Hi CAPS and coaches -

Congrats on a good city meet! While there are many metrics on how you could judge something like this, I think my son summed it up well when he said "I don't think we had a single swimmer miss a race!"

I haven't seen any updates, and I wanted to send out on more ping on the final events. As of now, I do not have the pancake breakfast on the calender and I only have a place holder for the Final Celebration a week from tomorrow. Also, are we going to try to pull together a Cinzetti's time for Saturday night? This one might be as easy as saying "5:15 meet at Cinzetti's". I don't know if we have called ahead in the past (and with ~10-15 kids + parents + coaches, I suspect they would be able to fit us in. :-)

I believe we would need to get something to the coaches tonight if we wanted to get this in their 2nd to last email of the season.

If we have something after that, I can send out team e-mails as I create events in the calendar.

Thanks!

John

I know that Karen has already set up two volunteers to take pictures, and they are working on a slide show for the end-of-season celebration. They may need help with the techie part of presenting it, though. They are Staci Langford and Jen Kraus.--Marlene

Several items we need to lock down so we can get details out. Sorry there is so much in this e-mail. Please let me know as it would be nice to get this done early next week so we can get up on the web site as well as get to the kids in practice.

_Ice-Cream Evening_ DONE in spite of rain :-)
I just got a "event" out for the sunday night next Wednesday, please let me know if there is any problem with the date and time and I can change it. I hope my location of behind the baseball diamond works for everyone.

_Practice for __Last Week_ Set for 8-9 Mon-Thu
What is the plan for practices? In the past we have combined practice times (since we generally end up with 10-20 kids unless we have many kids want to swim even though they may not go to state). We could do one practice and do only one session if there aren't to many kids. Coaches, this feels like a wet issue, so I expect we will go with whatever you would prefer. (Your High School group might also like moving their start time back a bit. :-))

_Pancake Breakfast
_Date:    Thursday, July 24th
Time:    ?? After practice, 9-10

Also, we need owners for:
- Griddles?  (Heidi has committed one)
- Plates, knives, forks
- Batter
- Syrup, butter
- ???

_Banquet
_I put in a place holder on the 28th, but it is hollow (and I haven't blasted this to the team.
Time:        ?? 6:00?  6:30?  60/90/120 minutes long?
Location:    ?? Pool
Potluck: ?? Session 1 bring a main dish, Session 2 bring side or dessert??

Also, do we have owners for:
- Confirming pool?  (Dan?)

I know we are asking for volunteers. I haven't checked if those slots are filled yet. If we have our two planners, they might be able to give me our 1st pass thoughts. History has ranged this from relatively simple to over the top. I suspect we will all shade to the simpler side. I'm not sure if we should look for volunteers to do pictures into a slide show? (Takes some AV setup, etc). Often fun but not necessary.

Sincerely, John
