Here are a few things we need assistance on for the upcoming Blackfly - please volunteer/contribute in any way you possibly can. The Blackfly Swim Meet is a revenue maker (any swim meet is) and is the main reason why our club fees are the lowest in the region (comparing against 22+ swim clubs) for the services we offer. The majority of regional clubs have a 'volunteer' contract committing a designated amount of hours from each family but we're asking you to contribute in any way possible. Thanks in advance. So far we have three out-of-town teams totalling over 60 swimmers confirmed in addition to our own - let's give them a warm welcome and a reason to return next year!
Fundraiser at Blackfly:
The Candu executive has added a new fundraising event to the Black Fly Swim Meet. It is a Chinese Auction!
A Chinese auction is a raffle with multiple prizes. People purchase tickets and the insert their tickets in the box that corresponds with the prizes they wish to win. They can buy as many tickets as they like. At the conclusion of the auction, one winning ticket is drawn from the "box" beside each item, and the item is given to the owner of that ticket.
The success of the event is greatly increased by the amount and the value of the prizes. We are seeking donations for the prize table. Perhaps you own a business, or are familiar with a business in the community where you could request a donation, or would like to donate a prize. Gift cards, themed gift baskets, sports apparel / memorabilia, oil changes etc. Your assistance in our fundraising activities is greatly appreciated.
Please e-mail Nicole Adams at roknrobbie@msn.com by Thursday May 10, 2012. We appreciate your participation in making our swim meet a success!
Much appreciated!

Officials Required (Sat & Sun session)
**Thanks in advance to those who volunteered themselves during online registration** We'll forward this information to the Club's Officials Chair.
Our club's swimmers have trained all year and now it's time to see what they can do! Blackfly is the big event!
It takes more than 30 volunteer officials for us to hold the Blackfly meet and everyone is essential to the meet's success. Did you know that we need 18 Timers per session!?! Training is a quick online course and combined with a short hands-on briefing on how to use a stop watch you are on your way to the best seats in the house!
Already trained as a timer? Then Stroke & Turn is for you. Learn the details of the legal strokes.
Everyone looks good in white! Check out: http://www.osoa.ca/web/
The online course module will also be offerred next Thursday (in person) at the pool from 5-6:30pm. Please email Doug or the club's general account to sign-up.
