NEW SWIMMER ORIENTATION

If you have a new swimmer this spring, the first practice will be April 1st from 6-7 pm for new swimmer orientation.  There will be a brief parent’s meeting to answer any questions you may have as well as go over expectations. 

 

JUMP N’ JAM

Save the date!  We will be having a Jump n’ Jam (music and open swim) for our swimmers April 6th from 4-5:30. DFAC will provide snacks.  We could use a handful of volunteers to help manage the event.  Please reach out if you can help. 

 

MEET DIRECTOR – OPEN BOARD POSITION

The Meet Director is an essential role for DFAC.  We need someone with a technology background (experience with Google would be preferred) and will be available to help with the technology side for our home meets (which is our largest source of revenue).  

Anyone interested in running for any of the positions on the ballot or have any questions regarding the roles, please reach out to [email protected].  

 

BOARD POSITIONS FOR ELECTION

In April, the following board positions will be up for re-election:  Vice President, Treasurer, Fundraising, and Meet Director.  Stacey Harmon (VP), Marianne Schulz (Treasurer), and Mandy Lother (Fundraising) will be on the ballot for re-election.  Andi Farladzhov will be stepping down from her role as the Meet Director. 

 

ATHLETIC COMPLEX VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

DFAC has an upcoming opportunity June 6th – 8th to work concessions at the Athletic Complex in DeForest.  This was one of our largest fundraising events last year.  Please save the date to sign up for shifts.  An event will be posted soon in TeamUnify.

 

DFAC ANNUAL BANQUET

The annual banquet recognizing our swimmers will be held on April 13th at Windsor Elementary School.  There will be a potluck sign up in TeamUnify so please watch for updates.   The board will also have a quick update on the team, our financials, and vote on any open board positions.

 

MAY HOME SWIM MEET RAFFLE BASKET DONATIONS

We have not received any donations.  If you are interested in helping, please reach out to Mandy via the email below.

The board is now accepting donations for a raffle gift basket to raffle off during the May meet.  This will be a fundraising opportunity for the club.   Donations can be from local vendors, stores or a donation from families.   Currently, we have a Kendra Scott necklace and a soy candle.
