If you have any questions about your specific check, you can contact Jami at wtwcrewactivities@gmail.com. We will be sending an email out to all families with girls going to Nationals and we will post more details on our Nationals Information Page. Thank you to those parents who have already volunteered to drive and those who have agreed to be boat parents this coming weekend. We have a few additional volunteer slots we need to fill for Nationals. Here is our Nationals Sign-Up Genius page for those attending to sign-up to help us make Nationals as successful as Stotesbury.
5. SAVE THE DATE: Restaurant Fundraiser on June 4th. We will have our last restaurant fundraiser of the season at Noodles & Co in Fairfax from 5 to 9 pm on June 4th. When you place your order mention that you are from Woodson Crew so they can punch in the code to give us credit. 6. UPDATED: The End-of-Year Crew Party will be Monday, June 11th in WTW cafeterias A&B from 7-9pm. Here is the Sign-Up Genius where we ask all parents and student-athletes to sign-up so we can get an accurate count of attendees and we are looking for a few volunteers to help out before, during, and after the party. 7. REMINDER: Craft Show Fall 2018 Preparation Help Needed. Not too early to start thinking about it! Traditionally our second largest fundraiser, the WTW Crew Boosters Association sponsors the annual WTW Holiday Happenings Craft Show in November. This year it will be Saturday, November 3, 2018 and requires multiple volunteers, so if you think crew is in your future for next year, we hope you can help us out that day. We are looking for a few people to assist with preparations beginning in September who can commit now. If you are interested and able, please contact Lesley Kowalski at lesleytkowalski@gmail.com. |
