Hi Team,
It's time for the 3rd annual AW-K vs ONL Quest for the Giant Pear!
Three years ago, one of our captains, Halee Fritsch, really wanted to do a community service project with the team. Of course, we all thought that 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 we needed to compete for a super-cool trophy that would stay with the team that won each year. The past two years AW-K has won, and the giant pear (pictured above) has been proudly displayed on my desk. To me, it represents AW-K giving back to the community in a fun, positive way.
Tuesday night we will once again battle in the pool and for the giant pear. Please consider cleaning out your pantry and carting all of your non-perishables to the pool Tuesday night. Everything we collect that night will be donated. The team with the most items, wins! Let's keep the giant pear at our pool and help a whole lot of people in the process!
Hope to see a big bunch of you at the meet on Tuesday night! Timers should arrive by 5:15 for a short meeting. The meet begins at 5:30.
With AW-K Pride,
Coach Vicki
