Just a few mid-week updates:
CHECK-IN TIME AT GUNDERSON: 7:30 AM
LPAC check-in this Saturday is 7:30 am at Gunderson High School. Please leave plenty of time to drive and park so you arrive on time. Check the Montevideo meet page for a map and other details.
VOLUNTEERS STILL NEEDED FOR SATURDAY
Montevideo will be running nine lanes (!) at the meet this Saturday, so we need several more timers and recorders for second shift. Also, your job assignments will be different than they are at home meets. Please be sure to check the Volunteer Assignments link on the Montevideo meet page so you know your assigned shift(s). If you don’t see your name listed and/or are available to help out with timing second shift, please email Julie Waldron (jnewcomb65@yahoo.com) ASAP. This meet should go quite a bit faster than usual, so the shifts will probably be shorter.
OOPS…WE MISSED ONE!
Apologies to Mackenzie Keslin, who was inadvertently left out of the record-breaking list in Monday’s email. Yes, she did it again — broke her own 15-18 Girls 50Y Backstroke record, with a new time of :29.94. Congratulations Mackenzie!
DON’T MISS THE BOAT!
Just another reminder…if you want to go on the raft trip July 5, you need to turn in your waiver AND payment no later than this Saturday. Forms go in the “RAFT TRIP” folder; the LPAC file box will be on the ribbon table at the Montevideo meet. Contact Chad Seps (chadseps@gmail.com or 408-887-3267) if you have any questions about the raft trip. You can download the forms from the Raft Trip page of the website.
CHAMPS FORMS DUE SATURDAY TOO
Also, don’t forget to place your orders for Champs meals and Champs ads. Forms are available on the Champs page of the website.
SOME FUN EVENTS COMING UP
Next Tuesday, July 1, will be the Ice Cream Social and Pool Party at Los Paseos Pool. This fun event is open to all penguins and their siblings. The cost is $1 for Association members and $2 for non-members. Please pay at the gate as you come in. You do not need to RSVP for this event. We do, however, need some parent helpers to scoop and serve. Contact Kris Fuss (krisnbob@fussorama.com or 408-225-8797) if you can stay and help.
Friday, July 11 will be a mini-golf outing for swimmers in the 8 & under age group. Parents are responsible for taking their kids to and from Emerald Hills Golfland at 976 Blossom Hill Rd. We’ll plan to leave from the pool right after practice is over (10:15 am). The cost is $7.99 for kids and $8.99 for adults (golf only). You can also go on the water slides, which is an additional $7.99/$8.99. You can bring your own food or purchase snacks and lunch there. Siblings are also welcome to attend. Contact Judy Seps (judyseps@yahoo.com or 408-506-3532) if you have any questions about this event.
