Meet Thursday cancelled & Friday practice

• Thursday we will have practice from 6-8pm. Byron Center is looking to host us another date due to the fact their pool dehumidifier is broken and their pool deck would be an "oven".

Concussion form update

A reminder to have your athlete as well as a guardian complete the concussion form by this Friday! A note from the company that is in charge of the concussion program:

Our program will work on Macs but you may have to adjust a few things on your computer first. It appears that the Macs have a widespread issue with the computers permissions. The corrupted permissions cause our app to malfunction in many different ways depending on the corruption. Anyone using a Mac, I would highly recommend providing them these instructions. 

Here are the steps to correct the corrupted permissions:

1. Use Software Update to install all updates until it reports "Your Software is Up To Date".
2. Open the Get Info window for the account's Home folder: In Finder, select Go > Home; then In Finder, select File > Get Info
3. If needed, click the disclosure triangle to expand the "Sharing & Permissions:" section of the Get Info window.
4. If needed, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the Get Info window, then enter your admin user name and password and click OK.
5. From the Action menu () at the bottom of the Get Info window, choose "Apply to enclosed items…"
6. Click OK in the confirmation sheet.
7. Wait for the process to complete.

Please let me know if this works for you or if you have any other questions.

Home Meet Meals

A note from Jennifer Schroder: 

Thanks for being willing to help with meals! Hopefully by now you have received the invite from Sign Up Genius. A few things I forgot to mention. If everyone could sign up for three slots, that should fill us up.

Also, we have swimmers with nut allergies. Please make sure that all cookies and bars, salads, and anything else are nut free. We often have swimmers from other teams that appreciate this also. In addition, when sending cookies or bars, please label what type they are in case there are other allergies.

 If you sign up to provide taco meat, we have had some sensitivities from kids with nut allergies, and also others, with the prepared taco meat from Gordon foods. If you could avoid that as well.

 We  have plugs available in our room for crock pots to be plugged in, but no access to microwaves or refrigerators.

Thank you! Please address any questions about meals to Jennifer Schroder
