Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!
We had a great day at the swim club and the Penny Auction was a big success, raising almost $3000. Thanks to everyone for your basket/card contributions and thank you to all who volunteered to work the auction - it was great to have so many people help this year! A special thanks to Kim and Ryan Morris, and Jenn and Andy Knox for coordinating the auction.
I want to remind everyone that there is NO pep rally/team dinner tonight.
On Saturday morning we will travel to Wenonah to swim the Wenonah Wave Runners. This will be a particularly difficult meet. Wenonah is the B-division co-leader (with Brookside) and is favored to move up to A division next year. Nevertheless, we expect the Frogs to swim hard and have fun. Thanks to all who have volunteered to work the meet.
Please see below for meet assignments, directions and other important info/deadlines.
GO FROGS!

Other Important Upcoming Activities
Team Picnic - Sat. July 13: Due by July 9
One of the funnest activities of the year and a bargain at only $20/family! In honor of our 40th anniversary, we want to invite former Frogs, families and friends back home to celebrate after our last home meet against Sunnybrook. So, please pass along this message, and the attached registration form, to any former Frogs you may know. The theme of the picnic is the 1970s, so starting planning your attire for the day.
TriCounty Championship Pre-Order T-Shirts: Due by July 10
The Apparel Store for the 2013 Tri-County Swimming Championships is now open at www.trico2013.com All apparel pre-sales will be online - there will be no paper orders. This year's host, Deerbrook, expects to sell only a limited number of items at the meet, so order online through July 10th for discounted prices and best selection! I will pick up all GP orders placed on August 2.Team Banquet - Wed. July 31: Due by July 15
Don't miss the best sports banquet you'll ever attend! This is not your typical rubber chicken and talking head (except for me) banquet. It's run like an award's show and the kids have a great time. This year the banquet is being held at Paris Caterer's in Blackwood. The deadline on this event is very strict at the caterer's instruction. Please get your form from the team bulletin board and submit it to Jenna Buffetta, Katie McAninley or your age group mom by July 15.
