To All LVST Families:

TEAM AWARDS- If you were not able to make the awards ceremony last evening or did not receive your team award, please email Patrick Hunter at phunter@lucasvalley.net to get your award. There were several little swimmers that were moved up from swim school to the Lightning team that should have received a trophy so please make sure to let us know and we will get them their award with their name on it.

CHAMPS AWARDS- If you did not get your trophy, medal or ribbon from the meet on Saturday, please email Patrick and let him know. We will make sure you get your proper awards.

Also, if anyone is missing a ribbon from any meet this season, please email.

See you next season.

To All LVST Families:

I know we told some of you to bring bread for sandwiches but we have so much bread left over from the snack bar that we will use the hamburger buns for sandwiches and will be grilling hot dogs to serve also. If you were asked to bring cold cuts etc, please bring that for the sandwiches. But no need for bread from anyone.

Hope to see you all there.

Thanks

All sorts of important stuff going on!!
We are down to the final push to  get champs together, get the  Pancake Breakfast  done right & finally, awards night is happening on Sunday, July, 11.  Much to do , lots of fun to be had and without a doubt, so much to be thankful for.

Pancake Breakfast
Friday, July 9
We all eat pancakes on Friday  after practice – parents – we need a few more parents to manage the M&Ms, pour the syrup and make sure the little ones do not become overwhelmed in whipped cream on their pancakes.  The teenagers cook, the  rest of the team eats and we all go home with full bellies, big smiles and perhaps a headache from all the M&Ms.  It is all good!

Champs!
The meet we have been working for all season is coming on July, 10.  The swimmers are working hard and the day will be filled with best times and great swims.  I am sure every family member has a job or 2 at the meet, and special thanks to the many parents of young swimmers, competing in the morning, who are giving up their afternoon to work the meet.  We all know LVST is the smallest team in the league, we all need to pull together this day and make it happen.  We are in desperate need of clean up workers – the meet is over at roughly 6pm, please come back and help clean up – if not, those few folks who have been working since 6am will be forced to do the work – we are contracted to leave the area spotless, please come and help out when the team needs you most!!

Awards Night
July 11

Awards night is the time to relax, kick back in your favorite camp chair on the deck and let the coaches and the swimmers take over.  We will eat and enjoy the tales of success and fun the team has had over the season. Here are the details:

Start time:  5pm
Dinner: Salads & Sandwiches Pot Luck
( we need lots of sandwich stuff – take notice of the breakdown)
Family Name A -  H BRING SALADS & MUNCHIES ( Chips & stuff)

Lemonade provided
Awards & Trophies: 5:30pm
Slide show: At the end

Lots of families on the deck, bring your own chair and your own favorite bottle ( or 2!) to sip during the evening.  It is truly an evening to be proud, shed a tear and really get to know how hard these swimmers have worked during the season.

MISC.
Thank you to everyone for the hard work and efforts this season. LVST is really ‘The Little Team That Could” and we will put it all together this Saturday. Hard work is happening all over the valley in prep for this day – and it is worth every minute.  Thanks all!!
