Labor Day Picnic is ON — volunteers still welcome

September 1, 2010

We have enough volunteers to hold our annual Labor Day picnic on Monday, September 6 but would welcome more volunteers to manage the sides, desserts, and drinks tables during the picnic and clean up.  Sign up at the pool or contact the board’s social chair,  Judy Butler, directly by email at butler.lucas@verizon.net or at home 301-320-3975.

The club will provide the burgers (including veggie burgers), hot dogs, and drinks.  Families with last names A-F and Q-Z bring a side dish, salad, or fruit to serve eight.  Families with last names G-P bring a dessert to serve eight.  If you are bringing guests, please adjust your food contribution accordingly! (Side dishes are very popular and go quickly, so if you fall into the side dish category, please do not bring a dessert.)  Please be *generous* with your food contributions.

Floats are allowed in the pool from noon to 1 p.m.  Food will be served from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Adults will be served first.

Penguin Perspective–results for swim and dive teams

August 14, 2010

The Little Falls Swim Team came in 3rd place at the division championships and finished 4th place overall within our division for the season.  We had 8 relay teams represent Little Falls at All-Star Relays, which is pretty unprecedented (a typical year is 0 to 3 relays qualify for All-Stars).  Our relays did very well, too.  Three of our relays got first place, three got 2nd, one got 3rd and one 6th.

 Dive team came in 2nd place at the division championships and finished 3rd place overall within our division for the season.  Seven of our divers qualified for diving All-Stars.

Congrats to all the swimming and diving penguins.  And many many thanks to the parent volunteers.  The teams simply would not be possible without your tremendous collective efforts.
