No B Meet on Wednesday but Please Read
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is no B Meet on Wednesday due to the July 4
holiday. But if you have a child who swims in B Meets,
please read on for important information.
Running a swim meet takes a lot of manpower. Please note
that we have not had enough parent participation this year
in the B Meets, making the meets more hectic than necessary.
There are many jobs to staff each meet, including timers,
ribbon writers and clerk of course. Every swimmer is
expected to have one parent to assist in the meet, or they
will not be allowed to swim.
Also, please do not drop off your child at a meet! If you
are not able to stay with your swimmer or diver, you must
make arrangements with another parent to chaperone your
child.
With everyone helping out, the B Meets will go more
smoothly -- and more quickly!

This coming Friday, June 29th, we will have our
usual pep rally and team dinner after practice at 5 PM.
This week's dinner is sponsored by the parents of 11-12
yr olds. WE NEED EVERY ONE WITH A CHILD IN THIS AGE
GROUP TO PARTICIPATE! Please see below and sign up
for a food item to bring. Food should be ready to serve
and the rally starts promptly at 5 PM.
In anticipation of the 4th of July, this Friday's theme
is Patriotic. Get out your red, white and blue and get
ready for fun! The kids will have dinner, make posters
and participate in fun games. Some ideas are for a
greased watermelon, capture the flag or other games. All
ideas are welcome!
As the pool will be closed for a couple of days for
repairs, we thought it would be a good idea for the meal
sign up to start via e- mail. Please contact Mary
Joaquin at mjoaquin@bellatlantic.net or (202)363- 4524.
Thanks so much for your help. The children really enjoy
these events and they add so much to the community
spirit at Seven Locks.
Food items to contribute:
4 people to bring warm pasta dishes
note: pasta dishes can be the usual ziti type fare or
things like mac and cheese, pasta and pesto etc. Nothing
too fancy!
2 people for green salads with a dressing to add
2 people for fruit salads
3 people for chocolate chip cookies or brownies (24)
3 people to bring rolls - the ones brought last week
were a big hit - does anyone know what they were? I
never saw them!
ice
bottled waters
Let us know how you can help and we look forward to
seeing you and your swimmer/diver!
