3)      Assorted Notes

·         Parent Group committee meetingshave been moved to the first Mondays of the Month. Next meeting is Monday June 3, 2013 at 5:30pm in the 2^nd floor lobby area of the DT Y.  We will not have Parent meetings in July of August so the next would be Sept 9, 2013.

·         Please take a look at the event calendar.  Entries are open for the both FCY meets and our Friday Night 50’s meet.  Please make sure that you get entered by the deadline.

·         Gift baskets and Gift Cards are needed for our Friday Night 50’s meet.  We have drawings at the conclusion of our Friday Night 50’s meet and we need donations of “Themed” Gift Baskets and various gift cards that the swimmers in the meet would enjoy.  Please drop all items off for Coach Dave at the DT Y front desk beginning June 10.  Thanks for helping out and making this meet a great success.

·         GBY swim families have the opportunity to participate in a scrip program to help raise monies for your escrow accounts.  A power point presentation is posted on the website (under documents tab) to explain the whole program and to allow you to get involved with the Scrip program.  Thank you to the GBY Gymnastics Team for allowing us to join in with their program.

·         A reminder that all swim team members must scan their membership cards upon entry into our YMCA’s.  If you have lost your card ask the front desk and they can make a new one for you.

·         A reminder that all swim team members should be taking a soap shower before entering any YMCA pool.
