Help me if you can, I'm feelin' down....

and I do appreciate your being 'round

Help me get my feet back on the ground 

won't you please, please, help me?

As my neighbors all know, I'm not afraid to ask for, plea for, or beg for help from time-to-time (tell 'em Pie Man). So I come to you hat in hand.

Tomorrow is going to be very fun, but also very hectic. The weather forecast does not look ideal, but lets keep our fingers crossed. We live in a terrific neighborhood and have a great community, so lets be certain to show it off tomorrow. A couple requests from me, if you don't mind me asking...

• tomorrow evening's meet has required, and will require Herculean volunteer efforts. If you have time tomorrow, please jump in and help
• If you attend practices tomorrow with your child, please pick up any trash/debris you see around the pool area and facility. KPM (our pool management company) is going to be cleaning the pool area prior to the meet, but we can assist by tidying up
• setting up the tents for swimmers, for clerk of course, for concessions, takes time....and the quicker we can get it done the better off we will be
• I sent out the volunteer list earlier today, so if there is specific skill you have, please contact the individual responsible (on the list) to see what assistance you can provide
• I'll be back and forth to the pool tomorrow, so if I appear frantic, disheveled, stressed or sleep-deprived, its probably because I am

In closing, I am very excited about tomorrow. You should be too. These kids have worked very hard and now is the chance for them to have a great QUALS meet. So have them rest up, drink plenty of water tomorrow, and rock their OC gear tomorrow evening.

I'll show myself out - Kyle
