Tomorrow night we will take on Oshkosh North-Lourdes at the 20 Ave. YMCA in Oshkosh.
Tomorrow night is special for a couple of reasons:
1. The meet starts at 6:00 pm, not 5:30.
2. There is an admission charge of $5 for adults, and $3 for students.
3. It's our 2nd annual Halee Fritsch Food Drive competition vs. Oshkosh North-Lourdes!
Numbers 1 and 2 aren't really exciting, but #3 is! Last year, one of our captains, Halee Fritsch, really wanted to do a community service project with the team. Of course, we all thought it was an excellent idea, so the Halee Fritsch Food Drive was born (I named it that--not Halee). Anyway, we thought it would be fun to challenge another team to a contest to see which team could bring the most non-perishable goods to a dual meet. I reached out to the ONL coach, Heidi Wera, and she loved the idea. I decided there needed to be a super-cool trophy that would stay with the team that won each year. Last year AW-K won, and the giant pear (pictured above) has been proudly displayed on my desk for the past year. The giant pear brings joy to all who see it sitting on my desk. To me, it represents AW-K giving back to the community in a fun, positive way.
Tomorrow night we will battle in the pool and for the giant pear. Please consider cleaning out your pantry and carting all of your non-perishables to the 20 Ave. YMCA tomorrow night. Let's keep the giant pear at our pool and help a whole lot of people in the process!
With AW-K Pride,
Coach Vicki
