I was really proud of all the hard work everyone put in building up to the pre-season meet this past weekend, everyone looked great. I saw a lot of great performances of all of our athletes.
 
Parents, we need your digital pictures for our memory DVD, so if you have any pictures that you can turn into Alan, please ask for either a flash drive or blank CD.
 
Also our Lap-a-thon is Tuesday this week, this is our main fund raising event, we will need a lot of help so please be sure to come out on the track at Saugus High School. Please make sure you collect funds and turn them in by the dead line. 
 
There are more detail below on these topics.
 
Lap-a-thon Sept 15, 2009
Our lap-a-thon is scheduled for September 15, at Saugus High School on the Track, This is our primary fund raiser event, This fund raiser helps us keep our price low, allows us to offer scholarships, and assist our athletes in national competition.
 
We ask every family to seek pledges either by flat rate or a per lap donation. The athletes run 1 hour, later they return to their donors and collect their pledges to turn in by the dead line.  
 
We will award a grand prize of Disneyland park hopper tickets to the athlete who raises the most funds. Every athlete who raises $40.00 will also win a prize.   
 
The deadline to be eligible for the grand prize is October 6th. Athletes who raise $40.00 or more will still be eligible to win a lap-a-thon prize even if they turn in the funds after October 6th.
 
Song Requests: We are taking requests. If you have a song you want to hear during the lap-a-thon, please send me an email so I can make sure I have it, * We may not be able to get to all songs requested.
