VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The Lander Swim Club relies heavily on volunteer support to help
keep our monthly dues low. This month we need timers at swim
meets. We also need adults to help supervise activities at the
Winter Break Clinic, to label and organize equipment at the pool,
or to donate groceries for the nutrition part of the clinic. We also
need volunteers to be timers and help with the Happy New Year
Meet. During this season of giving, we urge you to give us some
of your time. Please sign up to volunteer by emailing us at
lsc@wyoming.com and let us know how you can support the
team. We thank you so much for your generous spirit and
support!
