Family Volunteering Ballots & Awards

Family Volunteering The success of our club’s obligations to the total swimming community and SDSC’s membership depends on the support of family volunteers. In an effort to distribute the obligation fairly throughout our membership, it is essential that each family commit a few hours of their time to helping our swim club.
An added incentive to encourage your participation is that each family member who volunteers for the roles outlined below will receive a corresponding number of ballots towards a free membership next year.
NOTE: draws are non transferable (to another swimmer) and there is no cash value. Draws will be held at our annual awards banquet.
Each family is responsible to submit their volunteer activity, date and ballots to the Dolphin box after each swim meet. Ballots will be made available at the meets Position Ballot Value

Family Volunteering Awards

Hi Folks,

For those of you who are new to the Dolphin Swim Club, a policy exists that rewards individuals who volunteer at various meets, functions & other capacities by receiving draw ballots. See separate post.

After each season two draws are made, 1 for tiers 1-3 & 1 for the 4’s & regionals.  The winners drawn receive free swimming for their child the following season.

Unfortunately, this past season many people who volunteered were not given opportunities to fill out ballots.  To correct this & reward volunteers we are asking all individuals who volunteered in any capacity (again see the list) to respond to this by emailing Bonnie Profitt at profittboys@hotmail.com

We are recognizing that we are using the honor system with this but this appears to be the most equitable manner to proceed.

We will organize a ballot writing committee to fill out the necessary ballots, place them in a box & make the two draws at the AGM on September the 19th at 6:30.

To summarize, we all need to advise Bonnie of the events involved & the capacity we served in.    Deadline for submissions is July 31, 2012

Regards,

Bill

We have emailed parents with this information as well but it appears our email list is not complete.

The flag will be available this Saturday during 8:30 – 10:30 for everyone to sign – younger swimmers who are out of the water are encouraged to stop by and sign this special flag!
