Fundraising at the Middle School Meet


Happy Fall, Swim Families!
The Lady Eagles swim team had been provided with a great fundraising opportunity this year. We will be providing concessions for the middle school swim meet on Saturday, November 13.  The meet usually runs from 9-12 at Ottawa Hills High School. Last year, there were up to 500 fans and swimmers in the pool area, providing a great opportunity for us to supply water, drinks and snacks to everyone.  The best way for us to raise the money is with donations from families. We can purchase some items, but then we would have much less profit. If every family could provide a few things for us to sell that would be great. We will also need some of the girls to work that morning, either all or part of it.  Items that would be great include:
  • Baked goods packaged individually
  • Bagels
  • Fruit
  • Water
  • Sports drinks (propel, gatorade, Vitamin Water)
  • Pop
  • Candies ( non melting would be the best, but we will take any)
  • Other snacks
If you would be willing to provide any of these, please send them with your swimmer to practice anytime between now and the meet. (Unless, of course, you are making baked goods) Megan Schroder will take them home.  We will also need many coolers and ice. Please email Jennifer Schroder with questions or if you are willing to help out.  (jennschroder@gmail.com)  If our team cannot provide enough volunteers or concession items, we will open this up to the boys team, but them we will have to split our earnings. We would like to be able to help defray expenses for the state team and the team party.
