**Friendly Reminder**

Hi Tideriders Parents,

Welcome to all of our new families and hello again to all of our returning families! We are so excited for this upcoming season!!

We will have another home meet this coming Monday, June 26th. At every home meet, concessions will be available for purchase. (See details below)

Because our budget is very tight, every year we request that each family donate to the concession stand, just like in all the years past. Selling concessions allows us to pay our coaching staff and lifeguards, among other things. This year the donation amount per family is $25. These donations also eliminate the need for required fundraisers like car washes, raffles, and candy bar sales, etc. like other local teams are required to do.

We are requesting all donations to be turned by Sunday, June 25th. You can turn in cash donations to me, Sarah Watson, or pay electronically via Venmo to @ElizabethLakes-Tideriders. Or you can access the Venmo link here: https://venmo.com/u/ElizabethLakes-Tideriders (Please note this is different than the Elizabeth Lake Pool Venmo account.)  If you have already given a cash donation to someone else on the team, please let me know that too so I can reach out to them to get the donation, deposit into our team account, and purchase the needed concessions prior to this next upcoming home meet.

Over years past we have always had Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, chips, candy and drinks available for purchase during all home meets. Because Chick-Fil-A prices have increased we are are no longer doing CFA and doing Dominos Pizza instead!  This was a hit this past Monday!  We still have our staples like chips, candy, and drinks (water, Gatorade, soda) available for purchase at the meets as well.

We cannot thank you enough for your support in this endeavor. If you need to reach me for anything at all, you can call or text me at (757) 329-2361. We are looking forward to a great season!

Thanks Again,

Sarah Watson (Tideriders Concessions)
