Hello,

This is a reminder for everyone that sign-up for FST is on May 18th, 5:30-6:30 PM at the Academy Building. Sign up for non-residents begins the next day, May 19th, and is at the framingham park and rec building. There will be a cap on team size, so please be sure to make it to sign up.

For this upcoming summer, I am creating a volunteer "parent board" and I am looking for parents who are interested in filling one of the positions. I have copied the positions and a brief job description for each below. Increased parent involvement will allow our staff to focus more on coaching the swimmers and developing the team. Please let me know as soon as you can if you are interested and able to take one of the positions. The person who takes the position does not have to do all of the work, and can coordinate with other parents to help if needed. If 2 people would like to share the responsibilities of a position, that would work as well. Thanks! - Joey
