No practice Monday at JT

*** GBM Notice ***

Please see the message below about closure of the JT pool.

The Outdoor Pool will be closed all day today, we still do not have power at the
facility and PSNH is saying it will be another 4-6 hours minimum before it is
restored. Once it is restored we need to clean all of the debris, allow it to
gain some ground chemistry wise and also heat back up. If all goes well we
should be up and running in the morning (Tuesday) but please call (516-6085)
before making the trip over. I will send another update for your group as soon
as I get more news. Thanks

Message from Michael Arsenault

Please spread the word that we are closing the outdoor pool on Sunday in
anticipation of the storm. NO MASTERS PRACTICE THIS SUNDAY!!!!!!!! We plan on
reopening on Monday providing all goes well and we do not have any damage. Thanks

SIPP SOS - painting help needed

This is a SIPP SOS. We need people to go to the pool today (Thursday Aug 25)
and tomorrow to help finish painting the pool deck. ~PLEASE~

The new lighting took longer than expected to install and we are behind the
painting. Please help us so we can re-open the pool on time, which is Monday
AM. Even if you only have a few hours. This will be a huge help.

Call Jennifer Zorn, 603.501.0982, or Lisa Arakelian, 603.765.2181 to confirm
your availability for today and tomorrow.

Thanks so much!

Boston Light Heroics

Boston Light Heroics
Last Saturday, August 13th, GBM tough guys and our very own 'seal team', Bob
Fernald and Kyle Murray, completed the 2011 Boston Light Swim. The swim, a
local tradition since 1907, is the oldest open-water swim marathon in the United
States of America. Participants begin the race in the water at Boston Light on
Little Brewster and continue past George's Island and Rainsford Island, under
the Long Island Bridge, around Thompson's Island, finishing 8 miles later at the
L Street Bathhouse in South Boston.
Bob swam the race solo, while Kyle swam with friend Doug McKell in their two man
relay team 'McKell's Navy'. Bob had a great race to finish 2nd in just over
three hours, improving on his 4th place last year, while Kyle and Doug completed
in a highly creditable 3 hours 49 minutes. This year the race featured the added
attractions of jellyfish and rip tides. GREAT JOB GUYS!! (In case you have any
doubt about how nutty … oops, I mean how tough….. these guys really are – this
is a non-wetsuit event)
For further information see http://bostonlightswim.org/
How about a Great Bay team in 2012?
