Hey Parents,

As you should know we are hosting the upcoming Ribbon Meet, which means we need all hands on dock... um, I mean all hands on deck (see what I did there). As you also know volunteering at the ribbon meet is a condition of team membership (even if your child isnt swimming in the Ribbon Meet).

To put it plainly, this meet is the biggest meet we will host this season and we absolutely cannot do it alone. We need timers (ages 16+), parking lot attendants, setup and cleanup crews, food donations, and even teenagers (ages 13+) to help assemble the actual ribbons. If you have at least one working finger (not that one!) and an intermittent (or better) pulse... we have a job for you.

One more thing. All volunteer sign-ups for the remainder of the season are now open, not just for the Ribbon Meet. If you already know you'll be at future meets, go ahead and grab those spots now. 

Now, I want to be entirely transparent with you about how this goes. The faster these volunteer roles fill up, the fewer obnoxious, long and pleading emails you will receive from me over the next few days and weeks. You want to avoid my annoying nonsense? It’s simple: fill in all the volunteer spots and leave me with absolutely nothing to ask for. I will happily remove.myself from your inbox if you would just give me the chance. 

Thank you in advance for saving the day, the season and your spam filters.

Ed
