OA update Oct. 26

Personalize Caps - last chance:  Tuesday is the last chance to turn in personalized silicon cap orders.  Give order to Matt Coach by the end of practice on Tuesday.  Order form is attached.

Orinda Aquatics A+ Meet, Nov. 14-15:  Be sure to enter. This is a team meet and all swimmers who should enter.  The minimum time is an "A" time, with 1 bonus event for each day that you have an "A" time. 

All families are required to fulfill their team meet work commitment.  Attached are the worker assignments.  Be sure to contact parent coordinator, Julia Fuqua, with any questions.

Coming Soon - Look for the snack bar/hospitality wish/donations list.  Any donations will definitely help cut costs and make it a very profitable and successful meet for OA.  We could not do this without the support and cooperation of our parent group contributing your time and donating food items to the snack bar and hospitality. Thank you for your support.

Annual See’s Candy fundraiser:  We are beginning our annual See’s Candy fundraiser.  See’s candy offers affordable holiday gifts for friends, relatives, co-workers, teachers, the mailman and gardeners.  Prizes will be awarded to the top sellers in the Senior and Junior Group.  We thank you for your support.

Team Policy/Parent Agreement requires all families to sell $350 or $500 for multi-swimmers of See’s Candy or make a tax-deductable $200 donation to Orinda Aquatics. 

OA Scholastic All-Americans:  The following swimmers were chosen as 2009 Scholastic All-Americans: Olivia Alva, Rachel Cleak, Aly Levine, Shelby Luchini, Jordan Tomimatsu, Andrea Ward, Brooke Woodward and Sean Haufler.  Way to go OA!

 

Monthly Dues Reminder:  All monthly swim payments are due the 1st of each month.  Invoices for each month are generated on the 21st of the preceding month.  You can log into your member account and view your invoices at any time. Please send your payments to:  5101 Coach Drive, El Sobrante, CA 94803.  Thank you for making payments on time.  Team Policy: outstanding dues of over a month can result in swimmers being held out of the water until balances are paid.
