SLAM PRESIDENT’S MONTHLY NEWS – Patrick Sullivan

 

October, 2024

If any workout group has any events coming up, please hit Reply to this email and SLAM will help promote it.

Make sure to sign up for our last event of the year, the Ozark LMSC Short Course Meters Championship swim meet hosted by SLAM, on Saturday, November 2nd in Edwardsville at the Chuck Fruit Aquatic Center. The meet starts at noon and the deadline to enter is noon on Friday, November 1.

SLAM will hold its annual meeting at the meet, as well.  The link for the meet is here.  I hope to see you there!  Please help us promote it to all the swimmers in your workout group.

Our social chair, Katrina Bibbee, and I will be visiting practices in the next couple of weeks. Expect to see us drop in and take no more than 10 minutes of your valuable practice time. We want to meet as many of you as possible, as well as promote the swim meet and our first-annual SLAM charity event!

Katrina has developed a great charity event–our first annual Thanksgiving food drive COMPETITION.  All of the workout groups in SLAM will be competing against one another for the much needed cause of donating food to local food banks (gathered donations will go towards the local YMCA’s Nov. 1st-20th Thanksgiving food drives).  The workout group that donates the most food will win a traveling trophy and a $200 gift certificate for aquatic equipment. The winning team will be announced at our November 2nd meet!

During our quick visit to your practice, we will be distributing flyers as well as a SLAM Food Drive box for your team to fill! We will be looking for 1-2 swimmers or coaches from each workout group to help remind their teammates to bring in donations, gather the items to the food drive box, and send text updates to Katrina so we can give weekly updates to all teams on our standings/progress!

2025 USMS Club and WorkOut Group registration has started, I will be renewing SLAM’s membership today, then the workout groups can register with SLAM by October 31. Individuals can renew their membership starting November 1.
