      SWIM-A-THON ... May of 2008 - Annual Event
      Volunteers are needed to plan the event.   Please contact Maria Dugas at maria@laspy.com or 447-6823. 

Event Description - Swim-a-thon is described by USA Swimming as s fundraiser in which participants earn money for their team by swimming length of the pool.  Swimmers have a two-hour period to swim a maximum of 200 length.  Participants get pledges from businesses, family, neighbors, etc.  prior to swimming.  Some choose to get pledges and money prior to swimming while others get pledges per length and collect the money following the Swim-a-thon.  We hope to raise about $300-500 per swimmer with this event.   

Other details: We plan to make this into a Cinco de Mayo family and friends day, too.  A lunch and concessions will be available.  The event will start about 9:00 a.m. leaving time for fun with family during the day.   Please support our team with your help.

      Ink Cartridge Recycling Program - Ed Boudreaux is organizing an ink cartridge recycling program for the team.  Please bring your old used ink cartridges to the pool office and placed them in the box mark ink recycling.  Each cartridge will bring in about $2-3 per item for the team.  Every little bit adds up.   Also, please ask your business or office to save their cartridges for the swim team and bring them into the pool.   Thanks for your support.
       
      Corporate Sponsors - The support of the local business community is needed by our swim team.   The Bayou Barracuda swim team fund-raising committee has made it easy for parents to reach out to the local business community by providing the necessary tools.  Brochures, flyers and details about the sponsor opportunities and benefits for the corporate community are available at the Sponsor page online  [Click here] and print your forms.  Any questions about the sponsor program,  please contact Maria Dugas at pdugas@sw.rr.com !  Let's make community partnerships!
