OCM Social Fundraiser/Réception - Saturday May 26/Samedi 26 mai


French Follows/Français suit 

Instead of a brunch for this month, the Board and Head Coach are hosting a Social event. This social will take place at Aaron's barber shop, centrally located in the Byward Market, 91 Murray Street (http://www.notyourfathersbarber.com or www.facebook.com/NotYourFathersBarber) on Saturday, May 26 from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Yes, it is the night before the Race Weekend half and full marathon, but it's an early night and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available. 

This has been an unusual year for our club so this social is a fundraiser. As it stands, OCM will fall short on our commitments before the end of this session. So in an effort to continue to have 4 practices this spring session, we need to raise enough funds. Otherwise we will need to cancel practices until the end of the session ending June 17 to make up the short fall. 

We hope that you can attend and bring a guest to enjoy the festivities. We are selling tickets for 25$ which allows you to enjoy a free drink, appetizers, entry for a door prize, opportunity to bid on auction items, and of course, stimulating talk about swimming and more. Additional drinks are available by donation. Like our fees, we can accept e-transfers, cheques, and cash for tickets. Please RSVP by Friday, May 11 (Email us at ottawacentremasters@gmail.com) and let us know how many tickets your wish to buy and how you will purchase your tickets. Like our fees, we can accept e-transfers, cheques, and cash for tickets.

We are hoping to have prizes, but we need your help. Do you have connections to a business or service that will donate a prize or gift certificate of some sort? Please let us know and bring your item(s) to practice before the Social. 

This is an appeal and thank you for all your energy that you put into the swim club. 


Bonjour,

Au lieu d’un brunch ce mois-ci, le conseil et l’entraîneur principal du club organisent une réception. La réception aura lieu au salon d’Aaron, en plein coeur du marché By, 91 rue Murray (http://www.notyourfathersbarber.com or www.facebook.com/NotYourFathersBarber), samedi 26 mai, de 19 h à 22 h. C’est la veille du demi marathon et du marathon, c’est vrai. Mais ce sera une soirée sympa où l’on pourra jaser et s’amuser, et retrouver d’autres membres du club (anciens et nouveaux) autrement qu’en barbotant. Et puis nous servirons aussi des boissons non alcoolisées et la soirée se terminera tôt.

Cette année a été quelque peu difficile pour le club. La soirée sera donc l’occasion de recueillir des fonds sans quoi nous ne pourrons faire face à toutes nos obligations d’ici à la fin de la session. Pour pouvoir continuer d’avoir quatre entraînements par semaine, nous avons besoin de recueillir assez d’argent. Dans le cas contraire, nous serons contraints d’annuler des entraînements, au besoin, d’ici au 17 juin (Écrivez-nous à ottawacentremasters@gmail.com). Les billets pour la soirée coûtent 25 $ / pièce. Le billet vous donne droit à une boisson gratuite, des amuse-bouche, un prix de présence et la possibilité de participer à des enchères. Et puis quoi de mieux que de pouvoir parler natation et bien plus encore avec des amis. Vous pourrez vous procurer toute boisson supplémentaire en échange d’un don.

Comme pour les frais de session, vous pouvez payer vos billets par virement électronique, chèque ou argent comptant. Merci de nous dire d’ici au vendredi 11 mai combien de billets vous souhaitez acheter et comment vous compter payer.

Nous espérons avoir des prix d’entrée, mais pour cela nous avons besoin de votre aide. Connaissez-vous un magasin ou une entreprise qui serait prête à faire un don? Si oui, merci d’apporter l’article à l’un des prochains entraînements avant la soirée.

Merci d’avance de votre aide et de votre soutien envers notre club de natation.
