FAST Citrus & Cookie Dough Campaign: THANK YOU and COOKIE DOUGH FOR SALE

 

All FAST Participating Families,

 

Thank you for your participation in FAST's annual Citrus and Cookie Dough Fundraising Campaign. The campaign was very successful and customers are very pleased with their received product.

 

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Michel Losier, Ron Richards and all the volunteers who helped unload the product from the trucks. In addition, thank you for your efforts and your customers' efforts to make Saturday's Pick-Up Day go exceptionally well.

 

We have several pails of cookie dough for sale. We must purchase the cookie dough in boxes of 6 and as a result, we usually have a few extra pails remaining once we satisfy our customer orders:

Double Chocolate – 4 pails

Shortbread – 1 pail

Oatmeal Raisin – 4 pails

Candy – 2 pails

The cost is $12/pail. Please contact Ron Richards at 459-6386, if you can help us out.

 

Once again, thank you and we look forward to your participation again next year.

 

Best Regards,

Diane

Practice Cancellation Plan

Hi Folks,

 

As many of you may already be aware, old man winter is starting to roar again this year. The old plan for practice cancellation coordinating with school closure will not be work for swimmers with an early morning practice. We are in the water before the School Districts have announced their plans. 

 

The plan for announcing morning practice cancellations is that Marta will post a note on the FAST website latest news section (http://frederictonaquanauts.blogspot.com/ ) before 5:30 am if the road conditions are such that she is not able to drive to the pool in the morning. As always, each parent must use their own discretion with regards to driving in inclement weather to the pool.

 

Happy Winter,

Heather

Message from FAST President

To All FAST Families;

 

I take this opportunity to commend our Head Coach Marta for preparing such an informative FAST newsletter.  I also thank Ron Richards and Sarah MacIntyre from Enbridge Gas for putting it together.

 

This newsletter is a great form of communication that will promote team spirit.  This brings it all together - it gives a better picture of the entire FAST team.  It promotes good habits such as attendance, stroke technique, nutrition, ... which are critical to success. Most importantly, swimmers at all levels are being recognized - this is exciting for the swimmers and will foster positive energy and will lead to better results.

 

After reading it myself, I felt a sense of "team".

 

Great job Coach Marta!  Thanks!

 

Michel Losier

FAST President

 

 

By the way, we raised just over $2,000 this past weekend at our Canadian Tire Fundraiser.  Thanks to all swimmers and parents who participated.  Special thanks to Ron Richards and Julie MacDonald for helping to organize the event.

 

 

Christmas Party Plans

Good Morning FAST Families,

The Christmas Breakfast is quickly approaching (Dec. 20) and there are a few things left
to do.  First, if anyone has a Karaoke machine they would be willing to bring to the
party that would be great.  Also, we need volunteers.  We need people to help set up
tables for the party and a different group for clean up afterwards.   And what would a
Christmas party be without Santa Claus?  We definitely want Santa to come, so could I
please have a volunteer to wear the Santa suit.  The requirements are minimal;  round
face, nose like a cherry and a big belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly.

Please let me know as soon as possible how you can help.

Where is the snow?

November 11th Practices Cancelled

Hi Folks,

 

Just a quick reminder. All swim practices on November 11th are cancelled. The UNB building is closed for the day.

 

Have a great weekend...

Lost Items

Hi Foks,

 

We have had a number of items go missing in the locker rooms before, during and or after practices. Coach Marta has asked that swimmers and their parents check their bags for goggles that may have been picked up by mistake. One swimmer has lost two pairs including a pink nike pair and the latest were a tinted blue rimmed pair. If any one has found these goggles, please give them to Coach Marta.

 

Lastly, it is always a good idea to use a lock with your locker and to not leave your things unattended. We share the locker room with UNB students as well as lots of other groups.

 

Thanks,

Heather

FAST Christmas Party

Hello FAST Families,

The weather is getting cold and winter is approaching, so it is now time to plan
our FAST Christmas Party.   This is a great chance for our swimmers and families to get
together as a group and meet other club members, as well as board members and the
coaching team outside of our pool setting.  Santa Claus will be joining us, as well,
and perhaps taking part in some Karaoke with the kids.

We have booked the Willie O'Ree Community Room for Saturday morning December 20,
from 9:00am 'til noon.  We have decided on a pot luck breakfast/brunch with each group
bringing one part of the meal (see below).  The cost will be $5.00 for a parent and
one swimmer or $10.00 for three or more.  This will pay for the room rental and all
money left will go to a charity, such as the Food Bank or Soup Kitchen, perhaps for the
purchase of turkeys and other Christmas items.  We are open to any suggestions.

Each swimmer is asked to bring the following to contribute to the meal:

Fishes - juice/juice boxes and granola bars
Fishes Advance - yogurt and cream cheese
Novice 2 - bagels and muffins
Novice 1 - croissants and sweet breads
AG3 - fruit/fruit trays
AG2,AG1 and National - Breakfast casseroles

This will definitely be a fun party for everyone and a great team building event.

Please let me know by December 5, if you are coming and what you will bring.  That
way we won't have too much of one thing and not enough of another. I can be reached at
459-1974 or email emartin@unb.ca.

Thank you in advance for making this a great party and I look forward to hearing from
everyone.

Grace Martin

Time Trial November 15th

Hello FAST Families,

Next Saturday, November 15 FAST is holding a distance Time Trial. 

In order to have a successful morning this involves a lot of volunteers, such as
timers, officials and food to feed these folks.  If each group could contribute a food item, as
listed below, it would be very much appreciated.

Novice 2 - bottled water
Novice 1 - bagels and cream cheese
AG3 - muffins and croissants
AG2 - cut up fruit or fruit trays
AG1 & National - crackers and cheese

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at 459-1974 or emartin@unb.ca

Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday.

Fast Policies

Hi Folks,

 

The Fast Board has requested that all swimmers be forwarded the current policies. We are specifically directing parents to our swim fees policy. You can find this policy, updates and other information by going to:  swimmingfast.com

 

Thank you for swimming with Fast!

Clean up!!!

Swimmers,

 

Please ensure that you leave the deck pool clean after the swim meet. I have to say I was embarrassed at the mess our team left under the bleachers. This is unacceptable. Part of the responsibility as a swimmer is respecting personnel and facilities we are at the swim meets. It is your job to clean up after yourself. Make sure you do your part next time.

 

Coach Marta
