Treasure Island Race Information and Other Information

The big Treasure Island Race is in a week and we still need transportation so please ask your parents if they are able to drive team members to Treasure Island. Please email me if they are available next Sunday, September 27th. The racing begins at 8AM so we need to get there by 7 to prepare and it ends at 5PM. Also, we need your tee-shirt sizes so we can order them before the race. It is mandatory to wear them at the race. It is a $10 fee to get these shirts, but we need your shirt sizes so we can order them! We are having a meeting this Wednesday at lunch in front of the ASTI mural, it will take only 10 to 15 minute again and we will go over all this stuff and reveal the identities of our new Dragonboat officers. I would like to thank all the interviewees, your interviews were terrific. Sorry for the informalities. But anyway, we will see you all this Wednesday.

We Need a Leader!

We need a stretch leader who will plan on attending every practice and will be responsible in leading the team in stretching before heading off in the water. If you're interested, please contact any of the branch presidents and be committed. Also, practice attendances have been pretty low the past few practices and everyone at Fishtix would like to remind all members that commitment to this team and to practices is very important to excel in the Treasure Island race. So please try to make it to every practice if possible. The coaches emphasize alternating sides when paddling. This will strengthen both sides of your body and make you more versatile. Plus it would reduce the hassle in deciding which side you can and cannot paddle on. One last thing is to make sure you have your own sort of eye protection for the race. It can be as simple as a pair of sunglasses, but visibility is a must and you need to protect your eyes from getting blurred by oncoming splashes.
