Annual General Meeting

Hello Dolphin Parents:

Just a friendly reminder that the SDSC Annual General Meeting is scheduled for this coming Monday, June 22nd between 6-6:30 pm at the Credit Union Place.
Part of the agenda will include nominations for open executive positions and filling necessary volunteer rolls to ensure our club runs effectively next year. At present, I have names for all executive positions (with a couple to be confirmed before Monday). There are also a number of other critical rolls that we need to identify resources to fill such as:

• Swim PEI Parent Rep (a meeting in ch’town once a month)
• Policy development (assistance with formalizing our governance structure and
operational policies)
• Team clothing coordination
• Meet Manager and Officials Coordination (when we host meets)
• Social Committee (the more the merrier!)
• Communication

If you have interest in any of the above, please let me know before the meeting (especially if you can’t make it).

The club is growing fast with new swimmers, but we must also grow our parent support.

"You are the only person on this earth who can use your ability."

Thanks,
Tanya

I hope all of you have an awesome and relaxing summer! I look forward to seeing all of you in the fall 2009!

Coach Tracy

Dear Parents:

Wow! What a great evening we had at our annual awards banquet. Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting the swimmers and your club. It was such a great way to wrap up our season!

Believe it or not, we are already busy doing some preliminary planning for next season. As you know, our sport is increasing in popularity and we are anticipating further growth in our 2009/2010 season. To help us plan our pool time and coaching needs, could you please respond to this email and let me know if your swimmer is planning on coming back, not planning on coming back or simply that you do not know. Certainly you can change your mind over the Summer, but it does give us a ‘sense’ of returning swimmers.

I have attached the list of swimmer placement for next season.
