Waynewood Dolphins Midweek Message!

June 24, 2021

As a Team, the Dolphins have dropped 15 minutes and 41 seconds so far this season!!!

1. Volunteer Shift Good News/Mishap News.  Volunteer Shifts for the next 2 Away Meets are now open to all Dolphin Volunteers! Unfortunately, in the process, the wonderfully full slate of volunteers for this Saturday's A meet was wiped clean.  With wonderful team effort, some of the list has been quickly reconstituted, but if you signed up for a shift at the Tables, Marshal or Clerk of Course please reenter your sign up ASAP.   

As for the new Volunteer Shifts...Grab a spot or two! Is your favorite job filled already? Try something new! We need to fill all our shifts to run our meets smoothly for the swimmers.
