Dear VJO Swimmers and Parents,
Upcoming
Events:
WE NEED MORE
VOLUNTEERS!
Parent we are severely short on volunteers for our meet this
weekend. We only have 2 snack bar volunteers for the
Sunday portion of the meet. We will not be able to
run a snack bar on Sunday without more volunteers. The snack
bar is where our team is able to make money from putting on a
meet. It would be horrible for our team to lose money because
we didn’t have enough volunteers.
How to Sign-up to
Volunteer:
Experience is not needed! The
volunteer sign-up sheets for the meet are posted on clip boards in
the shark tank. All you need to do is find an area that looks
interesting to you and sign up for at least 2 seasons (4
hours)
Do All Families Need to
Volunteer?
Yes! All VJO families
are expected to volunteer at home meets. In order
for our team to host meets at our pool we need everyone at the meet
helping out. It is only fair for everyone to share in the
work. We are now going to start tracking families volunteer
hours.
