Good evening,

I have volunteer opportunities for you! It takes the whole team to have a successful summer and here are positions in order of importance.

1. Stroke and turn judges
   We only have 1 as of today! We really need 4-5 stroke and turn judges. It takes 2 hours to complete a class and then you get the best position on deck to watch your swimmers. If we do not have judges, we forfeit the meet. This is a very important position! You do not have to be perfect, we just need someone watching.
2. Pancake cookers and servers
   Our wonderful concessions coordinator (Jeanann) is looking to retire. She has been a staple on our team for many years. The first thing she needs is for someone to take over the pancakes (this year). She will train you, and we need volunteers for Friday morning or the swimmers won’t get pancakes. I do not want to be around if the swimmers find out they aren’t getting pancakes - that might be a scene from a horror movie!
3. Concessions coordinator
   As mentioned above, Jeanann is going to finish this season as our concessions coordinator, but she would love to train the next person willing to take the time to learn this position. Some of the tasks are creating the list of food items that families bring to meets, purchasing food (can be shared with the swim team directors), and running the stand at the meets. Lots of you wonderful parents have worked the concession stand in the past, so you know how important it is. Both our team and the visiting team depend on it for food and it helps defer swim team costs.
4. Swim team director
   I have one daughter graduating this year and one who might have 2 years left swimming. So we are looking for someone who is interested in learning the behind the scenes work that it takes to make the team run. Examples of what we do are: set up registration and swim meets in Swimtopia, ask for volunteers, represent the team at CMSL (our league) meetings, keep track of finances, support the coaches, and much more. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or want to discuss the role.

If you are new to the team, welcome! Next week, I will include more information for you to help you get acclimated to how we do things.

I will send out information about time trials and pictures next week.

Go Stingrays!
