** As in the previous two home meets, we need all hands on deck to make our home meets run smoothly and successfully!
There are MANY openings for this Saturday's meet. This is our final home meet of the 2017 season! Now that our swimmers have competed in three meets and are experts on the pool deck, we need
ALL families to volunteer. Veteran parents are always willing and happy to help guide you through the morning if you have not yet volunteered. Here's your chance to dive in, help out the team, and have fun!!

Concessions at home meets are an important fundraiser for our team. We ask that each swimmer contribute. Please bring items to concession stand on Saturday morning when you arrive for warm ups:
8 & under: fresh fruit ( grapes, melon, berries or bananas) (If you bring grapes, melon or berries we will have small compostable bowls we can use to sell them in - Zero Waste. Please bring fruit in a big bowl from home, these have been selling great!.) We don't need cuties or applesauce(have leftovers)
9-10's: Donuts, large bakery muffins or bagels.
11-12's: water
13-14's: Gatorade and bags of ice

*** Volunteering at All-City ***
Every team in the All-City League is required to provide a handful of Timers and Clerk of Course volunteers for the big meet. MO families have filled some positions, but many remain open - especially Saturday shifts. Remember, MO will be asking for volunteer help next year, so we want to show our support and willingness to help out at Maple Bluff.
Please consider picking up one of these shifts on behalf of MO (and get a preferred parking pass). Extended family members can pick up shifts, too - it doesn't have to be parents of swimmers.
Click here to sign up - there are two tabs at the top - one for Clerk of Course, one for Timing. All teams are required to have spots filled by June 30th (that's this week!)!
*** Personalized Ground Graphics ***
Check out this awesome way to celebrate your swimmer's participation in the All City Swim Meet! Adorable flip-flop design including your kiddo's name. Graphics will be placed along the entrance to the pool during the meet - afterward the meet you can take it home with you! Click here to order yours today! Order deadline is July 5! Five dollars of your purchase goes to Second Harvest.
*** Make A Splash - Sponsor A Race! ***
Sponsor a preliminary or a final race event in your family or business name. Not only will you get special recognition in the event program, but you will also receive 2 passes for premium viewing the day of your sponsored race from the Maple Bluff Terrace. Click here to learn more!
