St Pete meet July 11-12

Team,

I wanted to remind you of some upcoming meets. 

St. Pete Masters will be holding their long course meet on July 11-12.  Below is a link to the meet information.

http://www.dixiezone.org/Meets/0907SPM.pdf

Entries must be postmarked by Tuesday, July 1st!  1500's start on Saturday morning, so if you're not swimming the mile, you can wake up at a reasonable time as the rest of the meet starts at 11:00 am!  Please try and make this meet a priority to attend.  If you can make it for even one day, that would be great.  If we have a good showing at their meet, we stand a better chance of them coming to our meet. 

And…speaking of our meet…it is now official.  We'll be hosting the first ever "Who's going to rule the pasture" MOO meet (that's not the actual title of the meet - I was just having some fun!) at the YMCA Aquatic Center on January 16-17, 2010.  Mark it on your calendars!

There will be practice tonight, and we'll be getting out right on time for you to get to your favorite Magic viewing location - whether it be your home or some bar stool!
