Simpson Meet Dinner...YOU'RE INVITED!

Dear Luther Swim Families and Friends,

Welcome to the 2010-2011 season’s first meet to be held at Simpson College on Saturday October 30th at 1 pm. The Luther swim parents and swimming alums of Central Iowa are inviting the parents, families and friends who attend the meet to join our swimmers for dinner afterward.

We have arranged for the Simpson College catering staff to provide a buffet meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables and beverages. We are asking the families that attend to bring the desserts. Please bring items that are easy to transport and easy to serve like fruit, cupcakes, bars, cookies etc. Any leftover food desserts can be sent back on the bus with the swimmers for snacks for their 5-hour drive back to Decorah.

The meal will be served in the Pioneer Conference Room (1st floor east end of the building) located in McNeill Hall which is located directly east of the Cowles Fieldhouse (which is where the pool is located.) The buildings are easy walking distance from each other. We are anticipating the meal will begin immediately after the meet. There is a parking lot located on the south side of the McNeill building. A campus map is attached to this email.

The host families will pay for the swimmers, coaches and trainers (all are welcome to contribute if you wish). We are asking everyone else to pay $10 a person for the cost of their meals. Please bring your cash or checks to the meal but we do need to have your RSVP in advance so we can order the correct number of meals.

Please RSVP by Tuesday October 26 to Jule Thorsen at jule.thorsen@simpson.edu 

Hope to see many of you there!
