Wanted: A Small Army

DART's chairman, Monica Moreno, recently sent out an email asking parents to sign up to help at the DART IMX meet in a couple weeks.  Sometimes it seems a bit too much, doesn't it? ... monthly fee$, suit$, cap$, goggle$, fin$, fundraiser$, meet fee$, coaching fee$ ... and now I need to volunteer my time, too?  In a word, yes.

DART isn't a corporation of paid employees.  DART is a group of parents purposed to serve their own kids.  Aside from coaches, nobody on DART gets paid anything ... nobody.  Everything that happens out of the pool gets done with volunteered hours.

The person who takes care of billing - a parent volunteer.
The people who organized the Swim-A-Thon - parent volunteers.
The person who takes T-Shirt orders ... the person who maintains the website ... the board of directors ... the people who organize the annual banquet ... the person who pays the bills ... well, you get it ... everything that gets done, gets done because a parent volunteered their time.

So, everything that doesn't get done, doesn't get done because no parent volunteered.  It takes a small army to host DART's annual IMX Challenge Meet properly, and without you, something that should get done, won't get done.  The team needs you, so please enlist sign up to help.  Just sign onto the DART website and click "Job Signup" next to the DART IMX meet ...
