Citrus Update..

Hi Everyone,

 

I am looking for volunteers to help unload the citrus truck on Thursday afternoon.  The truck will be there around 3:30.  If you are participating in this fundraiser we would appreciate any help that you can give.  Many hands make light work.  Also if anyone has a wheeled dolly to help move the oranges and grapefruit to the appropriate place from the truck, it would be much appreciated.  

 

Thank you,

We will need some help unloading the truck on Thursday December 2.  It will be arriving between 3:30 – 4:00pm at Atcan storage.  If you have a wheeled dolly to help convey the citrus to the storage please bring it with you. It doesn't usually take very long so any help is appreciated.

Thank you to all our officials

Because of the hard work of all our officials and volunteers, the FAST invitational was a great success!

I want to extend a huge thank you to all the FAST parents who  came out for any of the four sessions. You are responsible for making this a great meet.

Thanks to Ivana and the hospitality and canteen volunteers.
Preparations for the hospitality and canteen started months ago.  And this also involved showing up early and staying late for every session. Thanks for keeping all the volunteers and swimmers happy for the long sessions.

Thanks to all our timers
The sessions for this meet were unusually long because of the number of swimmers we had.  This made the job of the timers especially hard.   Our fist time volunteers and well as our grizzled veteran volunteers did an amazing job despite the heat, the noise and the long sessions.  The meet really could not run without your help.

Thanks to our other officials.
I want to thank our higher level officials for their commitment to FAST team.  These officials have given up time to obtain their officiating levels and volunteer  at every one of our meets ( and at the UNB meets).  FAST would be required to bring in officials at a cost if we did not have parents who offer to fill this need. These are FAST parents that are quick to sign up to help and  generally help for all four sessions of the meet.

Set up and Take down Volunteers
This meet we had the fastest and most efficient set-up and take-down of any meet I have ever seen!  I know from experience it can be a long and lonely job setting up  and taking down all those chairs, putting away all the lane ropes and picking up all the garbage after the meet.  After a long weekend meet, help with the take down is really appreciated.  Thanks again!

Very Special Thanks to Patti Ramsey , Officials co-ordinator and Diane Foreman, computer operator.
The successful running of a meet is due in large measure to the work of the officials co-ordinator and the computer operator.  Patti and Diane have been working for weeks to ensure that everything and everyone was in place to ensure the smooth running of our meet. All the work paid off because the meet ran without a hitch!  A real accomplishment for such a large meet. Thanks very much.

One final thank you to our FAST coaches Marta and Alex.  on behalf of the FAST parents and swimmers, thanks to Marta and Alex for helping our kids through a long hard weekend.

Great job everybody!
Pat K

When I sized the swimmers all ordered adult except Sarah Wood, Noah, Eric and Charles. The youth jackets are $40 plus $3 if you want your last name. The adult jackets are $50 plus names ($53).

If you are planning on ordering, please reply to this email if you have not already done so...If you have any questions, please feel free to email as well....

Thanks,
Heather

Hi Folks,

We are very excited to finally be ready to order our East Coast Track Jackets. Marta spoke about our new incentive program at her Parent meetings at the beginning of the year. We are offering really cool Adidas Track Jackets in Red and Black for all swimmers who had achieved their current East Coast Times. Swimmers have until the end of this weekend's meet to get their times. (these Standards are available on our at swimmingfast.com or by pasting the swim nb link: http://www.swimnb.ca/EastCoast2010-2011.pdf).

We sized a number of our swimmers on deck yesterday. I will have the jackets on Thursday as well all w/e, if your child still needs to be sized.

The jackets are $40 for youth sizes and $50 for the women and men sizes. This price includes the Fast logo on the back of the neck. If you wish to include your swimmer's last name on front for an additional $3, please indicate that with your order.

Unfortunately, only swimmers with their East Coast times will be allowed  to order the jackets. All orders must be received by Tuesday of next week. I need to place the order on Friday. Our timing of ordering the jackets this early is based on Adidas availability to order them from Adidas. We will make every attempt to order more in the new year, however it will entirely depend on Adidas availability.

The following swimmers currently have their East Coast Times:
Lauren Adam
Gabriella Belsh
Teague Foreman
Alex Horwood
Noah Horwood
Sarah Jones
Mary Ketterling
Alexia Normand
Jon Reid
Cassidy Richards
Katarina Schatz
Jordana Stanford
Eden Vanderlaan
Sarah Wood

I will update the list Sunday night or Monday am after this weekend's meet.

To order, please reply to this email, and provide a cheque to me by Tuesday's afternoon practice on November 23rd. I will confirm your child's size by email.

Thanks,
Heather

I should have those results for you on Monday. Our computer operator will be able to provide me with the results at the end of the weekend instead of having to wait for Swim Canada to post them online..

Thanks in advance,
Heather Horwood

Note to all Officials and Timers

.  

A REMINDER TO ALL OFFICIALS TO PLEASE SIGN IN AT LEAST 45 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE START OF THE SESSION.  

All officials are asked to go to the officials room at least 45 minutes prior to the start of the session and sign in with the officials coordinator.  The officials room is room A116.  Direction to the room will be well marked.  This really helps us out and keeps the confusion and stress to a minimum.

Thanks to all the FAST parents who have volunteered to officiate at our meet this weekend.   Your time is very much appreciated.  

We are still short a few spots for the first session, so please let Patti know if you can help out. 

Thanks

Pat K

SET UP AND TAKE DOWN

I will be setting up the deck on Friday (5:30 - 6:30)pm during the FAST AG2 and AG3 practice.  I would really appreciate it if any parents in the stands at that time would consider coming on deck to help me unstack the chairs and tables etc. ( it should take about 15- 30 minutes)

The take down happens right after the meet on Sunday,  I would be grateful to any parents/swimmers  that can see it in their hearts to stay for a few minutes after the meet (15 minutes) to help me stack the chairs and put away the lane ropes.

Thanks

East Coast Jackets

Hi Folks,

We are very excited to finally be ready to order our East Coast Track Jackets. Marta spoke about our new incentive program at her Parent meetings at the beginning of the year. We are offering really cool Adidas Track Jackets in Red and Black for all swimmers who had achieved their current East Coast Times. Swimmers have until the end of this weekend's meet to get their times. (these Standards are available on our at swimmingfast.com or by pasting the swim nb link: http://www.swimnb.ca/EastCoast2010-2011.pdf).

We sized a number of our swimmers on deck yesterday. I will have the jackets on Thursday as well all w/e, if your child still needs to be sized.

The jackets are $40 for youth sizes and $50 for the women and men sizes. This price includes the Fast logo on the back of the neck. If you wish to include your swimmer's last name on front for an additional $3, please indicate that with your order.

Unfortunately, only swimmers with their East Coast times will be allowed  to order the jackets. All orders must be received by Tuesday of next week. I need to place the order on Friday. Our timing of ordering the jackets this early is based on Adidas availability to order them from Adidas. We will make every attempt to order more in the new year, however it will entirely depend on Adidas availability.

The following swimmers currently have their East Coast Times:
Lauren Adam
Gabriella Belsh
Teague Foreman
Alex Horwood
Noah Horwood
Sarah Jones
Mary Ketterling
Alexia Normand
Jon Reid
Cassidy Richards
Katarina Schatz
Jordana Stanford
Eden Vanderlaan
Sarah Wood

I will update the list Sunday night or Monday am after this weekend's meet.

To order, please reply to this email, and provide a cheque to me by Tuesday's afternoon practice on November 23rd. I will confirm your child's size by email.

Thanks,
Heather
