Age Group Nationals

Montreal, Quebec
July 16 to19, 2009

As there has been no need for team travel expressed for this meet it is assumed that all athletes are travelling "on their own".  I have a block of rooms at the Sandman Hotel (closest to the subway line which is ideal for this pool as parking is very limited).  At this point I only have rooms with a king sized bed plus a double pullout couch for $109.00 per night.  If anyone would like a room kindly email me at bwgilmour@rogers.com on or before July 1, 2009.  ThanksWendy

DR PAUL HAUCH ADVERTISING FUNDRAISER

Thanks to the families who have already contacted me for advertising and questions. I will always make e-mail contact with you on each and every e-mail/ snail mail item so that you are aware that I have received information.

Attached you will find the Dr Paul Hauch Advertising Fundraiser file in PDF format. All the information you will need to sell ads is included. Please note that there are changes from last year. We have three (3) ad sizes available this season to match our 2009 Meet Package for Hauch.

The fundraiser package details what the ad sponsor will receive for each ad size. The event listings are comments added in under the event number and name but before the records and swimmer heat information in the program. In addition for what is listed, we insert a Thank You page listing all the sponsors for our meet alphabetically in the meet program.

Please make sure that the Sponsor Information Sheet is attached to each ad copy. Deadline to receive ad copy and info sheet is Tuesday June 30th, 2009.

PICTURES

In order to ensure we have even representation of all age groups in the banquet video next year and to help with the process of assembling the production, I'd appreciate if we could all get in the habit of taking pictures during a meet and then passing them along by either via email to cindyjensen8@rogers.com, on a jump drive (I'll return it once I've copied them) or on a cd after every meet.
