Hi CAPS, I wanted to touch base with you prior to sending out an email this weekend regarding the coach gifts. My initial thinking is to have a collection envelope available at the front desk or picnic table area next week that I can oversee. In the past we have had people decide themselves what contribution amount makes sense for their family. I could also invite any other parents to assist with this process or share any gift ideas. I've been thinking it might be fun to have purple "coach" pool chairs for each of them. I'm open to any input so please share your great thoughts! FYI - I called La Quinta Inn in Golden tonight and explained the room deal Carol had set aside for our swimmers going to State. I'm happy to report that they were willing to re-activate the $89 arrangement made with Carol. If anyone else is interested here is the information: (303) 279 - 5565 * press option #6 for the front desk Renée Ostergren ~ enjoy the now ~
