Great job to our 12&Under team this past weekend!

While all the games are completed, we still have two more practices this week for EVERYONE.

We will practice Monday and Wednesday in the pool 6-7pm. We will try to make a few Christmas ornaments for our Christmas tree from 7-7:30pm. Why are we decorating a Christmas tree in early November? We will once again be decorating a tree for the Brookfield Zoo! All players are encouraged to join us after getting dressed to create a few Christmas ornaments for our 2019 Christmas tree. You can see some pictures from this year's tree tree at: https://www.facebook.com/pg/windycitywaterpolo/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2202096860048930 On Sunday, November 24, we will go to the zoo to hang our ornaments. We will meet at 10am at the north parking lot entrance, enter the zoo together, decorate our tree, explore the zoo, probably eat lunch, and then have everyone picked up about 1pm. We have 20 free tickets and 5 free parking passes. See one of the coaches at practice tonight or Wednesday if you want tickets or the parking pass. Tickets can be used for kids or adults, but we are only giving tickets to adults to handle so that they will, hopefully, be less likely to be lost. If you do not get a free ticket from us, you can still join us but will have to pay the zoo's regular rate. In the past, we have had lunch at the zoo, so please give your kids some lunch money.

Colorado group will meet on Friday at 3:30pm outside the Southwest Ticket Counter at Midway Airport. We'll go through security together. Looks like this is going to be a great trip! Expect an email or two about this as we get closer to Friday!

Saturday, November 30, Illinois Water Polo and the Chicago Wolves have teamed up and are doing an Aquatics night at the Chicago Wolves game. In addition to a ticket for the game, athletes will receive a free Chicago Wolves hockey themed swim cap and a free Wolves winter hat. Tickets cost $25. If interested, please contact Elizabeth Timmons at etimmons@fenwickfriars.com and let her know how many tickets you want. We'll do a group order so that we can all be sitting in the same section! Deadline for our group order is Monday, November 25th at 7pm. If you have questions, just let us know.
