Hello to all,
I hope each of you received the letter that I sent out in
August. Your children should be settled in at Sewanee by now and I
hope all is well with each of them. I have received several checks
for the brunch, parent's weekend, October 13th at the Monteagle Inn.
If you are planning of attending( and I hope each of you will)
please let me know so I can give the Monteagle Inn a count. We will
talk about the season and what we can do to support our athletes,
and restore and make new friends.
I also encourage each of you to please support your child by
joining the Sewanee Swimming and Diving Parent's club. We are asking
that each family send their membership fees of $75.00 to:
Jeanette Imboden
2377 Chestnut Springs Trail
Marietta, Georgia 30062
At the brunch we will give you more information about the
training trip in December and the conference swim meet in Dallas
Texas Feb. 14,15,16. . We as parent's have a great time and have had
one of the largest parent groups in attendance. Please mark you
calendar's and join us to support the Sewanee Tigers.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me. I look
forward to seeing each of you soon.

Dear Sewanee Swimming and Diving Parents:
The Holiday Season is upon us and soon we will
be gathering in Crawfordsville,
Indiana
for the SCAC Conference Meet. I look forward to sharing this
exciting three days with many of you. Keeping with Sewanee
tradition we will have a banquet following the Swim Finals on
Saturday evening February 10, at approximately
10:00pm at the Holiday Inn. This is always a festive
occasion where we recognize the team and honor particularly our
seniors and the coaches. Attached you will find a reservation form
for the banquet.
Please complete and mail to me at my home
address. I need your reply by
January 8th, 2007. If you
as a parent are unable to attend I still must receive a reservation
and payment for your swimmer. There is also an opportunity to
contribute to the purchase of a gift for both of the coaches. I am
sure you will want to include this token of appreciation with your
reservation. Questions? Work, 336-768-1270 ext. 1511 or at home
336-760-1788.
Thank you for your continued support of our
sons and daughters.
I look forward to receiving your reservation
for the banquet and sharing the evening with your family.

P.S. Please note, this year in an effort to
save time our dinner will be served as a buffet. The team will begin
their bus trip back to Sewanee at the conclusion of the banquet.

Dear
Sewanee Swimming and Diving Parents:
This
is a test note to see that my son has correctly entered all parent
email addresses that I have received. I am also asking Doug Akers
to post this note on line so that if any parents did not receive
this email they can email me at
cschildknecht@cinci.rr.com so that I can add them to the list.
I
would also like to thank everyone who attended the brunch on
Saturday, September 23rd at the Monteagle Inn. It was great to see
so many freshmen parents and to renew old acquaintances. If you
have not yet joined the Sewanee Parents Swimming and Diving Club, I
would encourage you to do so. You can send your dues to Jeanette
Imboden 2377 Chestnut Springs Trl. Marietta, Georgia 30062. Dues
money is used to provide for the senior gifts; the monogramming of
the new sweats of students whose parents join; and the set up
monogramming for parents shirts whose sales in turn will provide
monies for the parents club. Our goal is to be able to provide
those extra things for our athletes that will add to their enjoyment
of their sport.
Anyone interested in a parents club shirt please contact Rob Overman
at Lauraoverman@Lpmonline.net. Our
goal is to have a sea of purple in the stands at conference
championships! Parents interested in purchasing the sleek black and
white speedo sweats can
contact Lee Ann Barrineau at
macmom1213@aol.com. Her daughter, Sarah, has sizes at Sewanee
for your son or daughter to try on.
You
will be receiving emails in the coming weeks about the goody bags
for conference and the dinner at the conclusion of conference. If
you have not yet made hotel reservations in Crawsfordville, Indiana
for conference, I would urge you to do so without delay.
I
look forward to seeing you there in February.

Hello
from the far east. I have, with Max's approval, been working on
some team shirts for the parents. Actually, I think the coachs and
swimmers will want them also but parents first this time. They are
purple polos from Lands End with the enclosed Sewanee emblem. Yes,
they could be other colors but then I thought how much of a cheering
section it would be in all purple.
There
is a set-up fee and a per shirt fee for the emblem. To keep it
simple, if we can order 20 shirts it only adds about 10.00 to a
18.00 shirt. If more than 20 are ordered, we become profitable and
at that point, I say we give the profit to Grace for the Parents
Club.
I'm
giving you all these details because, I thought that the website
might be the appropiate place to announce this offer.
I
have attached the logo from Lands End.
Let
me know what you think. Hope to see you at Parents weekend.

Dear Sewanee Swimming/Diving Parent:
It seems hard to believe that in a little
less than a month our sons and daughters will be returning to the
Mountain for another year or will be coming to the Mountain to begin
their college years. It won’t be that long also until the 2006-7
swimming and diving season begins as well. Since there were only
two seniors on last year’s team which finished third in the SCAC,
both the men’s and women’s teams are poised to do exceedingly well
this season.
Last year the parents of the swimmers and
divers formally organized to support the team and to get to know one
another since our sons and daughters spend so much time together.
Again this year we will sponsor a brunch Parent’s Weekend (details
enclosed) in order to renew those friendships and to plan those ways
that we can assist to make the conference championship in Indiana
(February 8-10) a great time for both the athletes and parents. I
would encourage you to attend the brunch if you are planning to
attend Parent’s weekend. It is an excellent opportunity for
freshmen parents to get the scoop on collegiate swimming as well as
to meet the parents of your child’s teammates. The brunch will be
over in time to attend the football game. If you have not already
made plans to attend the SCAC conference championship please do not
hesitate to do so. Sewanee takes pride in having the largest
contingent of parents. The swimmers and divers maintain that our
vocal cheering section spurs them to super human achievement in the
close contests. There are still a few rooms available at the
Holiday Inn in Crawfordsville (please contact me since they are in
my name). Rooms are at a premium since Crawfordsville is a small
town so you will not want to wait too long to make a reservation.
Over the Christmas vacation, the swimming
and diving team takes a training trip to Florida in order to
rigorously prepare for the conference championship. Though some of
the cost for the trip is paid by the team from its operating budget,
a large share is born by the parents. Last year, the Parents Club
was able to arrange that donations to the University of the South
Development Fund and earmarked for the swim and dive team to receive
a tax deduction and be credited toward their swimmer/diver’s fees
for the team trip. A note about this is enclosed with this letter
and details will be provided at the brunch.
Please consider becoming an active member
of the Parents Swimming and Diving Club. Our dues are $75.00. Last
year we purchased buttons for the parents of the swimmers and
divers. We also used the funds to supplement the goody bags that
our swimmers and divers received at conference. Additionally, we
provided gifts, flowers, and balloons for our graduating seniors.
We hope to do even more this year. Membership fees can be sent to
Ms. Jeanette Imboden at 2377 Chestnut Springs Trl., Marietta,
Georgia 30062. Please make out the checks to Sewanee Parents
Swimming and Diving Parents Club.
For our incoming freshmen parents, you
will find that your son or daughter will be a part of a great group
of students as a member of the Sewanee Swimming and Diving Team. My
daughter‘s best friends are her swimming and diving companions and I
could not ask for a greater group of young women and men. I
encourage you to join the Parent’s Club, attend the brunch, and make
plans to cheer the Tigers on to victory in Crawfordsville this
coming February.
Sincerely,
Catherine Koch Schildknecht
President Sewanee Swimming and Diving Parents
Club
