We hope this week finds you well. The Aqualaps pledge drive is half over.  There is a lot going on now that spring is here but don't forget to seek Aqualaps pledges!!!  There are plenty of opportunities to raise money by sitting at pledge tables at Fred Meyers, A&P, Safeway or the Wharf. All table sign up sheets will be at the downtown pool this week when Diamond pool is closed.  If that doesn't suit you, seek pledges at the Folk Fest or wherever your interests bring you.

 Each swimmer is expected to raise $350 to meet their annual fees. Many swimmers raise much more.  Coach Scott wants to see everyone step up their game this year and has issued a Coach's Challenge. As an incentive, all swimmers who earn at least $750 in pledges will receive a personalized GSC warm-up jacket, IF the team as a whole raises at least $88,000. Get started today to make this year’s Aqualaps the most successful yet - and get a free GSC warm-up jacket at the same time

We have just four weeks to go and we are at 35% of our goal. Now is the time to get those Aqualaps pledges and sponsorships that will help us reach our goal of $83,000. We set our Aqualaps goal based on the amount needed to keep monthly dues at their current level and pay our coaches and pool rental fees.

We will have an Aqualaps Pledge Collection table at the Time Trial This Weekend from 8-10 am.  Bring pledges in and sign up for a Table spot!

The Corporate Sponsor Drive will be officially ending with the conclusion of Aqualaps on May 5th.  Please contact all your reserved businesses and follow up with them if you haven't heard back.  If you are having problems contacting who you need to, please let me know. Also, if you've reserved a business, but have decided not to contact them, please let me know so someone else can.

Please work hard these next four weeks to get those pledges and sponsorships in.  Thanks for all of your hard work!
