USC News and Notes: June 14
Swim Families,
We are looking forward to seeing you at our Orange and White Meet tomorrow night and then for our season-opener on Friday night versus the Lenoir City Bettas! If you have not signed up yet, please be sure that you do so! Also, there are a number of worker shifts still available. Parents, we need you for those.
If you have any questions regarding sign-ups, please refer to Cary's email from earlier today.
Thank you, again, to all the parents who volunteered for our Board and for other important jobs for our team. Be on the lookout for more information regarding meetings, etc.
Here are a few reminders….
INTRASQUAD ORANGE AND WHITE MEET
We will hold our Orange and White Meet TOMORROW (Tuesday, June 15 at 7:00). This will be a great opportunity for our younger swimmers to experience a "meet" prior to our first dual meet. It will also give our parents a chance to try the different jobs that we will use this year in our meets. We will be evaluating our equipment, making sure we have plenty of supplies, and confirming that everything is in working order. The time will be abbreviated, and we should finish by 9:00 pm.
Karen Ems and the Concessions Crew will have concessions for sale tomorrow night. Please be sure to bring cash with you to the Orange and White Meet if you want concessions.
ALSO, Karen and the Concessions Crew will be setting up for the home-opener on Friday. Prior to the meet, they will be taking orders for Chick-fil-a sandwiches. Make sure to order yours and support our team through the purchase of concessions.
