedback from families.
· More time to procure prizes for swimmers - the deadline for turning in prizes has been extended to February 15th.
If you have specific questions about procurement contact Dorothy Lautman:
or Shirley Carr:
This is our one team fundraiser that we do on a yearly basis. Last year we raised $11,000! Money from that was used to buy dryland equipment, prizes for the event, and to help offset some of our start-up costs of getting the Redmond Pool up and running.
Our stated goal last year was to raise enough money for pool covers which would make a HUGE impact on our bottom line of operating the pools. That remains a goal for this year. Other possible uses for funds raised include:
· Remaking the lobby at Redmond to make it a more comfortable place for parents to sit during practice ·
· Any needed dryland or pool equipment
The primary goal for any money raised from this event is to improving the team in some way- which in turn benefits the swimmers.
