SPECIAL OLYMPICS
The
NOVAQUATICS look forward to this coming spring in which
they will work with the local organizing committee for
the Special Olympics program, as the annual multi-sport event comes
to Irvine and Heritage Park.
The
event is tentatively planned for May and the
NOVAQUATICS program has been asked to work with the
organizing committee and the City of Irvine to operate the swimming
competition to be held at the Woollett Aquatics
Center.
In an effort to
get our swimmers involved in this great opportunity, any
NOVA member in high school that is interested in
participating in the meet should sign up through the website via
the ’Meet & Event Info’ Tab. This is a good
opportunity to be involved in community service and to enhance the
resume.
VOLUNTEER HOURS
We want to thank everyone who did
such a great job volunteering over the past weekend to make the
annual NOVA Back-to-School meet such a success. While we
certainly realize that we require families to "volunteer", we want
everyone to understand how valuable your role is in making these
events successful.
We also want to remind all
families that volunteer hours are always registered accurately -
but there is sometimes a delay in when they are recorded on the
website. When checking your hours on the website, you should note
if the volunteer hours reflect the most recent event - sometimes
there is a delay in getting this information updated. Everyone has
to realize that we have one administrator working on this with
about 600 families to account for - so it is a very time-consuming
effort.
Again thanks for all your help in
making NOVAS the great program that it is.
