WE STILL NEED TIMERs!!
Robinson must provide four timers for both the Friday
(prelims/semifinals) & Saturday (finals) Concorde District meets.
If you
can help, please sign up on
Google.docs.
|
There will be
NO
buses (for anyone) on either Friday or Saturday to the District
meets. All RSD members need to find their own transportation
to and from the meets. Coaches will be taking attendance and
expect kids to come let them know they are there.
NOTE:
There is a
$6 spectator
fee for all swim & dive events. In the past, team members who were
not swimming in the meet but rode the bus and came in with team
members who were swimming, were not charged. Without a team bus,
and everyone coming in at different times, it is not clear if
non-swimming team members will be charged. Please wear team
shirt/parka to show team membership.

Robinson Athletic Department is conducting a fundraising
campaign through MySportsDreams. This is a
mandatory
fundraiser for all sports teams at Robinson. Every athlete
is asked to log on to the site and enter contact information
(email addresses, mail addresses, and/or facebook sites) for
adults who care about them and might be willing to support
the swim team & athletic program. It will only take a few
minutes. Each contact listed will receive a personalized
brochure asking for a donation. Anyone who donates will
receive a $50 hotel/dining "thank you" gift. NOTE: mysportsdreams takes a fee of $10/donation.
The remainder of the donation is divided as follows: 60% Robinson Swim & Dive,
20% Robinson athletics , 20% Robinson boosters; Click

If
you prefer, donations can be made directly to the Robinson
Athletic Boosters. Please include a note with your donation
asking that funds be divided as appropriated by the
fundraiser (60% RSD, 20% Robinson athletics, 20% Robinson
athletic boosters). Checks should be made out to
Robinson Athletic Boosters and turned in to Coach Phil or at
the athletic office. |
