Team Social Dues & Meal Sign Ups

TEAM SOCIAL DUES

Thanks to all of you who have already contributed to the team social fund. Each swimmer and diver needs to contribute $20 to this fund, which helps our team with things like Senior Night, paper products for all home meets, and certain social events. If you have not turned in your money yet, please bring cash or, better yet, a check made out to GRCH to Megan Schroder. Thanks to much! Go Eagles!

MEAL SIGN UP

Please remember that after home swim meets, we provide a meal for both teams. Next week Tuesday, October 4, is our next opportunity. Please check to make sure that your name is included AT LEAST THREE TIMES among the three meals. We still have openings available- some for next week. If you are a parent of a swimmer of diver, please make sure that you have signed up. We really need help to make these meals successful! The girls all appreciate a good, hot meal after their meets. Thanks! If you would like to fill in an open spot, or have any questions, please contact Jennifer Schroder at jennschroder@gmail.com or 616-262-1518.

Concessions:

Swimming families: Please remember that this Friday night, many of you are scheduled in concessions at the football stadium. We need only one parent to help out, but occasionally have extra need, so if some want to stop by and check that would be great. Time listed was 6:30 pm, but we have had a recent request to come at 6 if possible (right after the Eagle Walk). Thank for all of your help! This is not only a great fund raiser for Eagle Athletics, but also a great way to meet other parents that you may be sitting with in the stands!

Meet Food:

Thanks for all of the help both serving and bringing food last night for our hungry swimmers and coaches! Everyone was well-fed! The food sign ups will be updated in a few days, so please check to see if you can fill an open spot or are willing to help with the set up/ service/ clean up. Email Jennschroder@gmail.com if you would like to volunteer!

Duck Drop/ Chuck a Duck:

What a great success on our first night! We raised $70! If you have anything that you would be willing to donate or can get a business to donate for prizes, that would be fantastic (current prizes available- "C" stadium cushion, Jet's pizza certificates, Eagles Nest Shirts, Sports keychains, Lake is Good Shirts). We hope to sell even more ducks and award more prizes next time. This will be held at EVERY home swim meet this year. Thanks for all of the support!

A note about meals for home swim meets

Greetings parents of swimmers and divers! As part of the meet tradition, teams meet for a meal after each meet. The home team coordinates and provides these meals. We have four home meets to provide meals for this year. Many of you signed up at the Holland Christian meet already. If so, this is a reminder for you. If you have not signed up, please send and email to jennschroder@gmail.com to fill in somewhere. Please sign up for at least THREE spots. Each meal has a team mom as coordinator, but if you would be willing to help set up/serve/clean up on a night, that would be great. You may also send an email about that. Some tips about bringing in food: Meals are served in the classroom just outside of the pool entrances. (Between the bathrooms, facing the old gym) Typically, things are brought in at the beginning of the meet, but if not then, at least by the end of diving. Coolers are not provided, please bring milk/drinks in coolers if possible. Serving utensils are also not provided. If you have something that needs utensils, please bring those as well. Please label anything that is not disposable. If you are doing the baked potato meal, parents from the past have discovered that baking the potatoes, wrapping them in foil, and placing them in coolers actually works very well to keep them hot. Thanks for all your help! The girls have had a great start to the season. Thanks coaches, and GO EAGLES! The list of meals and who has signed up will be up on the right hand side panel shortly!

Fall is here!
