Cow Appreciation Day

Mark your Calendar. July 8, 2011 is Cow Appreciation Day at Chick-fil-a!

For one day only, black and white spots, cow bells and furry ears will be appropriate attire in the nation’s second largest chicken chain. In celebration of July 8, Cow Appreciation Day, an unofficial – yet nationally recognized holiday, Chick-fil-A will award a free combo meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) to any customer who comes to one of the chain’s 1,200-plus restaurants fully dressed as a cow.

Appropriately dressed customers may select any breakfast, lunch or dinner Meal. Kids who are “fully dressed like a cow” may request a Kid’s Meal if desired.

Customers who arrive with “partial cow attire” will receive one free Entree. “Partial cow attire” means just a cow accessory, such as a cow-printed hat, vest or purse. Decision is at the discretion of the restaurant Operator.

Summer Update

Team,

Just a quick note to remind you of a couple things.

On Saturday, August 28th, we’ll be heading up to Ginnie Springs for our 2nd Annual Tube Float Trip. This is a great time to relax in the cool waters of the Santa Fe River and maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll see a MOO Mom jump from a rope swing into the water! The cost is $12 per person for admission into the park. If you need to rent a tube (you can definitely bring your own!), the cost is $6 for the entire day.
-Meet at the Y at 7:00am (we’ll be leaving right at 7:15am)
-If you can drive, please let us know as well – we’ll carpool (riders will pay for gas)
-Bring your own lunch and beverage as we will not be stopping on the way
-We should be back at the Y by 6:30pm (there may be a car going back earlier if there’s a need, but no guarantees)
-Please let Teresa or myself know if you can attend by Thursday, August 26th
-If you have any questions, please contact either Teresa or myself and feel free to check out the Ginnie Springs website at www.ginniespringsoutdoors.com

MOO Practices/Meets – Attendance this summer has been good, but for those that are looking for some competitions, there are a couple events on the horizon. Ocala Masters will be hosting a one-day SCY meet (yes, yards!) on Sept. 25 and on Oct. 16-17, the Aquatic Center will be hosting a SCM meet again. For those coming to practice, you will notice that the emphasis is on strokes and continuing over the next few weeks, time will be taken to work on drills – learning new ones and working on old ones. This is a great opportunity as there isn’t as much time to spend on drills while we’re ramping up the workouts during meet season.

Quick Reminder – When entering the pool for practice, there may be some other members in the lane doing laps. They are not used to swimming with another person anywhere near them. Please take a moment to let them know that you are going to join them to do a warm-up as Masters practice is beginning. Please do not run over them or muscle them out of the way. I will do my best to speak with each one to see if they want to join us or if space is available, move to an outside lane

XMAS in July Party!

Its time for to celebrate X-mas in July again. Team social get together at Schrantz' house on Sunday July 25th from noon-4pm. As the MOO X-mas tradition we will do the white elephant gift exchange so bring that special item you wish to get rid of. The party is BYOB and food items to share. See you all there!
