RSB Meeting Update

Last week, as previously announced, we held our first Sugarbear board meeting to recap last summer, review our survey results and begin our initial discussion and planning for next season. Also began our planning for our first annual off-season Dinner/Auction fundraiser. Sugarbear parents from the following families were present:

• Huber
• Langley
• Morel
• Thomason
• Ostrander
• Johnson
• Busby
• Shafto
• Taylor

Outgoing president from the Seawolves, Jennifer Pointer, joined the meeting for the dinner/auction discussion.

Our League Representative Megan Henry also attended and provided several updates. A key one to note is that the VFCAL Meeting is scheduled for October 24th. Megan, Head Coach Jordan and three Sugarbear Board Members will be attending. Responses from our recent survey responses are used as input.

Not to overwhelm anyone, but it was suggested from the surveys that the Sugarbears board provide more visibility and understanding to what all goes into the planning and execution for a swim season. Please click here to view our current 2008 season todo list. We have tried to keep it simple and have those not as involved in the team to focus on their two key responsibilities:

• Volunteer Meet Support (14 hours minimum)
• Signout at least 7 days in advance (minimize scratches)

But, if you see anything on the list that you would like to take the lead on or assist, please let us know.

Also, if you are willing to serve on the Board or a committee, we would LOVE to hear from you. Feel free to contact Jef Huber or Michael Taylor.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 10th and will be held at Lakeview Hills Club House. Focus of the meeting will primarily be on the planning for the Dinner/Auction. Meeting will begin at 7pm, feel free to arrive as early as 6pm to first socialize and enjoy the surroundings. Directions to the clubhouse can be found on the Lakeview Hills website: http://www.lakeviewhills.org/

A THANK YOU to the Hubers for hosting our last meeting.

Switching gears, for anyone interested in seeing Coach Jordan and/or Marytess play waterpolo. Sierra College has a match against their main rival, American College, this Wednesday, September 26th at the Orangevale Community Pool. Mens match begins at 3:30pm, followed by the ladies team.

Hope to see you there!

2007 Sugarbears Evaluation Results Available

Results and responses from our 2007 year end evaluations are now accessible on our Sugarbear website.

Thank you to those that took the time to fill out this year's survey.

With a very young coaching staff and batch of swimmers, we are very optimistic about our Sugarbears' future.

Never underestimate what you can do to make our team more special and enjoyable. You can make a difference!

The Sugarbear board members will be holding their next meeting, Thursday, September 20th.

If you are at all interested in being on the board, or in helping with the planning of our upcoming, off-season dinner/auction in April, please contact Jef Huber or Michael Taylor.

GO SUGARBEARS!!
