Thank You
Thank you to all our volunteers at the Woodstock v Rockingham meet, including those working as timers, awards sorters, officials, bull pen managers, starters, and concessions sales. Special thanks to our Volunteer Coordinator, Julia Haynes and our tech-happy computer guru, Kent McFarland. We had many new faces and some new technology this year, yet the meet went well for swimmers and spectators alike. The Dolphin System has been a tremendous addition to our team, and we thank you for your support and patience as we all learn. We look forward to hosting another home meet on Tuesday, July 13th. We could not run our meets without so many committed volunteers.
