Dear Penguins and Parents:

CHAMPS Food Pre-order: DUE JULY 1, 2023

CHAMPS is a LONG day.  Make lunch easy by pre-ordering a Mr. Pickles lunch. As of now this will be the only meal that is guaranteed at CHAMPS. There will also be a KONA ICE truck and they are working on another dessert truck. We may be able to also order at the food windows at the aquatic center but the service can take a long time. Mr. Pickles is also donating 10% back to the league!

• Pre-orders are due Saturday, July 1st. 

Please fill out the google form.  Add up your total and prepay via zelle to treasurer@swimplac.org with CHAMPS FOOD in the comments or via check made out to LPAC and CHAMPS FOOD in the memo. Please place check in treasurer file folder.
