Nothing works up a good appetite better than a morning swim or being a Team Parent Meet Volunteer. So Welch Swim Team Swimmers and Parents that are going to Saturday (8/02) morning's CHAMPS 10 & Under Meet at Penns Valley - The Penns Valley Swim Team will have breakfast available from their concession stand. I included their information below to whet your appetites. Give them a try and see if the Penns Valley group has what it takes to dethrone the league's more famous Swamp Shack. ;-)
Other CHAMPS 10 & Under Meet items:I'd like to give THREE CHEERS for BREKKIE at1.) You'll be surprised how much of what we do is local - - it is important to people in our community to use local resources as often and in as many ways as possible! You may very well be eating greens that were grown in someone's garden SPECIFICALLY for this event. You could be enjoying an egg from a chicken who enjoys a beautiful life of grass and bugs and sunshine IN beautiful Penns Valley.
Penns Valley!
2.) You'll be surprised at the quality and variety of truly healthy items, that look good and taste even better! We want you and your swimmers to have a variety of great choices - - and our CHAMPS team has been planning this brekkie for WEEKS.
3.) Unlike some teams, Penns Valley Swim Team (and our pool) get NO municipal funding. Concession stand sales are THE major part of our team's ability to purchase and update equipment that benefits all the swimmers in our league (we have our eyes on NEW LANE LINES for 2014 - - and if you've never priced 'em out, you should).
We hope you'll come ready to enjoy a lovely breakfast at Che' Penguin on Saturday morning! We appreciate your patronage! We look forward to great swims from the wonderful youngsters in this learning league! THANK YOU in advance!
Warmly,
The Penns Valley CHAMPS Committee
