Swim a thon

Hello FAST families,

First of all I would like to extend a big thank you to all the swimmers and their parents who attended our annual Swim-a-thon. It was great to see so many families participating in this event.

 

This year's Swim-a-thon was a huge success. The swimmers raised close to $8500. Everyone contributed to this total, We had 39 swimmers in the pool doing up to 200 laps each.

Our top fundraisers for this year's event were as follows:

1. Alexie Sanford (AG3) who won a Sony 32" Flat Screen TV (raised $1084.75?)

2. Kelsea Vessey (AG3) who won a Flip Video Camcorder (raised $1062.51)

3. Alexia Normand (AG2) who won an I-pod Touch (raised $810.00)

Wow! Sincere congratulations girls, the prizes were well deserved!  Thanks to all the swimmers that raised money for our club. Your hard work benefits you and everyone at our club.

Special thanks go to Micheline Joyce who helped us with ideas and securing the prizes and to Mike Joyce of Barwise Realty for the donation of the Flip Video Camcorder.

We would like to thank all the families for bringing the snacks for the swimmers to enjoy after their swim. The left over juice boxes will be saved and used in the Canteen at our upcoming FAST Invitational Meet. We tried to return the rest of the food to families who brought various items but there was still a lot left.  This was offered to the Synchro swimmers who had a practise after our event.  I have still have some Gladware at my house that had veggies in it.  If you want to claim it, please e-mail me at penney@nbnet.nb.ca and I will arrange to get it to you.

We would also like to thank our head coach Marta and all the assistant coaches for coming out to help make the Swim-a-thon a great success.

Way to go FAST!

Please submit one cheque to FAST for the amount of money that was raised less the $60 that you have already paid at registration.  So if you have raised $250, please submit a cheque for $190 to FAST.  I will be on deck on Sunday collecting all the pledge sheets and cheques. Please do not submit cash.

I am looking forward to seeing all of you on Sunday!
