News & Notes for the week of November 8, 2010

*There will be a Parent Meeting in the upstairs Conference Room this coming Sunday, November 14, at 3:00 p.m. Parents from all groups are encourage to attend; I'll be going over what to expect at our meets- things like warmup, duration, types of meets, event selection, and perhaps most importantly, the meet entry procedure. If you have any questions, this will be a great opportunity to come by and ask me!

*Senior workout (Platinum & Gold) on Friday of this week (November 12), will be in the morning (5:30-7:00 a.m.). There won't be any afternoon workout for the Platinum, Gold or Silver groups on Friday Afternoon, November 12.

*Holiday workout schedule: The Platinum & Gold groups will have workout from 8-10 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

*REPORT CARDS: all student-athletes are reminded to bring in their report cards so I can see how you're doing in school. Remember, the "student" always come first in "student-athlete," and I want to make sure everybody is working up to their ability in school- it's the most important thing you can do for yourself!

*GBSA MEET, November 19-21: we have twelve student-athletes swimming in the meet up in Catonsville in two weeks. We'll race on Saturday and Sunday only (NOBODY races on Friday, November 19); for anybody who races both days at the meet, you won't have workout on Monday, November 22. For the parents, once we iron out the entry fee procedure, we'll let you know who to make your check out to. This will be one of the topics covered in Sunday's meeting.

*Lastly, I've heard that several people have had some difficulty reaching me by email. My correct email address is: erikcollins19@gmail.com - I'm usually able to respond within a day, so if you've emailed me and never heard back, odds are I never received your email. So please check the address you used, and then go ahead and try emailing me again!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing all the parents on Sunday, November 14th at 3:00 p.m.!
