Welcome back to all of our returning families and a big hello to our new members!

It was so nice to see you at our BBQ on September 15th! We hope you enjoyed yourselves and had time to catch up with friends and your coach. I would like to thank the Lui Family for organizing such a fantastic event and to the NYAC Board of Directors for their help. We hope that everyone had time to sample the fundraising cookies we will be selling this year, get a team towel from our sponsor PepsiCo Canada, and pick up their Team Equipment from our sponsor and supplier, Swim & Sports. We will be having a Team Equipment Day on Saturday October 4th at Douglas Snow for additional team equipment orders, fittings, and sales if you did not have time to pre-order this summer. Equipment forms and equipment information are posted on our website or you can always go to the Swim & Sports store, 5484 Tomken Road, Unit 30, Mississauga.

Our season will start off with activities both in and out of the water. Please refer to the NYAC Events Calendar on our website for upcoming dates and times. If you could also take the time to pencil in the Officials' Clinics you will be well on your way to meeting our club's requirement having each family with one qualified timer and strokes and turns judge.

Our fundraising program is already under way with Loblaws Cards and Shop and Support. Information regarding these programs can be found on our website via the Fundraising tab on the website's sidebar, or you can contact Kate McKellar at nyac.fundraising@rogers.com

Our NYAC Awards Banquet is on November 14th. This event celebrates the participation and achievements of all of our swimmers at all levels of competition. If you are interested in helping with this event, please contact Lui, our Social Director at hungfui.lui@gmail.com

NYAC will once again be hosting Youth Cup and Mega City at the Etobicoke Olympium December 4 - 7th. We are very proud of these meets and as a club we ask that all of our families commit to working sessions and officiating. If you are interested in becoming more involved as a Food Co-ordinator, Cafeteria Co-ordinator, T-shirt sales, or part of our meet management team, please contact Vivian Hu at whu0721@rogers.com

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or ideas throughout the year at natalielychy@rogers.com

I look forward to seeing you on the pool deck and would like to wish your swimmer the best of luck in the upcoming swim season!

Sincerely,

Natalie Lychy
NYAC President
