WELCH TEAM update: PANCAKE BREAKFAST & SPRA MEET for Thursday, 7/25


7/25 (THUR) Pancake Breakfast for Welch swimmers after each age group's morning swim practice
*Bring your own drink.  We will provide the pancakes, butter, syrup, plates, cutlery, & napkins.*
8:00 AM ages 13-18  (volunteer time 7:40 to 8:25)
9:00 AM ages 9-12  (volunteer time 8:40 to 9:25)
9:45 AM ages 5-8  (volunteer time 9:25 to 10:05)

Parent volunteers are needed to assist with this activity.  We need six (6) griddles and spatulas.  If you have a griddle/spatula to loan, let me know directly - I will be at each morning's practice this week.  You can bring your griddle/spatula to the pool ahead of time where we can store them in the team's storage room.  Please place your name on masking tape and attach to your griddle and spatula. We added a Sign Up Genius link for those that wish to help and/or loan equipment for Thursday, but are unable to sign up at the pool Mon-Wed morning.

A swim meet requires many volunteers in order to run efficiently and effectively.  Each participating team is required to provide those volunteer positions so that the meet can start on time, run smoothly, and finish on time.  The Welch Swim Team is comprised of at least 200 swimmers, we need more of you to actively participate at CPSL meets.  We hope that you will consider this request and volunteer.  Volunteer position descriptions can be found by clicking the Volunteer Positions tab located at the top of our blog page.
