Hello, Swimmers!
Need another holiday party to attend??? Join me FRIDAY NIGHT, December 11th at the Cain's Ballroom for the First Ever Annual Tulsa Chapter Inaugural Multisport Festivus, Gala and Redundantly Named Benefit for the Blue Star Mothers.
Seriously.... our friends, the Tulsa Area Triathletes have organized this event to bring together the various sporting groups in town. This will include, but not limited to, the running clubs, cycling clubs, triathlon clubs, AND SWIM CLUBS! That would be us... Tulsa Masters Swim Club. The benefactor is Blue Star Mothers, the organization that sends care packages to our service men & women overseas.
I will be attending this event & would love the company of my swimming friends. We will have a table or two to call base during the night. I also need some creative minds to help me decorate our table. PLEASE contact me if you are interested. The party starts at 8:00 but we can arrive at 7:00 to decorate.
Here are the details as given to me by Carolyn Fairless, TAT Board Member and TMSC member....
Come blow off some post-season steam over the holidays by joining TAT and a bunch of other endurance clubs from the area at a PARTY that also will help out the Blue Star Moms!
DECEMBER 11, 8 pm to Midnight
CAIN'S BALLROOM
MUNCHIES AND CASH BAR (no youngsters)
DRESS IS "ENDURANCE CASUAL"
DOOR PRIZES
FEATS of STRENGTH
But wait--- come early and drink FREE beer (while it lasts) and help decorate TMSC's table in the Table Dressing Contest! That part starts at 7 pm --- We can go for some kind of swimming Xmas theme, of swimming AMERICA theme, or whatever, I'm open to ideas. I do have a small inflatable mermaid somewhere around here!
ADMISSION: donations to Blue Star Mothers.
This event sounds really fun and a great way for us to reach out to the other sporting groups in town. You never know where former swimmers might be lurking!
