MAKO Winter Invitational - Volunteers Needed
We have nearly 200 MAKO swimmers entered in our meet this weekend, and only a handful of families who have volunteered to help with our meet. If you have a swimmer competing, I am asking you to PLEASE volunteer 2 hours of your time to help out at either concessions, or in the awards / hospitality room. I promise that you will be able to watch your child compete, and won't miss their race. It is essential that we get more participation from our parents, or we will have to make it mandatory in the future. Thank you in advance for your support.
As an extra incentive to volunteer, MAKO photographer Cathy Summers is offering a 10% discount to all volunteers, and Cathy promises to put extra effort into getting pictures of the volunteer's swimmers. (more

Donations: If you are unable to sign up to volunteer, and would still like to contribute, please bring in either a pre-packaged snack, or a case of water or gatorade for our concession stand. We would greatly appreciate it. I will be at the pool tonight to collect these items from 5:15-6:30 PM. If you cannot make it to the pool tonight, please bring it to the concessions table when you arrive at the meet this weekend.

Action Photos
Makos' photographer Cathy Summers reminds parents and swimmers to use the Photo Request form on her web site if you want Cathy to try and take pictures of your swimmers during the Winter Invitational. Please use the No Photos form if you do not want Cathy to take pictures of your swimmers during the meets.
While Cathy has tried to capture a photo or two of every Mako swimmer in the past, she will focus on just those interested swimmers in the future.
Cathy is also offering a 10% discount to all MAKO volunteers. Send Cathy an email or ask for the discount code when you see her at the meet or at practice.
Please let Coach Heather know if you have any questions.
GO MAKOS!
