Greetings FAST Families!  Here's your mid-week update for week #3.  My apologies for how late it's getting to you.  There's a LOT to communicate this week!

• As usual, we'd like to extend a huge thank you to all the volunteers who helped make the meet at Wildwood a smooth success.  These meets can't happen without your participation, and we truly appreciate it!
• Meet Signup: Please have your swimmer sign up for our next AWAY meet against Oakwood.  Here's the sign-up link: FAST vs Oakwood - June 22, 2026.  Sign-ups close Friday night.
• While you're at it, why not sign up for future meets? This year, we have opened sign-ups for all meets (and non-meet events), so that you can sign up in advance for any meets/events where you know in advance that you will or will not be able to attend.  Just go to the Signup Calendar, and select the event(s) you want to sign up for.
• Volunteer Signup for the next TWO meets: Our incomparable volunteer coordinator, Marianne Rolfs, and her family will be out of town for a mini vacation June 24-28. Our next HOME meet will be Monday, June 29, against Hill City (the largest team in the league!). Please help Marianne out by signing up to volunteer for the NEXT TWO MEETS so she can make sure everything is prepared before she leaves. We will need all hands on deck for that home meet.  Here are the volunteer sign-up links for the next two meets:

• Bonfire location change: The team bonfire is THIS SATURDAY, June 20, from 7:30-9:30pm, but the location has changed! The bonfire will now be at the Rolf home, located at 112 Merrywood Dr. in Forest. You can RSVP here: Team Fire Pit Night @ the Rolfs.  All parents, coaches and swimmers are invited, including Junior Makos! Bring graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows plus any other gourmet things you like on your s’mores. Bring extra backyard games if you prefer. (Pickleball won’t be available unless someone brings their net and gear. Theirs had to be retired to the dump). Come get to know the team, coaches and their families a little better! And help the Rolfs burn through their winter stick piles!
• Swim-a-Thon reminder: See the email from Danielle Parker on 6/14 regarding our Swim-a-Thon fundraiser!  Please encourage your swimmer to participate!  Funds raised will help purchase much-needed equipment and improvements for our team, including new lane ropes and lane rope covers.
• Team Breakfast: All swimmers are invited to Team Breakfast on Monday, June 22, from 9:30-9:55. This week we will be having a muffin bar! Donation sign ups are open here: Meet Day Breakfast #3 Muffin Bar - June 22, 2026 Job Assignments.
• Ribbons: Ribbons from Monday's meet will be in the grey file box tomorrow morning.

Enjoy the rest of your week and GO FAST!
