2000 SUMMER SEASON
 
A sincere thank you to all who made our summer meet season the success that is was.  Your contributions of recruiting or serving as a timer or official, working the after the meet party, setting up and breaking down the meets, placing an ad in the meet program, working on the meet program, supplying items for the packets, and stuffing the packets, were greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks to our summer coaching staff of Bill Tingley, Jim Luebbe, Marty O'Toole, and Mary Graves.

Team rebates for team suits purchased this summer will be distributed in October, be sure Mary has your receipt!  Team caps are now available.  Each swimmer competing in meets will receive a cap.  Additional caps may be purchased in the Lakeside Swim Shop.
 
The Master's Board of Directors are providing a "gift" to each of our active team members this Fall.  We will purchase black Speedo Deck Shorts with our new team logo embroidered on the left leg.  Please complete the attached form with your choice of size short.   If you are unsure of your size, go to Pannell Swim Shop in Middletown and try on a pair.  We need to get the form back by mid October in order to place the order and have them ready for our upcoming meets!
