  1. Stroke Clinics are off and running. Tonight’s clinic will cover Breaststroke Underwater Pills. Tonight we are the DT Y from 7-8:30pm.  All Silver and Gold swimmers are welcome to attend including our potential Silver Swimmers.  Check the clinic for remaining clinic dates and subjects.  I also invite all Silver and Gold swimmers to attend the workouts held on Tuesday and Friday afternoons at the DT Y from 3:45-5:30pm. Check the calendar for these workouts. There will be no practices on October 10 & 11.  The first day of practices for the 2013-2014 season start on October 14.
  2. The all-parent meeting is next Tuesday evening, October 1, 6:15-8:00pm.  A parent from all returning families must attend the meeting.  Practice grouping will be gone over for this 2012-2013 season. The meeting is at St. Mary’s Roller rink (645 S Irviwn) so that the kids may skate while we are having the meeting.  The social committee is still in need of a few volunteers to supervise the kids while they are skating.  They also would like some families to bring some snacks for the kids.  If you can help out or bring some snacks please contact Heidi Socha via e-mail [email protected]. All registration forms are on the website. I will not be giving any of these out at the meeting.  Please use the registration forms on the website and type directly into the forms and then print it.  All forms are due by October 31 for all team members. All forms are under the documents tab on the website. Please remember to read over all the concussion information carefully before parent and swimmer sign this off. 
  3. We have still have 28 families that have not taken care of Escrow Balances yet. Thank you to the 4 families that took care of this from my note in last week’s newsletter.  I have asked that all these balances be taken care of a number of times and multiple invoices have been e-mailed. 

Until these past Escrow balances are taken care of your swimmer(s) will not be allowed to start swim practices beginning October 14. All families with balances were sent an e-mail invoice today. You can always check your balances under My Account/$My Invoice/Payment on the website.

 Thank you to the many GBY families that keep up with their escrow accounts and put monies in their accounts before charges occur.  This is what is going to be expected now of all GBY families.  No families swimmers with a balance will be entered into any meet unless monies are in your escrow account to cover the meet costs for your swimmers.  You can pay the balance by phone or drop off or mail the payment at the DT Y front desk.  .  Again, no families swimmers with a balance will be entered into any meet unless monies are in your escrow account to cover the meet costs for your swimmers.

When the clinics conclude in early October I will post all of those charges.  Clinics and year round workouts are $5.00 each unless built into last season’s tuition. Please ensure that you have all monies in your accounts to cover these charges also prior to October 7.  All families should keep a minimum of $80.00 in their accounts at all times.  Those families with multiple swimmers may need to have more in their accounts.

  1. We have a few open positions on the Parent Advisory Committee to fill.  1) We are in need of a parent to take over Food Service for our swim meets.  2) We also are in need of a parent to take over the Public Relations committee. 3) We are in need of a parent to take over the Senior/National Team committee.  Contact me or a Parent Committee member if interested or have any questions.  We will talk about these open positions at the All-Parent Meeting but if anyone has interest please contact me.
